The Town of Coahoma, Mississippi is seeking qualified engineering firms or individuals to provide comprehensive services for the implementation of approved Fiscal Year 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects. The procurement is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) targeting engineering services that encompass multiple project phases, including preparation of plans and specifications, bid document distribution, bid opening assistance, contract execution support, pre-construction conferences, and construction inspection with periodic reporting through project completion. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope containing one original and six copies to the Town Clerk's office at 325 Cherry Street, Coahoma, MS 38617, with a strict deadline of 12:00 p.m. on December 1, 2025. The evaluation process will assess proposals across three key criteria: qualifications (40 points), experience (40 points), and capacity for performance (20 points). The Town's Board of Aldermen will review submissions and may retain proposals for up to 30 days to conduct qualification investigations, with the intent to award to the most advantageous and highest-scoring proposal.

The Town of Coahoma explicitly encourages submissions from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. Proposing firms must detail the qualifications of assigned personnel, provide comprehensive information about their grant experience, including types and amounts of previous awards and project status, and clearly identify staff numbers and titles assigned to the project. The engineering services will be funded through CDBG awards, subject to actual grant receipt and resolution of environmental conditions. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the procurement will result in fixed-price contracts, with one individual contract per awarded project. The Town reserves significant discretion in the procurement process, maintaining the right to reject any or all proposals and terminate the selection process at any time, ensuring flexibility in meeting the community's engineering service needs.
