Sunflower County, Mississippi is conducting a Request for Proposals (RFP) to secure legal services for a HOME Homeowner Rehabilitation Grant program. The primary objective is to obtain legal support for housing rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts, with specific focus on conducting clear title searches for housing units and providing associated project assistance. Proposals must be submitted to the Chancery Clerk's Office in Indianola, MS by 10:00 A.M. local time on November 24, 2025. The evaluation process will utilize a comprehensive scoring method with four equally weighted criteria: Qualifications (25 points), Experience (25 points), Capacity for Performance (25 points), and Price (25 points), totaling 100 points. Each committee member will independently score proposals, with the contract to be awarded to the most advantageous proposal. The selected vendor will be responsible for executing legal services on a fixed price, per-unit basis to support the county's housing rehabilitation initiative.

The procurement opportunity requires compliance with Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968, which typically provides contracting preferences for low-income residents and businesses. Sunflower County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals submitted. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to support the housing rehabilitation project effectively. Additional project information can be obtained by contacting Randall Lauderdale at the South Delta Planning and Development District via telephone at 662-378-3831. Funding for the project is provided through a HOME Homeowner Rehabilitation Grant, suggesting potential budget constraints or specific fund allocation requirements. No specific contract value or budget range was explicitly stated in the available documentation, indicating that pricing will be a critical component of the proposal evaluation process.
