The City of Horn Lake is soliciting proposals from qualified firms or individuals to provide comprehensive engineering services for the implementation of approved FY 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects. The scope of work includes preparation of plans and specifications, bid document development and distribution, bid opening and tabulation assistance, construction contract execution support, pre-construction conference facilitation, construction inspection, and submission of periodic reports. The contractor is also responsible for reviewing and approving payment requests. Services must adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including compliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 to promote opportunities for low-income residents and eligible businesses. The solicitation was issued on December 11, 2025, with proposals due no later than January 7, 2026, and requires physical submission of one original and six copies in sealed envelopes clearly marked "Proposal for CDBG Engineering Services" to the Office of the City Clerk in Horn Lake, Mississippi. The contract will be awarded on a fixed-price basis and evaluated primarily on non-price factors: qualifications (40 points), experience (40 points), and capacity for performance (20 points). Participation from Minority-owned, Woman-owned, and Section 3 eligible businesses is strongly encouraged. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and retain full discretion over contract award and administration. No detailed contract clauses, payment instructions, or formal certifications are specified in the solicitation documents, which emphasizes technical merit over price in the selection process.
