FY26 Type III Movable Barricades

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are soliciting bids through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Type III Movable Barricades to be supplied on an as-needed basis. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide two types of barricades: four-foot wide barricades (Specification MGS-09-01B) and eight-foot wide barricades (Specification MGS-02-11D), with estimated quantities of one unit each for initial award purposes. Both barricade types must be free-standing assemblies consisting of three horizontal panels mounted to support uprights and a portable base, constructed from high-density polyethylene, wood, or other approved materials, and finished with MoDOT Type 4 retroreflective sheeting applied to both sides in reverse image. Manufacturers must provide written certification that barricades comply with MASH Test Level 3 requirements when deployed as standalone devices, with lightweight warning lights, with lightweight substrate signs, or in combination configurations, with labels identifying MASH compliance affixed to the post. Vendors must also provide percent discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for replacement parts for both barricade types. The solicitation opened April 6, 2026, at 9:56 AM Central Time and closes on April 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time. Bids must be submitted electronically through MissouriBUYS MOVERS or by hard copy mail with five business days' advance notice to the buyer of record, Ashten Lorts (ashten.lorts@modot.mo.gov or 573-751-3685); email submissions will not be accepted. Pricing shall be submitted as firm, fixed unit prices with all costs, including freight and delivery, calculated into the unit cost, with awards made to the lowest and best responsive bidder on a single-award basis. The contract period will run from November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2029, with two optional one-year renewal periods at MoDOT's discretion, and the contractor must deliver barricades to various locations throughout the state within thirty calendar days of order receipt.

All vendors must register with MissouriBUYS to be considered for contract award and must complete Exhibits M (Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification) and N (Domestic Products Procurement Act/Buy American Form). Payment terms are Net 45 with FOB shipping terms, and the state reserves the right to purchase using the state purchasing card (VISA). Liquidated damages of $25.00 per day per item will be assessed for late deliveries, not to exceed twenty percent of the total order amount. All materials must comply with Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction and include adequate liability insurance naming MHTC and MoDOT as additional insureds. No specific budget range or award value is identified in the solicitation documents, as awards will be based on firm, fixed unit pricing submitted by qualified vendors.
