Hancock County, Mississippi is requesting qualifications for professional engineering services related to the Harbor Drive Boat Launch project, with sealed proposals due August 17, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The County explicitly solicits proposals from small and minority firms, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms.

The scope comprises engineering services on a County-established timeline. Respondents must submit statements of qualifications and experience with pertinent personnel credentials. A selection committee will evaluate proposals using a point-based system with a maximum of 25 points in each of four categories: knowledge and experience with federal project program management; familiarity with regulatory frameworks and grant/loan application experience; technical competence of staff and principals; and knowledge of similar projects.

The project is funded at least partially through Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) funds or other federal funds. All resulting contracts must include provisions outlined in Title 2 CFR Sections 200.318–316 and GOMESA funding guidelines, making federal cost principles and compliance requirements binding on the selected firm. The County reserves the right to negotiate compensation and terms with the selected firm and to negotiate with subsequent ranked firms if negotiations with the highest-ranking firm fail.

Sealed proposals must be properly labeled "Professional Services Proposal - Harbor Drive Boat Launch" and delivered to Jimmie Ladner, County Administrator, Office of the County Administrator, 854-A Highway 90, Bay Saint Louis, MS 39520. Proposals may be mailed or hand-delivered. Hancock County is an equal opportunity employer and contractor.
