Construct New Columbarium Wall - Higginsville Veterans Cemetery

The State of Missouri's Office of Administration, Facilities Management, Design & Construction (OA-FMDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the construction of new columbarium walls at the Higginsville Veterans Cemetery located in Jasper County. The solicitation, identified as U2406-01, seeks a contractor to construct new columbarium walls in an undeveloped area of the existing cemetery. The project requires comprehensive construction services with specific emphasis on creating new memorial infrastructure for veterans. The solicitation opened on June 10, 2024, at 10:00 AM CDT and will remain open until July 23, 2024, at 1:30 PM CDT, during which time vendors must electronically submit their responses through the MissouriBUYS system. Potential bidders are required to review all solicitation documents, including four addenda, and accept the terms before submission. The point of contact for this procurement is Paul M. Girouard, who can be reached at (573) 751-4797 or paul.girouard@oa.mo.gov. Vendors must ensure they thoroughly understand the project requirements and submit a complete electronic response through the designated system.

While the solicitation documents include an MBE/WBE/SDVE Directory, suggesting potential participation goals for minority, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran enterprises, no specific set-aside percentages or restrictions are explicitly detailed. The procurement appears open to all vendors without significant limitations on company size or type. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no references to existing infrastructure requiring specific integration. The estimated total contract value remains unspecified, and payment terms are listed as unspecified. The delivery terms are noted as "Not Applicable," which is typical for construction projects. The solicitation does not provide line-item pricing details, indicating this may be a lump-sum bid opportunity. Vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive construction services for the columbarium wall project, with all technical and specification details to be reviewed in the full solicitation documents available through the MissouriBUYS system.
