Sunflower County, Mississippi has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for asbestos inspection services funded through a HOME Homeowner Rehabilitation Grant. The primary objective is to secure a qualified asbestos inspector to perform comprehensive inspection services in compliance with state and federal regulations. Qualified inspectors must possess proper certification from the Department of Environmental Quality and submit detailed proposals demonstrating their qualifications, experience, performance capacity, and pricing. The proposal evaluation will utilize a 100-point rating system, with equal 25-point weights assigned to qualifications, experience, performance capacity, and price. Each committee member will independently score proposals, and the most advantageous proposal will be selected on a fixed-price contract basis. Proposals must be submitted to the Chancery Clerk's office in Indianola, Mississippi by 10:00 A.M. local time on November 24, 2025, with project information available through contact with Randall Lauderdale at South Delta Planning and Development District.

The solicitation includes specific compliance requirements, such as adherence to Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968, indicating potential opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses. No specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions were explicitly outlined in the documentation. Sunflower County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process. While no specific budget range was provided, the procurement is being funded through a HOME Homeowner Rehabilitation Grant, suggesting a defined but unspecified project budget. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements were mentioned in the documentation. Interested asbestos inspection firms should carefully review the complete RFP requirements and prepare comprehensive proposals that demonstrate their technical expertise, professional certifications, and competitive pricing strategies to maximize their potential for contract award.
