Diamond Saw Blades

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the Southwest District, is seeking competitive bids for diamond saw blades through Invitation for Quote (IFQ) #IFQ605SW21000471. The procurement targets various diamond saw blade sizes for cutting asphalt, concrete, and multi-surface applications, with specific blade diameters of 36" and 48" and thicknesses ranging from 0.187" to 0.375". Each blade size within designated groups will be awarded to the lowest bidder, though an award does not guarantee purchase. Purchases will be made on an "as needed/if needed" basis from the award notification through August 31, 2021. The solicitation requires vendors to provide detailed product specifications, confirming their blades meet MoDOT's technical requirements. Responses are due by September 28, 2020, at 2:00 PM CST, with pricing required to remain firm from the award date through October 31, 2021. The evaluation will focus on lowest responsive and responsible bidders meeting all mandatory specifications and requirements.

The procurement 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. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also given preference. The solicitation includes a cooperative purchasing provision, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially purchase from the resulting contract, though MoDOT will not be responsible for those specific transactions. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated, the contract allows for flexible purchasing throughout the Southwest District. All materials and supplies must comply with MoDOT General Services Specification MGS-90-01 and current Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. Vendors must submit quotes electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy, with all equipment being new and of current production. Payment terms are set at Net 30 upon receipt of a correct invoice.
