The Town of Noxapater, located in Neshoba County, Mississippi, is seeking engineering services for a water treatment facility improvements project funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). This Request for Proposals (RFP) requires a qualified engineering firm to provide comprehensive services including project design, administration, construction supervision, specification preparation, bid procedure supervision, and resident project inspection. The procurement will follow a qualitative selection process using a 100-point evaluation system, with 40 points allocated to qualifications, 40 points to experience, and 20 points to capacity. Proposals must be submitted in six copies to the Town Clerk's office by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. Notably, cost is not an initial factor in firm selection, and pricing will be negotiated after identifying the top-rated firm. All questions regarding the project should be directed to Phylis Benson at the Golden Triangle Planning and Development District.

The Town of Noxapater is an Equal Opportunity Employer and actively encourages proposals from Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Woman-Owned Business Enterprises (WBEs). The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis to the most advantageous proposal, with negotiations conducted to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. While specific budget details are not disclosed in the RFP, the project involves water treatment facility improvements, suggesting potential significant infrastructure investment. The Town reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, providing flexibility in the procurement process. The use of ARC funds indicates potential federal oversight and compliance requirements, which prospective bidders should carefully consider when preparing their proposals. The project appears to be focused on infrastructure enhancement and modernization of municipal water treatment capabilities in the Noxapater area.
