The State of Missouri's Facilities Management, Design & Construction (FMDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the construction of a new 60-soldier barracks at the Wappapello Training Site located in Texas County. The project, designated as T2124-01, encompasses the construction of the barracks facility and associated site development work, with a comprehensive scope that includes complete building construction and site infrastructure improvements. The solicitation was released on August 5, 2022, with a bid submission deadline of August 25, 2022, at 1:30 PM CDT. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site tour is scheduled for August 10, 2022, at the Wappapello Training Site, with photo identification required for facility access. Bidders must submit all documentation electronically through the MissouriBUYS system, including a comprehensive set of forms such as the Bid Form, Unit Prices Form, Proposed Subcontractors Form, Affidavit of Work Authorization, and various compliance documents. All bidders are required to provide a 5% bid bond or cashier's check with their submission, and electronic bid sets are available at no cost, with paper sets obtainable for a $100 refundable deposit.

The solicitation includes specific diversity participation goals, requiring bidders to meet targeted percentages for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) at 10%, Women Business Enterprises (WBE) at 10%, and Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE) at 3%. These set-aside designations aim to promote participation from historically underrepresented business categories in the state procurement process. Bidders must demonstrate good faith efforts to engage certified MBE, WBE, and SDVE firms to meet these participation objectives. While the solicitation documents do not specify an estimated total contract value or explicit budget range, the project is funded by the State of Missouri and will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. No information is provided about incumbent contractors or existing infrastructure that might require integration. Interested vendors must carefully review all solicitation documents, complete the required forms, and ensure compliance with the state's procurement guidelines and diversity participation requirements to be considered for the contract.
