Flatliner Planer Attachment

The Missouri Department of Transportation Northwest District is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for one unit of a Flatliner Skid Steer Attachment, model FL48 equipped with PCD Diamond Bits, designated for the Northwest District Maintenance Division. The FL48 attachment is a specialized grinding and pavement treatment device featuring a grinding width of 0-49 inches, grinding depth of 0-1.5 inches, a 70 hydraulic horsepower requirement, and an operating weight of 3,400 pounds. The equipment utilizes Keystone Engineering's proprietary Flat Tooth Cutting Technology to level pavement irregularities, remove coatings and markings, and improve ride quality on roadways. Keystone Engineering has been determined as the single feasible source provider based on the district's prior successful experience with this specific equipment and its unique technical capabilities that meet the district's operational requirements. The solicitation opened on November 5, 2025, at 11:00 PM Coordinated Universal Time and closes on November 13, 2025, at 11:00 PM, with no pre-bid conference or facility tour scheduled. The equipment has an 8-week delivery lead time after receipt of order, and the resulting contract will be a Blanket Purchase Agreement effective from the Notice of Contract Award through November 30, 2026, with payment terms of Net 45 and FOB freight delivery terms.

Prospective vendors may challenge the SFS determination by submitting a response with a price of $0.00 and documentation demonstrating their ability to provide an equal or superior planer attachment meeting the specified requirements. All responses must be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system, and vendors are required to register with MissouriBUYS prior to bid submission. The Buy American Act certification (Exhibit N) is mandatory for this commodity procurement exceeding $25,000, requiring bidders to certify the point of manufacture for products and demonstrate compliance with domestic products preference requirements under Missouri Revised Statutes sections 34.350-34.359. The contractor must maintain liability insurance with MoDOT listed as an additional insured, provide planned delivery schedules at least two business days in advance, and ensure a MoDOT representative is present during all deliveries. MoDOT reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities ordered at the unit price bid and may cancel the contract at any time for material breach or for convenience. No specific pricing information or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents, and no incumbent contractor information is provided as this is a single-source designation for equipment meeting established district specifications.
