The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northwest District is seeking bids for 2,150 tons of Grade 1 aggregate through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with the solicitation number IFB605NW18000315. The procurement is specific to the Texas County jurisdiction, with aggregate to be delivered to the MoDOT lot located at 800 E 2nd St. in Grant City, Missouri, or available for MoDOT pickup within a 50-mile radius of the Grant City lot. The bid solicitation opened on August 8, 2017, and closed on August 18, 2017, at 3:00 PM CDT, with a required completion delivery date of September 14, 2017. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full terms and conditions and submit bids. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidder, with pricing required for both delivery to the Grant City lot and plant pickup options. Evaluation criteria include compliance with specifications, pricing, and timely delivery, with liquidated damages of $250 per day per item assessed for late deliveries.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) with a 10% participation goal and Women Business Enterprises (WBE) with a 5% participation goal. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation is also encouraged. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability insurance with the same limits, and workers' compensation insurance. Payment terms are net 45 days, and the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) is exempt from Missouri Sales Tax, Missouri Use Tax, and Federal Excise Tax. The state reserves the right to purchase using the state purchasing card. Deliveries are restricted to normal business hours, with no deliveries permitted 30 minutes before sundown or during weekends and holidays without specific authorization. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation allows for cooperative purchasing by other Missouri jurisdictions, potentially expanding the contract's value and scope.
