Cementech Mixer

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking vendors to supply one Cementech Mixer through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with solicitation number IFB605KC24002093. The procurement is for a specialized concrete mixing vehicle capable of producing up to 60 cubic yards of concrete per hour, with extensive technical specifications including aluminum chutes, automated aggregate gates, a fiber chopper, mixer diaper, strobe lights, an electric motor-operated mesh tarp, a ticket printer, and a water tank insulation package. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System by May 4, 2024, at 1:00 PM CDT, with the contract period running from award through June 15, 2024, and no optional renewals. The solicitation will be awarded on a firm fixed-price, low-bid basis with FOB destination delivery terms, meaning all freight, handling, and delivery costs must be included in the unit price. Vendors are required to provide on-site training and work directly with truck dealers to ensure the mixer meets precise build requirements and specifications.

The IFB strongly encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation is also requested, with bidders invited to list any certified SDVE providers. For purchases over $25,000, the Buy American Act provisions apply, offering a 10% price preference for American-made products. The solicitation includes a cooperative purchasing option, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the contract under the same specifications and pricing structure. Payment terms are set at Net 30 days, with full payment made after completion of all deliveries and receipt of a correct invoice, and no partial payments will be permitted. The State of Missouri reserves the right to purchase goods using the state purchasing card, and while no specific award value is listed, the procurement is funded through state sources.
