The Long Beach School District in Harrison County, Mississippi, is seeking bids for a comprehensive construction project involving a new Career Technology Center building and associated site improvements. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid opportunity with ten distinct bid packages covering site and civil work, structural concrete, masonry, pre-engineered metal building, general works, glass/glazing/storefront, flooring, mechanical and plumbing, fire protection, and electrical work. Bidders must submit sealed bids by 2:00 PM local standard time on March 23, 2023, either electronically through the architect's website or in a physical sealed envelope. Key qualifications include providing a bid bond or certified check for at least 5% of the bid amount and, for bids over $50,000, including a Mississippi certificate of responsibility number. MP Design Group serves as the project architect, and bid documents can be obtained from their website upon payment of a non-refundable deposit. Bidders are required to hold their offers irrevocable for 60 days after submission, and the contract will be a Stipulated Sum agreement.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents, bidders must meet certain professional and financial criteria to be considered. The project does not indicate the presence of incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the complexity of the ten bid packages and the comprehensive nature of constructing a new Career Technology Center suggest a significant capital investment. The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids, providing flexibility in the procurement process. Prospective bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure compliance with the Mississippi certificate of responsibility requirements and the specified bid security provisions.
