The City of Indianola, Mississippi is seeking qualified Mississippi Licensed Residential Contractors for the FY 2018 HOME Homeowner Rehabilitation Project, a comprehensive residential property rehabilitation initiative funded through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The procurement involves selecting a contractor to perform residential property improvements, with a specific focus on rehabilitation work for local properties. A mandatory Contractor Pre-Bid Conference is scheduled for Monday, June 23, 2025, at 11:00 am at the City Hall Annex Building, followed by a mandatory property walk-through on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at 9:00 am. Sealed bids must be submitted to Brown & Associates, Inc. by 4:00 p.m. on June 30, 2025, with bid opening and evaluation occurring during a Special Called Board Meeting at 6:00 p.m. the same day. The primary evaluation criteria will prioritize the lowest bid that is most advantageous to the City and homeowners, with contractors required to demonstrate compliance with Executive Order 12549 and HOME Investment Partnerships Program regulations.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses, with a specific emphasis on providing job training and employment opportunities for lower-income Indianola residents. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may hold bids for up to 30 days for review and homeowner consultation. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project is funded through a HOME Grant, suggesting available resources for residential rehabilitation work. Contractors must hold a valid Mississippi Licensed Residential Contractor certification to be eligible for the project. The initiative appears to be designed to support local community development by improving residential properties and creating economic opportunities for disadvantaged businesses and residents.
