Alcorn State University is seeking sealed bids for shower renovations at John Burrus Hall, located in Lorman, Mississippi within Clay County. The procurement is a formal bid process for construction services, with sealed bids due by 10:30 a.m. CST on July 29, 2025, to be submitted to the Facilities Management Office. Bidders must obtain contract documents through the Waycaster-Dungan planroom website and can submit electronic bids via the MAGIC system. A mandatory bid bond security of 5% is required for contracts exceeding $25,000, and successful bidders will need to provide 100% Performance and Payment Bonds. The project requires strict adherence to Mississippi state law, with specific licensing and certification requirements, particularly for non-resident contractors who must attach documentation of their home state's contractor regulations. Alcorn State University reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may hold bids for up to 45 days for comprehensive review and investigation of bidder qualifications.

The bid opportunity appears to be open to all qualified contractors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Non-resident bidders must comply with additional documentation requirements, which may create some barriers to entry for out-of-state contractors. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the requirement for bid bond security suggests the project has a substantial financial scope. The procurement will be administered by Waycaster-Dungan Architect & Engineers, PLLC, and the bid advertisement will be published in The Natchez Democrat and The Clarion Ledger on June 25 and July 2, 2025. The project involves renovation of shower facilities in John Burrus Hall, indicating potential infrastructure improvements or modernization efforts for the university's student housing facilities.
