The City of Oxford plans to contract with a reputable consulting firm for engineering and design services for Federally Funded Projects related to community and economic development. This procurement could include Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Redevelopment Fund Projects (RDF), Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Employment Incentive Program (EIP), Economic Development Administrations (EDA) Projects, Southeast Crescent Regional Commission (SCRC) Projects, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Projects, and any other federally funded project in Compliance with 2 CFR 200 for Procurement. This procurement action may also lead to additional project contracts and/or contract addendums for planning, administrative and other related services for State and Federally funded projects. This is not a request for a retainer of services. Immediate plans call for services to assist with the preparation of a Preliminary Engineering Report for a 2025 SEID grant application as part of a SCRC funding program related to public infrastructure improvements for a water system improvements construction project consisting of the replacement of an aging water main on Haygood Avenue. All firms submitting will be reconsidered, on a project-by-project basis, should future state and federally funded opportunities arise within the next 2-3 year period
