The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southwest District is seeking bids for corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and polypropylene pipe for various locations in the Southeast Area, covering Ralls County and other nearby maintenance facilities. The procurement solicitation (IFB605SW21000743) requests pipe sizes ranging from 15" to 60" in diameter, with specific quantities and lengths detailed for maintenance locations in Bradleyville, Branson, Marshfield, Ozark, and Seymour. Bidders must provide pipes with precise specifications, including gauge requirements and necessary couplers to join pipe pieces. The bid will be awarded group by group, with only one type of pipe (CMP or polypropylene) per location being awarded, with the exception of arched CMP. The solicitation period runs from November 5, 2020 to November 16, 2020 at 11:00 AM CST, with delivery required Monday through Friday between 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM local time and 24-hour advance notice.

The Missouri Department of Transportation strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), setting goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. While no specific incumbent vendors are identified, the solicitation allows for both electronic and hard copy bid submissions through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days after receipt of a correct invoice, with all pricing to include packing, handling, and shipping charges on a free on board (FOB) destination basis. The bid allows vendors to submit alternative proposals and propose price discounts for prompt payment. Although no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the detailed specifications and multiple maintenance locations suggest a substantial procurement opportunity for pipe suppliers. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also encouraged to participate in this state contracting opportunity.
