Reedtown Water Association is requesting qualifications from engineering firms or individuals to provide engineering services for FY 2026 Drinking Water Revolving Account project implementation, with proposals due August 6, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. local time. The Association actively encourages submissions from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses.

The scope encompasses preparing plans and specifications, distributing and managing bid documents, assisting with bid openings and tabulation, executing construction contracts, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspection with periodic reporting to the Mississippi Public Service Commission and payment request approval.

Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point scale: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points). Evaluation criteria require detailed information on assigned personnel qualifications, the firm's project history including grant awards and project status, and staffing assignments. Individual contracts will be awarded on a fixed-price basis for each awarded project, contingent upon DRA funding and removal of environmental conditions.

Proposals must be submitted in sealed envelopes to Reedtown Water Association, 455 White Oak Street, Utica, Mississippi 39175. The selection committee may retain proposals for up to thirty days for review and investigation. The Association reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and terminate the selection process at any time.
