Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the City’s e-Procurement Portal by December 4, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. EST. The contract, valued between 500,000 and 2,000,000 dollars, will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria, although specific evaluation factors are not detailed in the documents. The procurement emphasizes compliance with federal civil rights laws, notably Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and mandates inclusion of nondiscrimination clauses in all subcontracts and legal instruments. The contract clauses reference standard federal nondiscrimination and civil rights provisions, with appendices providing complaint forms and compliance procedures. The City of Jackson maintains a strong commitment to equitable treatment and non-discrimination in all its programs and activities receiving federal assistance. While detailed contract administration data, such as payment procedures, inspection criteria, and offeror certifications, are not explicitly provided, the documents highlight the importance of compliance with federal regulations and the need for proposers to adhere to specified contractual and legal requirements.
