The Town of New Augusta, Mississippi, is soliciting proposals from qualified firms or individuals to provide comprehensive engineering services for projects funded by the FY 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). This solicitation calls for expertise in all phases of project implementation, including preparation of cost estimates, design and bid document development, assistance with bid opening and contract execution, conducting pre-construction conferences, and performing construction inspections through project closeout. The scope mandates strict adherence to federal, state, and local regulations, notably compliance with Section 3 of the HUD Act (24 CFR Part 75), which emphasizes opportunities for low- and very low-income individuals. The Town encourages participation from Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses, although these are voluntary and not mandatory requirements. Proposals will be evaluated on a best-value trade-off basis with a total of 100 points, allocated as 40 points for qualifications, 40 points for relevant experience with similar grant-funded projects, and 20 points for capacity to perform, including staff assignments. Selection will be made based on the highest scored proposal, contingent upon CDBG award and environmental clearances. The contract will be fixed-price, following the CDBG fee scale, but no specific contract value or pricing details are provided in the solicitation. Deliveries and performance will occur in New Augusta, Mississippi, with proposal submissions due by January 6, 2026, sent physically to the Town Clerk’s office. The solicitation excludes formal FAR clauses, organizational conflict of interest provisions, and specific invoicing or payment instructions, reflecting its local government context and adherence to HUD program requirements rather than federal procurement regulations.
