105 W Capitol Interior Drainage Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB605CO18001835) for the 105 W Capitol Interior Drainage Project located in Jefferson City, Missouri. The project focuses on addressing critical interior water leaks in the basement on the west side of the MoDOT building at 105 W. Capitol Avenue, which are caused by deteriorated under-floor storm drain lines and inadequate storm drain sizing. The primary objective is to replace the existing interior storm drain system from the 3rd floor ceiling down through the building and out to a sewer tie-in at West Capitol Avenue. All work must be performed exclusively after normal business hours, between 6:00 pm and 5:00 am, to minimize operational disruptions. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for April 5, 2018, at 10:00 AM, and interested bidders are required to attend to fully understand the project scope. The bid submission deadline is April 20, 2018, at 3:00 PM CDT, with a project completion date set for July 11, 2018, which includes 15 days allocated for submittals. Potential bidders must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full solicitation documents and must provide a bid bond or equivalent financial instrument equal to 5% of the bid amount.

The solicitation encourages participation from minority-owned and women-owned businesses, with specific participation goals of 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE). Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (SDVEs) are also encouraged to participate in the project. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage requirements for Cole County, Missouri, and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000/$3,000,000), automobile liability ($500,000/$3,000,000), and workers' compensation insurance. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who meets all mandatory specifications and requirements. Upon award, the successful contractor must furnish a performance and payment bond for 100% of the contract price. Liquidated damages of $500 per day will be assessed for late completion, and the contractor is responsible for quality management oversight, with MoDOT conducting specific hold-point inspections at critical project stages. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated in the documents, the project involves a comprehensive interior drainage system replacement that will require significant technical expertise and infrastructure modification.
