Doniphan, Ellington and Marble Hill Mechanics and Cold Storage Buildings

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking bids for the construction of mechanics and cold storage buildings in three locations: Doniphan, Ellington, and Marble Hill. This Invitation for Bid (IFB605CO19001340) covers the construction of three identical 129'-0" wide x 50'-0" x 16'-4" buildings with 2 x 6 wood exterior walls on concrete foundations. Each building will include metal roof and wall panels, wood trusses, finished offices, ADA restrooms, casework, HVAC, plumbing, carbon monoxide systems, electrical work, and incidental site work. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on January 8, 2019, at the Ellington Maintenance Complex, with bids due by January 24, 2019, at 2:00 PM CST. The project allows for item-by-item bidding, meaning vendors can bid on individual locations or all three. Completion dates are staggered based on the number of locations awarded: a single location must be completed by July 31, 2019, two locations by July 31 and August 30, 2019, and all three locations by July 31 (Ellington), August 30 (Doniphan), and September 27, 2019 (Marble Hill).

The project encourages 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation. Bidders must submit a bid bond, certified check, cashier's check, or bank money order for 5% of the bid amount for bids exceeding $49,999.99, with the successful bidder required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond. Prevailing wage requirements apply according to Annual Wage Order #25, with specific rates for Reynolds County (Ellington), Ripley County (Doniphan), and Bollinger County (Marble Hill). Contractors must comply with Missouri's E-Verify program and provide proof of lawful employment practices. Liquidated damages of $700 per day will be assessed for late completion. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability, and workers' compensation. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and most responsive bidder that meets all mandatory specifications and requirements.
