KC District Harrisonville Maintenance Complex Force Main Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is soliciting bids for the KC District Harrisonville Maintenance Complex Force Main Project, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative located in Cass County, Missouri. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to install an E|ONE Model DX152 Explosion Proof Grinder Pump Station with associated appurtenances, including a 2-inch force main approximately 2.3 miles in length with ten air release valves. The project requires connecting to an existing City of Harrisonville manhole, abandoning existing septic tanks, and performing necessary site restoration, traffic control, and erosion control. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for June 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM at 27821 S State Highway 7, Harrisonville, MO, and bidders must submit their proposals electronically through MissouriBUYS or via mail by July 24, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT. The project has a specified completion date of April 16, 2025, and requires the successful contractor to self-perform a minimum of 10% of the project work. Evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specified technical and contractual requirements.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% and 5%, respectively. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond or equivalent financial security and will be required to furnish a 100% performance and payment bond upon contract award. The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Annual Wage Order #31 for Cass County, and contractors must comply with Missouri's E-Verify and Drug-Free Workplace requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating general liability coverage of $600,000 per person and $4,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability with similar limits, and workers' compensation coverage with $1,000,000 employer's liability. Liquidated damages of $1,000 per day will be assessed for late completion, underscoring the project's timeline sensitivity and the state's commitment to timely project execution.
