Concordia Truck Wash Fire Restoration

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for fire restoration and remediation work at the Concordia Truck Wash facility located in Jasper County. The comprehensive scope of work includes cleaning, priming, and painting interior CMU walls; resealing concrete floors; and replacing numerous fire-damaged components such as stainless steel pedestrian doors, coil doors, LED lighting fixtures, car wash equipment, exhaust fans, ceiling panels, exterior metal panels, tube heaters, insulation, roofing, and electrical systems. Additional requirements include potential truss repairs, cleaning smoke-covered surfaces in adjacent bays, and servicing the pit drain and oil water separator. The bid opening is scheduled for February 19, 2019 at 2:00 PM CST, with a project completion deadline of May 15, 2019. Interested contractors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system and can schedule site visits by contacting MoDOT representatives Mike Roberts or Doug Young. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing to be submitted as a lump sum that includes all necessary permits and licenses.

The solicitation 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. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements for Lafayette County, as the project value exceeds $75,000. A bid bond or equivalent of 5% of the bid amount is required, and the successful bidder must provide a 100% performance and payment bond. Liquidated damages of $500 per day will be assessed for late completion. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including general liability ($3M), automobile liability ($3M), and workers compensation. The project requires quality management oversight by the contractor, with MoDOT conducting hold point inspections at key milestones. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive restoration work suggests a significant investment in repairing and upgrading the truck wash facility.
