Concrete (Ready-Mix) Annual Price Agreement

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southeast District is seeking to establish an annual price agreement with multiple vendors for ready-mix concrete materials for pavement repairs. The solicitation, identified as IFB605SE19001559, covers concrete procurement from March 1, 2019 through February 28, 2020, with bids due on February 12, 2019 at 10:00 AM CST. The procurement requires Portland Cement concrete with specific mix designs ranging from 5.0 to 9.0 bag mixes, including options for calcium chloride accelerators (1-4%), PCCP High Early mix, fiber reinforcement, and hot water additives. Vendors must provide concrete materials compliant with MoDOT's Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, specifically sections 501 and 613, and deliver within a minimum one-hour timeframe district-wide. Evaluation criteria will focus on availability, cost, distance to repair sites, and ability to meet mandatory specifications. The contract is structured as a multiple-award arrangement, allowing vendors to bid on specific line items without requiring comprehensive bid coverage.

The solicitation strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. The procurement allows for cooperative purchasing by Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities, expanding potential usage beyond MoDOT's immediate needs. Vendors must provide pricing that remains firm throughout the contract period, with potential adjustments considered only with written justification related to economic conditions. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract allows for as-needed, if-needed concrete material purchases with flexible vendor additions throughout the contract period to optimize geographic coverage. Payment terms are established as Net 30 days, with materials priced FOB destination and including delivery charges for standard and extended delivery distances. The solicitation also indicates openness to Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) business participation, though no specific set-aside provisions are detailed.
