Request for Proposals: Operations and Maintenance Services for Public Works

The City of Moss Point has issued a five-year request for proposals from qualified firms to operate and maintain its Public Works Department, with an estimated contract value ranging from five to fifteen million dollars. Interested companies must submit seven sealed copies of their proposal along with one electronic copy on a flash drive by 3:00 P.M. CST on August 12, 2025, to the City Clerk’s Office. Proposals should be clearly marked with the RFP title and must adhere to strict submission protocols; late or email/fax submissions will not be accepted. The evaluation process emphasizes management qualifications, experience, performance history, staffing plan, workplan, and price, with price accounting for 35% of the total score. The selection will be based on the proposal’s overall best value, with the City reserving the right to award to the most advantageous offer. The procurement process includes opportunities for proposers to tour the Public Works facilities and submit questions by August 1, 2025, with responses shared publicly at least three days before the deadline. The contract does not specify particular FAR clauses, security requirements, or detailed technical standards, focusing instead on qualifications, experience, and cost. Supporting documents, including the RFP package, are available for purchase online, and proposers are encouraged to prepare comprehensive management and staffing plans, demonstrating their capability to deliver reliable public works services. The agreement aims to ensure efficient, cost-effective maintenance and operation of the city’s infrastructure, with the contract awarded to the most advantageous proposal based on a balanced evaluation of technical merit and price.
