The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to construct a new mechanic bays and cold storage building at its Central District Williamsburg facility. The project involves building a 103'8" wide x 60' deep x 16'4" eave height structure with specific construction requirements, including 2x6 exterior perimeter wood stud walls on concrete foundation and footings, a 6" concrete floor slab, wood trusses, 26 gauge exterior metal wall and roof panels, 29 gauge metal ceiling and interior liner panels, and associated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and site work. The solicitation (IFB605CO22001874) is an Invitation for Bid with electronic and hard copy submission options, with bids due on April 19, 2022 at 2:00 PM CDT. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 5, 2022 at 10:00 AM at 3949 County Road 1005 in Williamsburg, Missouri. The project has a defined completion date of February 1, 2023, which includes 15 days for submittals, and will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on total cost evaluation. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond and will be subject to liquidated damages of $700 per day for late completion.

MoDOT strongly encourages participation from minority-owned and women-owned businesses, with specific goals of 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation. Service-Disabled Veteran Businesses are also encouraged to participate in the bidding process. The contract will be subject to prevailing wage requirements under Annual Wage Order #28 for Callaway County, and contractors must comply with all applicable state and federal regulations, including OSHA safety standards and COVID-19 protocols. The successful bidder will be required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond and maintain specific insurance coverages, including commercial general liability insurance of $3 million and automobile liability insurance of $3 million. Alternative construction methods such as pre-engineered metal buildings or tilt-up concrete may be considered but will only be approved after contract award. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial infrastructure investment for the Central District facility.
