Alcorn State University Foundation, Inc. is seeking sealed bids for Renovations to the President's House Bid Package 2 Carport Addition, located in Lorman, Mississippi within Clay County. The procurement is a construction project specifically focusing on adding a carport to the existing presidential residence. Bid documents are available through the Waycaster-Dungan plan room website, with potential bidders required to purchase documents to be included on the official plan holders list. The bid submission deadline is July 29, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. CST, with bids to be received at the Facilities Management Office at 1000 ASU Drive. Bidders must provide a Bid Bond Security/Guarantee of 5% for contracts exceeding $25,000.00, and will be required to submit 100% Performance and Payment Bonds. Qualification requirements include providing licensing certifications and compliance documentation as specified in the contract documents. The owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may withhold bids for up to 45 days to review and investigate bidder qualifications.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Non-resident bidders must include a copy of their home state's current law regarding non-resident contractors. The bid will be published in two local newspapers, The Natchez Democrat and The Clarion Ledger, on June 25, 2025, and July 2, 2025, to ensure broad visibility. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the requirement for bid bonds suggests the project has a substantial financial scope. The procurement is limited to contractors capable of completing a carport addition project, with emphasis on technical competence, licensing, and financial stability. The Alcorn State University Foundation will evaluate bids based on qualifications, compliance with bid specifications, and overall project feasibility. The contract appears to be a direct procurement without indication of an incumbent vendor or existing technological infrastructure requirements.
