The Town of Roxie, Mississippi, is soliciting proposals from qualified firms or individuals to provide comprehensive engineering services for projects funded under the FY 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The services encompass the full engineering lifecycle, including developing cost estimates, preparing preliminary and final plans and specifications, assisting with bidding processes, contract execution, conducting pre-construction conferences, overseeing construction inspections, and closing out projects. Proposals are evaluated primarily on qualifications, experience, and capacity for performance, with emphasis on personnel credentials and demonstrated expertise in similar grant-funded projects. While price is considered, the contract is awarded based on best value and fixed-price fees aligned with the CDBG fee schedule. Submissions must be physically delivered in sealed envelopes clearly marked “Proposal for CDBG Engineering Services” by January 5, 2026, to the Town Clerk’s office in Roxie, with no electronic submissions accepted. The contract stipulates compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, particularly HUD’s Section 3 requirements ensuring employment and contracting opportunities for Minority-owned, Woman-owned, and Section 3 businesses. The Town promotes equitable participation in the procurement process but does not require formal socioeconomic certifications or unique entity identifiers in proposals. No specific contract clauses or formal attachments are provided beyond the regulatory framework, and the contract administration, including payment and oversight contacts, is managed locally without detailed invoicing protocols disclosed. Inspection and acceptance of work occur on-site within Roxie, with the contractor responsible for ongoing inspection and reporting, while the Town retains final acceptance authority. The contract duration aligns with the FY 2026 grant period, though definitive start and end dates are not indicated. Overall, this fixed-price solicitation seeks a capable engineering firm to manage CDBG projects in Roxie with accountability for regulatory compliance, technical quality, and inclusive contracting practices.
