The City of Amory is committed to promoting diversity and equal opportunity in its procurement process, explicitly encouraging submissions from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses. The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis to the most qualified individual or firm, determined by the highest cumulative points and most advantageous proposal to the City. The procurement allows the City to reject any or all proposals and terminate the selection process at its discretion. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the involvement of multiple federal and state funding agencies suggests significant potential project scope and funding availability. The City's approach emphasizes comprehensive evaluation of potential engineering partners, focusing on technical expertise, past performance, and capability to successfully execute complex water infrastructure improvement projects.
