Brush Grapple

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking to procure a single Brush Grapple for delivery to its Palmyra, Missouri facility through an Invitation for Quote (IFQ) numbered IFQ605NE24000398. The specific equipment must be compatible with a Case 590SN backhoe, featuring a front loader bucket quick coupler manufactured by Paladin, with precise specifications including a 90-inch width, 8 teeth with 11-inch tooth spacing, and a total weight of 2,265 pounds. The procurement follows an "All or Nothing" award basis, with complete delivery required after receiving a purchase order or notice to proceed. The solicitation period runs from August 25, 2023, to September 13, 2023, at 1:00:00 PM CDT, with vendors required to submit quotes electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. Pricing must include all delivery costs (FOB Destination), and the selected vendor must provide a specification sheet detailing the proposed equipment, with alternates permitted if they meet or exceed the Rockland BHG Brush Handling Grapple specifications.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also encouraged to participate, with potential preference considerations. Vendors must provide advance delivery notification at least two business days before delivery, and a MoDOT representative must be present during the delivery process. Payment terms are net 30 days, with full payment issued after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice, and no partial payments will be permitted. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation indicates the equipment must be new and of current production. Although a precise award value is not explicitly stated, the documentation suggests this is a single-unit procurement with all associated delivery and specification requirements clearly outlined, targeting local government infrastructure and maintenance needs.
