Truelight Redevelopment Group is soliciting sealed proposals for the construction of a complete SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) System located in Sharkey County, Mississippi. The procurement is a public works project expected to be funded through the ARPA Rural Water Association Infrastructure Grant (RWAIG). Proposals will be received at Heflin Engineering's office in Brandon, MS until 10:00 AM local time on May 22, 2025, with bids to be publicly opened and read aloud on the same day. The project requires bidders to submit comprehensive technical proposals demonstrating their capability to design, construct, and implement a fully functional SCADA system, with bid security of 5% of the total bid amount mandatory. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on technical competence, project approach, compliance with grant requirements, and overall cost-effectiveness. Bidding documents are available for examination at multiple locations, including Heflin Engineering and Mississippi Procurement Technical Assistance Program offices, with potential bidders expected to thoroughly review all specifications and requirements before submission.

The procurement specifically encourages participation from minority and women's business enterprises, with Truelight Redevelopment Group operating as an Equal Opportunity Employer. The organization reserves the right to reject any bids, waive informalities, and retain the ability to examine submitted proposals for up to 60 days before making a final award determination. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the project's funding through the ARPA RWAIG suggests significant infrastructure investment potential. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds guidance and possess advanced technical capabilities in SCADA system design and implementation. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and most responsive bidder that fully meets the project's technical specifications and grant requirements, with a strong emphasis on meeting the infrastructure development needs of Sharkey County's water management systems.
