Fleet Lighting and Accessories

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking vendors to supply fleet lighting and accessories through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered IFB605KC21000921. The procurement focuses on emergency vehicle equipment, specifically including products from Federal Signal and Jotto, such as lightbars, LED worklights, message boards, speakers, mounting brackets, and related accessories. Vendors must provide detailed pricing for 40 different line items of emergency vehicle equipment, with quantities to be determined based on agency needs. The solicitation will be awarded on a firm fixed pricing "low bid" basis, with all delivery costs included in unit prices. Bids must be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or by hard copy between December 11, 2020, at 2:00 PM GMT and December 29, 2020, at 8:00 PM GMT. The initial contract period runs from the award date through December 31, 2021, with two optional annual renewals. Evaluation criteria include lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all mandatory specifications, with pricing to be assessed at the maximum potential financial liability to MoDOT.

The solicitation strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) enterprises are also welcome to participate. To be eligible, vendors must be located within a 50-mile radius of the Kansas City District Garage Facility in Lee's Summit, Missouri. No alternative brands to those specified in the item specifications will be accepted. The procurement allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the contract pricing. While a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates the contract will be awarded on an as-needed, if-needed basis. Payment terms are set at net 30 days, with a single full invoice to be submitted upon completion of all deliveries, and MoDOT reserves the right to use state purchasing cards for transactions.
