Central District California Mechanic Bays and Storage Building Addition Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to construct a three-bay pole barn addition to its California Mechanic Bays and Storage Building located in Montgomery County. The project involves building a 53'-3" wide by 50'-0" deep structure with a 16'-4" eave height on a MoDOT-prepared site. Specific deliverables include providing a 6" compacted crushed rock base inside and 10'-0" outside the building perimeter, electrical work, gutters, downspouts, liner panels, metal siding/roof, and incidental site work. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process, with bids due on April 5, 2023, at 2:00 PM CDT. While no pre-bid conference is scheduled, potential contractors may arrange site visits by contacting Allen Wankum. The project must be completed by August 1, 2023, and will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a comprehensive evaluation of the submitted bids.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Bidders must submit a bid bond or equivalent security representing 5% of the total bid amount, and the successful contractor will be required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond. The contract includes liquidated damages of $300 per day for late completion and requires compliance with prevailing wage rates for Moniteau County. Insurance requirements are substantial, including general liability coverage of $500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability with similar limits, and workers' compensation coverage. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves constructing a significant infrastructure addition, suggesting a substantial investment by MoDOT. The contract will be subject to standard state and federal requirements, including the Domestic Products Procurement Act and provisions related to lawful employment practices.
