The Missouri Department of Transportation is now posting all of its bid solicitation documents on the new

MissouriBUYS Bid Board (https://www.missouribuys.mo.gov). MissouriBUYS is the State of Missouri’s web-based statewide eProcurement system which is powered by WebProcure, through our partner, Perfect

Commerce.

For all bid solicitations, vendors now have the option of submitting their solicitation response either as an electronic response or as a hard copy response. As a means to save vendors the expense of submitting a hard copy response and to provide vendors both the ease and the timeliness of responding from a computer, vendors are encouraged to submit an electronic response. Both methods of submission are explained briefly below and in more detail in the step-by-step instructions provided at https://missouribuys.mo.gov/sites/missouribuys/files/How_To_Respond_To_A_Solicitation.pdf

Notice: The vendor is solely responsible for ensuring timely submission of their solicitation response, whether submitting an online response or a hard copy response.

“Register” button at the top of the page, and completing the Vendor Registration. Once registered the vendor should log back into MissouriBUYS and edit their profile by selecting the organizational contact(s) that should receive an automated confirmation of the vendor’s electronic bid responses successfully submitted to the state.

To respond electronically to a solicitation, the vendor must login to MissouriBUYS, locate the desired solicitation on the Bid Board, and, at a minimum, the vendor must read and accept the Original Solicitation

Documents and complete pricing and any other identified requirements. In addition, the vendor should download and save all of the Original Solicitation Documents on their computer so that they can prepare their response to these documents. Vendors should upload their completed response to these downloaded documents (including exhibits, forms, and other information concerning the solicitation) as an attachment to the electronic solicitation response. Step-by-step instructions for how a registered vendor responds to a solicitation electronically are available on the MissouriBUYS system at:

https://missouribuys.mo.gov/sites/missouribuys/files/How_To_Respond_To_A_Solicitation.pdf

Vendors are encouraged to submit their entire proposal electronically; however in lieu of attaching exhibits, forms, pricing, etc. to the electronic solicitation response, a vendor may submit the exhibits, forms, pricing, etc. through mail or courier service. However, any such submission must be received prior to the solicitation’s specified end date and time. Be sure to include the solicitation/opportunity (OPP) number, company name, and a contact name on any hard copy solicitation response documents submitted through mail or courier service.

In the event a registered vendor electronically submits a solicitation response and also mails hard copy documents that are not identical, the vendor should explain which response is valid for the state's consideration. In the absence of such explanation, the state reserves the right to evaluate and award the response which serves its best interest.

1.2. SFS Determination

Page:7

This Single Feasible Source Determination is made in accordance with the following Code of State

Regulation: 7 CSR 10-11.020 Procedures for Solicitation, Receipt of Bids, and Award and

Administration of Contracts

(4) The division may waive the requirement of competitive bids or proposals for supplies when the division has determined in writing that there is only a single feasible source for the supplies. Immediately upon discovering that other feasible sources exist, the division shall rescind the waiver and proceed to procure the supplies through the competitive processes as described in this rule.

(A) A single feasible source exists when:

1. Supplies are proprietary and only available from the manufacturer or a single distributor; or

2. Based on past procurement experience, it is determined that only one (1) distributor services the region in which the supplies are needed; or

3. Supplies are available at a discount from a single distributor for a limited period of time.

(B) When the Single Feasible Source procurement method is utilized, the division shall use the following guidelines to support the Single Feasible Source determination:

1. The following guidelines may be utilized to determine if supplies can be purchased as a single feasible source due to being proprietary:

A. The parts are required to maintain validity of a warranty;

B. Additions to a system must be compatible with original equipment;

C. Only one (1) type of computer software exists for a specific application;

D. Factory authorized maintenance must be utilized to maintain validity of a warranty;

E. The materials are copyrighted and are only available from the publisher or a single distributor; or

F. The services of a particular provider are unique, e.g., entertainers, authors, etc.

2. The following guidelines may be utilized if past procurement activity indicates that only one (1) bid has been submitted in a particular region. In these situations the division shall monitor the market for developing competition; and

3. The following guidelines may be utilized to determine if supplies may be purchased as a single feasible source due to being available at a discount for a limited period of time:

A. The discounted price must be compared to a price established through a reasonable market analysis; and

B. The discounted price should normally be at least ten percent (10%) less than the current contract or other comparable price. A discount of less than ten percent (10%) may be acceptable under appropriate market conditions. The discount should be compared to a price which, where feasible, should be no more than twelve (12) months old.

This bid does not have any documents.

(C) On any single feasible source purchase where the estimated expenditure shall be five thousand dollars

($5,000) or over, the division shall post notice of the proposed purchase. Where the estimated expenditure is twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or over, the division shall also advertise its intent to make such purchase in such places as are most likely to reach prospective bidders or offerors and may provide such information through an electronic medium available to the general public at least five (5) days before the contract is to be let. Other methods of advertisement, however, may be adopted by the division when such other methods are deemed more advantageous for the supplies to be purchased. The requirement for advertising may be waived, if not feasible, due to the supplies being available at a discount for only a limited period of time.
