Holmes County, Mississippi is seeking engineering services proposals for an Economic Development Administration (EDA) project focusing on infrastructure improvements at the Holmes County Industrial Park. The procurement requires a comprehensive engineering approach, with specific deliverables including a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), detailed plans and specifications for bid advertisement, bid evaluation, contract award recommendations, pre-construction conference coordination, construction inspection, and EDA compliance advisory services. Proposals must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. local time on November 20, 2025, either by mail to the Holmes County Office of Administration (P.O. Box 239, Lexington, Mississippi 39095) or in person to the County Administrator's Office at 408 Court Square, Lexington. The evaluation process will utilize a 120-point rating system, with points distributed equally across four categories: Qualifications (30 points), Experience (30 points), Capacity for Performance (30 points), and Familiarity (30 points). A selection committee appointed by the Holmes County Board of Supervisors will review submissions, with the intent to negotiate a contract with the highest-scoring firm and ultimately present recommendations for final board approval.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, interested firms should demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in engineering and infrastructure development. The county reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, indicating a competitive and selective procurement process. For additional information or clarification, potential respondents can contact Reggie Ross at the North Central Planning and Development District by phone at (662) 283-2675 or visit their office at 28 Industrial Park Boulevard in Winona, Mississippi. No specific budget range or award value is directly stated in the available documentation, suggesting that pricing and contract value will be determined through the competitive proposal and negotiation process. The project appears to be focused on critical infrastructure improvements, with the ultimate goal of enhancing economic development capabilities within Holmes County.
