Homestead Water Association is requesting proposals from qualified engineering firms or individuals to provide comprehensive engineering services for Mississippi Department of Health Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund projects, with proposals due September 25, 2026 at 12:00 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 under the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, which requires maximizing job training and employment opportunities for lower-income residents of Scott County.

The scope encompasses the full project lifecycle: preliminary engineering reports and cost estimates, plans and specifications development, bid document distribution, bid opening assistance and tabulation, construction contract execution support, pre-construction conferences, and construction inspection services with periodic reporting and payment request approval through project closeout. The Association will evaluate proposals on a 40-point scale for qualifications, 40 points for experience, and 20 points for capacity for performance. The evaluation committee will investigate the qualifications of assigned personnel and firms prior to award, considering cumulative points and other factors deemed advantageous to the Association.

Contracts will be awarded on a fixed-price basis to individual projects. Contract award is contingent upon MSDH-DWSRLF funding approval and satisfaction of all environmental conditions. The Association reserves the right to hold proposals for up to thirty days during the review process and to terminate the selection process or reject any or all proposals at any time. Advertisement ran August 26 and September 2, 2026.
