DESIGN SERVICES – University of Mississippi West Road Improvements
1:00 p.m. (CT)
Letters of qualifications will be received by the University from design firms interested in providing design services
for the project. The University intends to improve West Campus Road to enhance campus circulation, safety, and
accessibility, including roadway geometry, pedestrian and vehicular coordination, and related site improvements.
The selected design firm will work with representatives of the University including the Department of Facilities
Planning, and others as may be determined. The selected firm must have an established record of expertise in
higher education campus infrastructure projects and roadway improvements, familiarity with projects of a similar
size and scope, and a demonstrated ability to respond to an aggressive schedule. Interested firms may suggest
other sub-consultants with a record of similar experience. However, the intended contract will be a single contract
for complete design and construction documents between the University and the selected design firm.
The submittal should include, in addition to the letter of interest, two copies of the following:
1) A brochure illustrating appropriate, similar experience of the firm and subconsultants, if proposed
2) Completed SF 330 or an equivalent Government form
3) Appropriate support material
Either the SF 330 currently in use by the Federal Government, or Form M54 and M55, as required by the State of
Mississippi, may be used for this submittal. Final applications, including the letters of interest, the two standard
forms, and the brochures, must be received no later than the advertised time. It is anticipated that firms selected
for final interviews will be notified no later than 5:00 p.m. on March 11, 2026. The University will then interview
the selected firms and recommend appointment of the best qualified firm to the Board of Trustees of the State
Institutions of Higher Learning.
A meeting will be held for Professionals that would like to discuss the project prior to the submission date on
February 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (CT) at the John W. White Facilities Management Bldg., Large Conference Room,
700 Hathorn Road, University, MS. University parking permits are required for all attendees. Information about the
