Aggregate- 1 1/2" Base

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is soliciting bids for a procurement of 4,500 tons of 1 1/2" Base rock to be delivered to two MoDOT maintenance buildings within the Northwest District, specifically 2,000 tons to a facility in Maryville, MO and 2,500 tons to a facility in Tarkio, MO. The solicitation, identified as IFB605NW20000160, requires vendors to be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system and to include delivery costs in their pricing. Bids will be accepted from July 24, 2019 to August 6, 2019 at 3:00 PM CDT, with delivery requirements specifying a minimum of 500 tons per day and restrictions on delivery times, including no deliveries from 30 minutes before sundown to sunrise or on weekends and holidays without specific authorization. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest and best responsive bid that meets all mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to increase or decrease quantities as needed. Vendors must provide detailed delivery tickets, comply with Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, and submit a 5% bid bond or equivalent financial guarantee.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) with a 10% participation goal and Women Business Enterprises (WBE) with a 5% participation goal, though these are not strict requirements. Service-disabled veteran-owned businesses may also receive preferences. Successful bidders will be required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond and maintain specific insurance coverages, including commercial general liability insurance of at least $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence, as well as automobile liability insurance with similar coverage limits. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly identified, the procurement process allows for electronic submission through MissouriBUYS or hard copy submissions. The contract will be subject to all applicable Missouri statutes and executive orders, with payment terms to be specified by the vendor and the State of Missouri potentially utilizing a state purchasing card for transactions. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the total procurement value will be based on the per-ton pricing for the 4,500 tons of base rock.
