KC District Odessa Maintenance Complex Sewer Connection Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified vendor to execute the KC District Odessa Maintenance Complex Sewer Connection Project, located at 7353 Outer Road in Odessa, Missouri. The primary procurement involves installing an E|ONE Model DX152 Explosion Proof Grinder Pump Station or an approved equivalent, which includes two 1 Hp motors, a control panel, and pumps rated at 7.8 gpm at 185 ft TDH. The project's specific technical requirements include connecting to an existing oil/water separator, installing approximately 1/3 mile of 2-inch force main with an air release valve, connecting to an existing city of Odessa manhole, and abandoning the current septic system. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 20, 2024, at 10:00 AM CST at the project site, with bid submissions due by April 16, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST. Bids can be submitted electronically through MissouriBUYS or via mail, with the contract requiring completion by December 4, 2024. Evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all technical specifications and requirements.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond or equivalent security, and the successful contractor will be required to furnish a 100% performance and payment bond. The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Annual Wage Order #30 for Lafayette County and requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including $4 million in general liability and automobile liability. Contractors must demonstrate quality management oversight, as MoDOT will conduct specific hold point inspections throughout the project. Liquidated damages of $700 per day will be assessed for late completion, and the contractor must comply with state and federal nondiscrimination laws. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the complexity of the project and technical requirements suggest a significant infrastructure investment by MoDOT for upgrading the Odessa Maintenance Complex's sewer infrastructure.
