Blue Mountain Christian University (BMCU) in Blue Mountain, Mississippi, is seeking sealed bids for the construction of a 4,200 square foot pre-engineered metal building to house nursing classrooms in Walthall County. The project involves creating a turnkey facility with a 40'x60'x5" concrete slab foundation, a 40'x60'x12' metal building, and a 20'x10' drive-through. The scope of work includes comprehensive site preparation, interior layout with two classrooms, two offices, two bathrooms, and a storage area, along with full plumbing, HVAC, electrical, doors, windows, and exterior and interior finishes. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM, where prospective bidders must RSVP by emailing Polly Hall at phall@bmc.edu. The final bid submission deadline is August 25, 2025, at 12:00 PM, with sealed bids to be submitted directly to the university's Chief Financial Officer. The project is federally funded and requires strict compliance with multiple regulatory requirements, including 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and detailed technical specifications for construction materials and systems.

The procurement opportunity has specific compliance requirements for bidders, including a mandatory debarment check through www.sam.gov and adherence to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage regulations. The project includes guidelines for Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation, suggesting potential set-aside or preference considerations for disadvantaged business enterprises. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving a complete educational facility build-out with complex infrastructure requirements—indicates a significant investment in supporting BMCU's expanding nursing program. Bidders will need to demonstrate expertise in educational facility construction, compliance with federal procurement regulations, and the ability to meet stringent technical and architectural specifications. The project represents a strategic investment in educational infrastructure, with a focus on creating a modern, code-compliant facility that supports advanced nursing education.
