The Town of Tunica, Mississippi, is seeking qualified engineering firms or individuals to provide comprehensive services for the implementation of the 2025 Town of Tunica Water Repair Plan, which is funded by the Delta Regional Authority (DRA). The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) requires engineering services that encompass preparing project cost estimates, developing preliminary engineering reports, creating plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid openings, executing contracts, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspections. Proposals must be submitted by 4 p.m. on May 20, 2025, with one original and six copies delivered to the Town Clerk's office. The evaluation of proposals will be based on three key criteria: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points), with specific requirements for each category. Proposals will be assessed on the firm's ability to demonstrate technical expertise, relevant project history, and organizational capabilities to successfully complete the water repair project.

The Town encourages submissions from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs) and requires firms to provide proof of E-Verify system registration. The contracting authority reserves the right to reject any proposals and will award the contract to the most advantageous proposal based on cumulative points, contingent upon DRA award(s) and environmental condition removals. Contracts will be executed on a fixed-price basis for each awarded project, with the Town retaining the ability to terminate the selection at its discretion. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the project is tied to the Delta Regional Authority's funding mechanism. Potential respondents should note that the procurement is specifically focused on engineering services for water infrastructure repair, and the successful vendor will need to demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities and a track record of similar municipal water system improvement projects.
