Copiah County, Mississippi, is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering firms or individuals to provide professional engineering services for the implementation of FY 2027 Delta Regional Authority projects, contingent upon the award of funding. The scope of work encompasses the entire project lifecycle through closeout, including the preparation of plans and specifications, distribution of bid documents, assistance with bid openings and tabulations, execution of construction contracts, and conducting pre-construction conferences. Additionally, the selected provider will be responsible for construction inspection, submitting periodic reports, and reviewing construction payment requests in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope marked Proposal for DRA Engineering Services and delivered to the Office of the County Administrator by 3:00 PM local time on October 13, 2026. Selection will be made by a committee based on weighted evaluation factors, including staff qualifications and capacity; notably, price and fee schedules must not be included in the proposal as they will not be used for ranking. The county intends to negotiate a fair and reasonable fixed-price contract with the highest-ranked qualified respondent, with separate contracts executed for each individual project awarded.
