Aggregate

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the Northwest District, is seeking to procure 2,850 tons of Grade 1 aggregate (1/2" coarse aggregate) through an Invitation for Bid (IFBR18000256) for its Bethany, Missouri location. The procurement provides two delivery options: direct delivery to the MoDOT lot at 3101 Miller Street, Bethany, MO 64424, or plant pickup within a 50-mile radius of the Bethany lot. The bid solicitation opened on August 2, 2017, and will close on August 16, 2017, at 11:00:00 AM CDT, with all material delivery required to be completed by September 6, 2017. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or via hard copy. The aggregate must comply with the 2017 Edition of Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, and vendors are required to provide detailed delivery tickets with specifics including gross/tare weights, vehicle identification, date/time, purchase order number, and unique ticket number. Deliveries are restricted and not permitted 30 minutes before sundown to sunrise or on weekends/holidays without specific authorization.

The solicitation encourages, but does not mandate, 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Successful contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability insurance with the same limits, and Missouri State Workers' Compensation coverage. Payment terms are Net 45 Days, with pricing to be provided for both delivery to the Bethany location and plant pickup options. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bid that complies with all mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to accept or reject any bids. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the total procurement value is approximately equivalent to the cost of 2,850 tons of Grade 1 aggregate, with pricing to include all freight, handling, and shipping charges. Liquidated damages may be assessed for late deliveries, though the specific per-day rate is not detailed in the documentation.
