Emergency Traffic Control

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) St. Louis District is seeking sealed bids for emergency traffic control services to narrow Bridge AH over I-44 in St. Clair, Franklin County, Missouri. The procurement, identified by solicitation number IFB605SL21000614, requires vendors to provide comprehensive traffic control measures in accordance with a specified traffic control layout and TA-12 guidance. Bidders must submit pricing on monthly, weekly, and daily rates, with the lowest bidder being evaluated solely on the monthly rate. MoDOT estimates the traffic control services will be needed for approximately eight months starting in November, though this duration is not guaranteed. Vendors must comply with specific requirements, including providing appropriate personal protective equipment, maintaining insurance coverage (general liability of $500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence and automobile liability with similar limits), and adhering to OSHA safety standards. The bid submission period runs from October 15, 2020, to October 29, 2020, at 11:00 AM CDT, with bids to be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or via hard copy.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also encouraged to participate, with potential price preferences available. Vendors must disclose any non-domestic products and comply with domestic product requirements. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bidder who meets all mandatory specifications and requirements, with payment terms of Net 30 Days and FOB Destination shipping. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the estimated eight-month duration suggests a potentially significant contract value. The procurement allows for flexible participation through various arrangements such as subcontractors, suppliers, and joint ventures. All bidders must demonstrate compliance with state and federal employment laws, including the E-Verify program, and provide proof of lawful employment practices.
