Copiah County, Mississippi is requesting qualifications for engineering services to support implementation of potential FY 2027 Delta Regional Authority (DRA) project(s), contingent upon funding award, with proposals due October 13, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. local time. The County actively encourages Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs) to submit proposals.

The scope encompasses preparing plans and specifications, distributing bid documents, assisting with bid opening and tabulation, executing construction contracts, conducting pre-construction conferences, performing construction inspection, providing periodic progress reports, and reviewing and recommending approval of construction payment requests. Services must be delivered through project closeout in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and policies. A separate contract will be executed for each awarded project.

Proposals are evaluated on three factors: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points). Proposed engineering fees or fee schedules receive no consideration. The County will establish a selection committee to evaluate and rank proposals, with a review period not to exceed thirty days following the submission deadline. Contract award is contingent upon DRA funding and satisfaction of pre-contract requirements.

The County will negotiate a fixed-price contract with the highest-ranked qualified firm. Copiah County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and may terminate the selection process at any time. Proposals should be submitted to the Office of the County Administrator, P.O. Box 551, Hazlehurst, Mississippi 39083.
