The City of Moorhead, Mississippi, located in Walthall County, is seeking Statements of Qualifications from engineering firms or individuals to provide comprehensive services for a Fiscal Year 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. The selected contractor will be responsible for preparing project cost estimates, developing detailed plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid openings, executing construction contracts, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspections. Evaluation of submissions will be based on qualifications (40 points), experience (40 points), and capacity for performance (20 points). Interested parties must submit their Statements of Qualifications by 4:00 p.m. on April 30, 2025. The city will select the most advantageous submission and award the contract on a fixed-price basis for individual projects.

The procurement opportunity emphasizes equal opportunity and specifically encourages participation from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses. The evaluation will prioritize firms with demonstrated experience in grant-related projects, strong staff qualifications, and proven ability to provide comprehensive engineering services throughout the project lifecycle. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract will be tied to the CDBG project funding. The city will carefully assess each submission's technical capabilities, past performance, and potential to successfully execute the required engineering services. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate their expertise in municipal engineering, grant-funded project management, and compliance with federal and local regulatory requirements.
