Alcorn State University Foundation, Inc. is seeking sealed bids for a renovation project focused on the President's House, specifically Bid Package 2 involving a carport addition located in Lorman, Mississippi within Clay County. The procurement solicits construction services for the carport addition, with bids to be received at the Facilities Management Office until 10:00 a.m. CST on November 18, 2025. Bidders must purchase contract documents through the Waycaster-Dungan planroom to be on the official plan holders list and must provide a Bid Bond Security/Guarantee of 5% for contracts exceeding $25,000. Additional mandatory requirements include 100% Performance and Payment Bonds and appropriate contractor licensing and qualifications 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 bid will be publicly opened and read aloud, with publication occurring in The Natchez Democrat and The Clarion Ledger during October 2025.

The procurement appears to have standard Mississippi state contracting requirements, including mandatory compliance with Mississippi Code of 1972 and specific provisions for non-resident bidders who must include documentation of their home state's contractor regulations. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned, bidders must demonstrate professional qualifications and financial stability through required bonding and licensing documentation. The procurement does not specify a precise award value or budget range, though the requirement for bid bonds suggests the project has significant financial scope. Potential bidders should carefully review all contract documents to understand the full technical specifications and requirements for the carport addition project. The procurement is being managed directly by the Alcorn State University Foundation, suggesting this is an institutionally-driven capital improvement initiative focused on enhancing university infrastructure.
