Geotextile Material

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the St. Louis District, is seeking sealed bids for a procurement of high-tenacity monofilament polypropylene geotextile material through Invitation for Bid (IFB605SL22000977). The solicitation targets the procurement of Mirafi HP370 geotextile or a functionally equivalent product that is inert to biological gradation, with specific roll size requirements of 180" W x 300' L. The contract period will extend from the date of award through December 31, 2022, with materials to be provided on an as-needed basis. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System by December 16, 2021 at 4:00 PM GMT. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements, with pricing to be assessed at the maximum potential financial liability to MoDOT. Vendors proposing alternative products must provide detailed specification sheets and product literature demonstrating equivalency to the specified Mirafi HP370 material.

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. The contract includes provisions for cooperative purchasing, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the contract terms. The solicitation applies the Domestic Products Procurement Act, which provides a 10% price preference for American-made products for purchases over $25,000. While no specific contract value is listed, the procurement allows for two potential renewal periods, with vendors required to specify maximum percentage increases for each renewal term. The contract includes standard delivery terms of FOB Destination and Net 30 payment terms, and vendors must comply with all applicable state and federal regulations. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses may receive preference, and the contract will be awarded to the vendor offering the most advantageous pricing and meeting all technical specifications.
