Electrification Improvement Harry S Truman State Park-Devil's Backbone

The State of Missouri's Facilities Management, Design & Construction (FMDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Electrification Improvement project at Harry S Truman State Park-Devil's Backbone, located in Bates County. The project involves comprehensive electrical infrastructure upgrades for the park's existing campsite areas, specifically focused on installing new 50A electrical pedestals, setting new service disconnects and panels, and implementing underground electrical wiring. The work will require trenching around campsites and boring new conductors beneath existing camp roads. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site tour is scheduled for October 12, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. at the park office located at 28761 State Park Rd. West in Warsaw, Missouri. The solicitation is open from September 16, 2022, to October 27, 2022, with electronic bid submissions required through the MissouriBUYS system. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond or cashier's check, and all bid documents must be submitted electronically by 1:30 PM CDT on the closing date.

The solicitation includes specific diversity participation goals, requiring 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 10% Women Business Enterprise (WBE), and 3% Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation. Only MBE/WBE firms certified by a Missouri public entity as of the bid opening date, or SDVEs meeting state requirements, can be used to satisfy these participation goals. Bid documents are available electronically at no cost or in paper format for a $30 refundable deposit through American Document Solutions, with prime contractors allowed up to two sets at the deposit rate. While the exact contract value is not specified, the project represents a significant electrical infrastructure improvement for the state park.
