I-70 Chain Link Fence Repairs

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking a vendor to perform chain link fence repair services along Interstate 70 in Montgomery and Warren Counties through an Invitation for Quote (IFQ). The project involves comprehensive repairs at five specific project sites, requiring vendors to realign and replace fence infrastructure including posts, top rails, tension wires, and fence fabric. Specific repair requirements vary by site, with work ranging from 50 to 160 linear feet of 5-foot tall fencing, and one site requiring the installation of a new 8-foot gate. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full solicitation details and submit quotes. The solicitation was issued on March 7, 2018, with quotes due by March 21, 2018 at 2:00 PM CDT. While site visits are not mandatory, contractors are strongly encouraged to inspect locations prior to submitting quotes. The contract will be awarded on an "All or Nothing" basis, with the lowest and best quote that complies with mandatory specifications receiving the award.

The IFQ encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with a goal of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also encouraged to participate. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence for general and automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance. The contractor will be responsible for providing appropriate personal protective equipment and complying with Missouri's construction safety program requirements. No additional fees will be accepted beyond the total lump sum quote, which must cover all materials, labor, and mobilization costs for each project site. Separate purchase orders will be issued for each of the five project sites, with payment made upon successful completion of work at each location. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the project involves multiple sites with varying repair scopes across approximately 430 linear feet of fencing.
