Abandoned Well-Cisterns and Septic Tank Closure

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking quotes for the closure of one abandoned septic tank and two abandoned cistern type wells located in the MoDOT right-of-way along Highway J near Goldsberry, Missouri. The project involves three specific locations: a 4-foot deep by 4-foot diameter structure 415 feet east of Route 149, an 18-foot deep by 3-foot diameter structure 3,120 feet east, and a 12-foot deep by 2-foot diameter structure 3.6 miles east. The scope of work requires the vendor to collapse each structure, break down sides three feet below grade, and fill the remaining voids with crushed stone to surface grade. Vendors are encouraged but not required to conduct a site visit prior to submitting a quote, with site visits scheduled through the New Cambria Maintenance Building Supervisor or West Area Maintenance Superintendent. The quote submission period runs from March 3, 2023, to March 29, 2023, with quotes to be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. The contract will be awarded on an "All or Nothing" basis to the lowest and best quote, with the successful vendor responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, and traffic control necessary to complete the project.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises (SDVE) are also eligible for preference. Vendors must comply with various state requirements, including enrollment in the E-Verify program and adherence to construction safety standards. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000/$4,000,000), automobile liability ($500,000/$4,000,000), and workers' compensation with $1,000,000 employer's liability insurance. Payment will be made in full after project completion and receipt of a correct invoice, with no partial payments permitted. While no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the project is structured as a lump sum contract that includes all work, labor, materials, equipment, and mobilization costs. The successful vendor will be responsible for implementing traffic control measures, including westbound lane closures during work at each location, and must complete the project according to MoDOT's specifications and regulatory requirements.
