Sewer Infrastructure Expansion Project Kiln, Mississippi

The Kiln Utility & Fire District of Hancock County, Mississippi, is soliciting sealed Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) for the Kiln Utility Sewer Infrastructure Expansion Project, focusing on the expansion of sewer systems along Kiln DeLisle Road and Kapalama Drive. The solicitation (number 3170034610), issued on December 10, 2025, requires submissions by 4:00 PM on January 7, 2026. This RFQ seeks qualified firms with relevant experience and sufficient technical and managerial capacity to support planning, design, and implementation of the sewer infrastructure expansion. The solicitation emphasizes adherence to federal compliance provisions, including participation by minority and women-owned business enterprises consistent with 2 C.F.R. §200.321, and is funded through the RESTORE Act, administered by Mississippi regulatory authorities. Submissions must be comprehensive yet concise, limited to 30 typewritten pages (excluding resumes, professional licenses, and certifications), and formatted in 12-point font on 8.5 by 11-inch paper. The SOQ package requires one original and five color copies in print, along with one USB drive containing a single color PDF of the complete package, clearly labeled with the respondent’s name and mailing address. Evaluation criteria focus primarily on qualifications, relevant experience, and capacity for performance without requiring pricing information, consistent with a Qualifications-Based Selection process. Award will be based on the best-value determination derived from these qualitative factors rather than cost. Proposals are to be delivered to the Kiln Utility & Fire District’s office at 16154 Fire Department Road, Kiln, MS 39556, with Rachel Patton, Office Manager, serving as the primary point of contact. The solicitation does not specify contract type, payment or invoicing details, or performance period but indicates inspection and acceptance will be managed by the government at the Kiln Utility & Fire District location. No unique entity ID or socioeconomic self-certifications are mandatory; however, participation of MWBEs is encouraged in alignment with federal grant requirements.
