The Woodville Main Street Association (WMSA) is seeking qualified vendors to develop a comprehensive master plan for downtown Woodville, Mississippi, through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) funded by the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant Program under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The primary deliverable is a high-quality downtown master plan that requires professional services including detailed preparation work, coordination with local businesses, and citizen engagement. Evaluation criteria will focus on demonstrated expertise in creating master plans, cost-effectiveness, timeline feasibility, and positive references from previous clients. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals that include contact information, a summary of relevant experience, and at least three client references. The proposal submission deadline is December 30, 2024, at close of business, with all materials to be emailed to info@woodvillemainstreet.org. Prospective vendors must demonstrate capabilities in urban planning, historic preservation, and compliance with local, state, and federal regulations specific to downtown redevelopment initiatives.

The procurement appears to be open to a wide range of professional consulting firms and urban planning organizations, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. The project has an allocated budget of $57,950, which provides a clear financial framework for potential respondents. All contracts will be required to comply with federal award requirements as outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 2, Part 200, Appendix II, which implies strict financial and operational accountability. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the project's funding through the American Rescue Plan Act suggests a focus on economic recovery and community revitalization. The selected vendor will need to demonstrate expertise in creating comprehensive downtown master plans that balance historical preservation with modern urban development strategies. Respondents should be prepared to provide detailed documentation of their qualifications, past project successes, and a clear methodology for developing an effective master plan for downtown Woodville.
