Iberia Working Bays/Cold Storage Building

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking bids for the construction of the Iberia Working Bays/Cold Storage Building located at 790 East Highway 42, Iberia, MO 65486. The project involves constructing a 103'-8" x 60' deep x 16'-4" eave height structure with specific requirements including insulated 6" wood exterior stud walls on concrete foundation walls, a concrete floor slab, wood trusses, metal siding and roof, finished office space, restroom, plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and incidental site work. The solicitation includes a base bid for three rooms (Room 101 with 3 working bays, Room 103, and Room 104) and three alternate bids that allow for adding additional cold storage bays. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for February 13, 2018, at 10:00 am, and the final bid submission deadline was April 6, 2018, at 3:00 pm CDT. The project completion date is set for September 21, 2018, with liquidated damages of $700 per day assessed for late completion. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and will be evaluated based on being the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The procurement encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or other arrangements. All vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System to access full solicitation details and submit proposals. The successful contractor will be required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond and maintain specific insurance coverage, including $500,000/$3,000,000 in commercial general liability and automobile liability, as well as workers' compensation coverage. The contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements for Miller County, and bidders must comply with all Missouri statutory regulations. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant capital investment for the construction of a multi-bay working and cold storage facility. The project is funded by the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and will be awarded to the contractor meeting all mandatory specifications and requirements.
