Indeck Sealcoating Trailer

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is soliciting bids for an Invitation for Bid (IFB605NE24002423) to procure a single Indeck Sealcoating Trailer for its Hannibal, Missouri district headquarters. The procurement specifically requests a Seal-Rite SR-550 Trailer or an approved equivalent that meets detailed technical specifications. The trailer must include a 550-gallon steel tank with 7 gauge heads and 10 gauge sidewalls, a 2 5/16" Bulldog hitch with 12,500 lb. capacity, a 30-gallon air compressor with electric start, a hydraulic agitation system, two 6,000 lb. axles with electric brakes, and various additional required components. The solicitation's bid period runs from May 30, 2024, to June 26, 2024, at 1:00 PM CDT, with bids to be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. The contract will be awarded on an "All or Nothing" basis to the lowest and best responsive bidder, with delivery to be coordinated at least two business days in advance and requiring a MoDOT representative to be present.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVEs) are also eligible for preference. Since the procurement exceeds $25,000, the Buy American Act applies, offering a 10% price preference for American-made products. Vendors must maintain adequate liability insurance naming the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT as additional insureds. The contract includes provisions for liquidated damages of $250 per day per item for late delivery, with payment terms of Net 30 days after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive specifications and detailed requirements suggest this is a significant equipment procurement for the MoDOT Northeast District's infrastructure maintenance operations.
