Geotextile Material

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) St. Louis District is seeking sealed bids for high-tenacity monofilament polypropylene geotextile material, specifically the Mirafi HP370 product or a functionally equivalent alternative. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with solicitation number IFB605SL22001111, targeting vendors capable of supplying geotextile material with specific technical requirements, including being inert to biological gradation and available in roll sizes of 180" W x 300' L. The contract period will run from the date of award through December 31, 2022, with options to extend for two additional one-year periods at MoDOT's sole discretion. Bids are due by January 24, 2022, at 10:00 AM Central Standard Time, with delivery terms specified as free on board (FOB) destination and payment terms set at net 30 days. The evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest and best responsive bidder who meets all mandatory specifications and requirements. Vendors must submit pricing electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System, with potential allowances for hard copy submissions with prior buyer approval.

The solicitation 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 procurement includes provisions for Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation and incorporates the Domestic Products Procurement Act, which offers a 10% price preference for American-made products on purchases over $25,000. Cooperative purchasing provisions are included, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially purchase from the resulting contract under the same terms and conditions. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the as-needed procurement model suggests flexibility in potential order volumes. The solicitation allows vendors to propose maximum percentage increases for potential renewal periods, which will be considered during contract administration. Bidders must be registered with MissouriBUYS and capable of meeting the detailed technical specifications for the geotextile material.
