KC District Chiller/Chiller Tower/Boiler Replacement

The Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission (MHTC), through the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), is soliciting bids for a comprehensive mechanical system replacement project at the Kansas City District Administration Building located at 600 Northeast Colbern Road, Lee's Summit, MO. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the removal and replacement of chillers, cooling towers, and potentially boilers under an alternate bid. The primary scope includes modifications to the building's chilled water, condenser water, heating water distribution systems, electrical systems, and direct digital control systems. Key deliverables include complete system replacement with full installation and integration of new mechanical infrastructure. A pre-bid meeting was scheduled for August 13, 2019, at 10:00 AM, with bid responses due by August 29, 2019, at 2:00 PM CDT. The base project must be completed by April 1, 2020, with the alternate boiler work to be completed by June 26, 2020. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond and will be evaluated based on being the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business participation is also noted. The successful contractor must provide a 100% performance and payment bond and carry specific insurance coverages, including $500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence for general and automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance. Prevailing wage requirements apply per Annual Wage Order #26 for Jackson County, and contractors must comply with Missouri's worker authorization program. Liquidated damages of $1,000 per day will be assessed for late completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the mechanical system replacement suggests a significant capital investment. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with payment terms of net 30 days and the State of Missouri being tax-exempt.
