Aggregate (Plant Pick-up)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Central District is seeking to establish a multiple-award price agreement for plant/quarry pickup of various aggregate materials from February 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, with three one-year renewal options. This Invitation for Bid (IFB605CD23001617) specifically solicits bids for aggregate material pickup services, with MoDOT staff and trucks collecting materials directly from vendor quarries on an as-needed basis. The procurement is exclusively for pickup pricing, not delivery, and vendors will be selected based on multiple evaluation criteria including cost, availability, and proximity to project locations. Pricing must be submitted via spreadsheet format, with per-ton pricing required for most aggregate materials and load-based pricing permitted for sand. The bid response period runs from January 10, 2023 to January 26, 2023 at 2:00 PM CST, with bids to be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS system. Key objectives include establishing a flexible, responsive sourcing mechanism for aggregate materials that allows MoDOT to efficiently secure materials across the Central District region.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Additionally, Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses and domestic product providers are given preference in the evaluation process. The contract includes cooperative purchasing provisions, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the price agreement. Vendors must comply with the Domestic Products Procurement Act and the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act, and are required to identify any goods or products not manufactured in the United States. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the contract allows for pricing adjustments for new quarries established during the agreement period and provides mechanisms for vendors to request price increases with proper justification. The multiple-award structure suggests MoDOT anticipates establishing agreements with several aggregate material providers to ensure geographic coverage and supply chain resilience across the Central District.
