Aggregate (Plant Pick-up)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southwest District is seeking to establish a price agreement with multiple vendors for the plant/quarry pickup of various aggregate materials. This Invitation for Bid (IFB605SW22000899) covers the pickup of aggregate materials from various quarries by MoDOT SW staff and trucks on an "as needed/if needed" basis from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, with three one-year renewal options. The bid is specifically for pickup price only, not delivery, though vendors may indicate delivery capabilities. When materials are needed, MoDOT SW will choose vendors based on factors including cost, availability, and project proximity to the plant location. Pricing must be submitted per ton for aggregate materials, with sand potentially priced by load. The bid response period runs from November 17, 2021, to December 15, 2021, at 5:00 PM CST, with vendors required to submit pricing via a provided spreadsheet. Pricing is to remain firm for the contract period, with exceptions allowed for new quarry establishments during the agreement.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Vendors must be registered with MissouriBUYS, the state's eProcurement system, and for contracts over $100,000, must certify compliance with the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act. The contract includes domestic product preferences, with a potential 10% preference for American-made goods. Cooperative purchasing is available for Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities, though MoDOT will not be directly responsible for those transactions. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the multiple-award approach suggests MoDOT intends to establish a diverse pool of aggregate material suppliers. The solicitation does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but the contract's structure indicates it is designed to provide flexibility in procurement of aggregate materials across the Southwest District throughout the 2022 calendar year.
