FY27 CD Fayette Storage Bay Project

Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is requesting bids to construct a storage bay facility in Fayette, Missouri under IFB 0000000361SL, with bids due September 1, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time and mandatory pre-bid conference attendance on August 19, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the project site (871 State Highway 240, Fayette, MO 65248) — failure to attend the pre-bid meeting disqualifies bids from acceptance.

The scope comprises construction of a 50 feet deep by 24 feet wide storage structure with 2 x 8 exterior perimeter wood stud walls on concrete foundation and footings, 8-inch concrete floor slab, wood trusses, 26-gauge metal wall and roof panels, plywood ceiling and interior liner panels, insulation, plumbing, electrical work, and incidental site work. The geotechnical investigation establishes a net allowable bearing capacity of 2,000 pounds per square foot, with detailed foundation, compaction, drainage, and material specifications documented across 16 specification divisions. The contractor must employ a registered Missouri Land Surveyor to verify setbacks, easements, and drawing dimensions. Contract completion is March 19, 2027. All work is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Missouri Annual Wage Order #33 for Howard County. The contractor must perform a minimum of 10 percent of the work with its own forces.

Bidding is structured as lump-sum with a 5 percent bid guaranty required; the successful bidder must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price within 15 calendar days of award. Insurance requirements include general liability and business automobile liability of not less than $600,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 aggregate, and Missouri workers' compensation with $1,000,000 employer's liability. Liquidated damages are $700 per day per item for delays. The contractor must ensure OSHA 10-hour construction safety program certification for all on-site employees, E-Verify enrollment, and proof of lawful presence for sole proprietors and partners. Written questions are due August 21, 2026. MoDOT will not provide daily inspection; the contractor must supply on-site quality management oversight. Responses are submitted electronically via MissouriBUYS or by hard copy mail, UPS, or FedEx; hard copy bidders must notify Logan Wilbers at logan.wilbers@modot.mo.gov five business days before closing.
