The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northwest District is seeking a vendor to provide and install two 10,000-gallon stainless steel paint tanks and associated fixtures at their new Roadside facility located in Chillicothe, Missouri. The procurement is a one-time purchase and installation contract with specific technical requirements for the tanks, which must be SS304 stainless steel with a 15-degree cone bottom leg support, measuring 11'6" in diameter and 13' in shell height. The deliverables include the tanks themselves, along with detailed accessories such as 24" bolted manholes with gaskets, interior and exterior ladders, handrail assemblies, and agitator systems. The bid solicitation (IFB605NW23000154) opened on July 22, 2022, at 6:00 PM GMT and closed on July 29, 2022, at 4:00 PM GMT, with a desired delivery and installation date of November 16, 2022. Vendors were required to submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system and could schedule site visits with the MoDOT Facility Operations Supervisor. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Vendors must submit a 5% bid bond or equivalent and, if awarded the contract, provide a 100% performance and payment bond. The successful contractor will be required to maintain specific insurance coverages, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability, and workers' compensation. While no specific incumbent vendor was mentioned, the contract includes provisions for liquidated damages of $500 per day per item for late delivery. Payment terms are structured with 50% of the awarded amount to be paid upfront and the remaining 50% due upon successful completion of the work. The contract is tax-exempt and includes standard provisions such as compliance with the Domestic Products Procurement Act, E-Verify program participation, and anti-discrimination requirements. Although no specific budget range was provided, the comprehensive technical specifications and installation requirements suggest a significant investment in infrastructure for the MoDOT Northwest District.
