The State of Missouri's Office of Administration - Facilities Management, Design and Construction (OA-FMDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Foundation Stabilization project at the Bollinger Mill State Historic Site, located in Cape Girardeau County. The procurement seeks a contractor to restore selected portions of the Bollinger Mill building and associated retaining walls, both upstream and downstream, while explicitly excluding work on the existing dam and covered bridge. The project involves critical foundation stabilization and restoration work to preserve this historic structure. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit is scheduled for January 11, 2021, at the Trail of Tears State Park Visitor Center in Jackson, Missouri. Interested bidders must submit their electronic bids through the MissouriBUYS system by February 4, 2021, at 1:30 PM CST, accompanied by a 5% bid bond or cashier's check. Bidders are required to complete and submit various forms, including the Bid Form, Unit Prices Form, Proposed Subcontractors Form, and various compliance documentation.

The solicitation includes specific diversity participation goals, requiring 10% participation for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), 10% for Women Business Enterprises (WBE), and 3% for Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE). Only MBE/WBE firms certified by a Missouri public entity and SDVEs meeting state requirements can be used to satisfy these participation goals. The project has a comprehensive estimated cost range between $2,110,000 and $2,900,000, with funding provided directly by the State of Missouri. Electronic bid sets are available at no cost, while paper bid sets can be obtained for a refundable $100 deposit through American Document Solutions. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with payment terms specified by the vendor. Prime contractors are permitted two bid sets at the deposit rate, and the opportunity is open to all vendors capable of meeting the project's specific requirements and documentation standards.
