The Town of Ecru, Mississippi, is seeking engineering services for a Sewer Infrastructure project potentially funded through HUD Community Development Block Grant and Appalachian Regional Commission. The Request for Proposals (RFP) requires qualified engineering firms to provide comprehensive services including preparing a preliminary cost estimate, developing an engineering report, creating detailed plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid opening and contract execution, conducting a preconstruction conference, and performing construction inspection with periodic reporting. Proposals must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. local time on April 23, 2025, at the Ecru Town Hall. The evaluation process will assess proposals based on three key criteria: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points), with a specific focus on the qualifications of assigned personnel, the firm's previous project experience, and overall staffing capabilities. Proposals will be comprehensively reviewed to determine the most advantageous submission, with the town reserving the right to reject any or all proposals and terminate the selection process at its discretion.

The Town of Ecru demonstrates a commitment to inclusive procurement by encouraging proposals from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, the town seeks to create opportunities for diverse business participation in this infrastructure project. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated in the RFP, the project involves sewer infrastructure development, which typically represents a significant municipal investment. The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis to the firm achieving the highest cumulative points, indicating a competitive selection process that prioritizes technical expertise and organizational capability. The procurement approach suggests the town is seeking a comprehensive engineering partner capable of managing all aspects of the sewer infrastructure project from initial planning through construction oversight.
