KC District Fuel Pump and Tank Purchase and Delivery

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District has issued an Invitation for Quote (IFQ605KC19000161) for the purchase and delivery of a fuel pump and tank for the Odessa Maintenance Facility in Jasper County. Specifically, the solicitation requests one high-flow 22 GPM diesel pump with a mechanical register and associated components, though MoDOT notes they will only be purchasing the fuel pump. The delivery location is 7352 Outer Road, Odessa, MO 64076, with precise requirements including detailed technical specifications for the pump's flow rate, motor, filter, and discharge characteristics. The bid period runs from July 23, 2018, at 3:00 PM CDT to July 27, 2018, at 11:00 AM CDT, with quotes remaining valid for 90 days from the end date. Evaluation criteria include pricing, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest and best bid that meets all mandatory specifications. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS system to participate, and bids can be submitted electronically through the system or via hard copy. Delivery requirements include providing at least one business day's advance notice and having a MoDOT representative present during delivery.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVEs) are also eligible for preference in the evaluation process. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability with the same limits, and Missouri State Workers Compensation coverage. The contract requires all equipment to be new, of current production, and carry a 12-month parts and labor warranty. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the solicitation includes standard pricing terms of FOB destination with Net 30 payment terms. The contractor will be responsible for preventing spills during product transfer and must comply with state and federal regulations for any potential cleanup. No incumbent vendor is identified in the documentation, and the procurement appears to be a one-time purchase to replace or upgrade existing fuel handling equipment at the maintenance facility.
