KC Scout - Air Filters (Pleated)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking competitive bids for pleated air filters through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered IFB605KC19002278. The procurement is specifically for five specific air filter sizes: 10x16x1 ZL Pleat, 12x12x1 HV Pleat, 12x16x1 ZL Pleat, 6x16x1 ZL Pleat, and 16x25x2 HV Pleat, which must meet or exceed Glasfloss Z-Line Series specifications. All filters must be new and of current production, with delivery terms set as FOB Destination with freight prepaid and allowed. The bid period runs from April 8, 2019, to April 18, 2019, with bids due by 11:00 AM CDT on the closing date. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest and best bid that meets all mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to increase or decrease quantities as needed. The initial contract period extends from the notice of award through April 30, 2020, with options for three additional one-year renewals.

MoDOT encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses are also encouraged to participate. All vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to review complete terms and conditions and submit bids, which can be done either electronically through the system or via hard copy to the specified contact address. Payment terms are set at Net 30 days, with a single invoice requested upon completion of all deliveries and receipt of a correct invoice. Vendors are required to specify maximum percentage increases for potential contract renewals, which will be subject to MoDOT's review and approval. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated in the documents, the solicitation allows for cooperative purchasing options that could potentially extend to Missouri counties, cities, and special road districts, though MoDOT will not be responsible for purchase orders, delivery acceptance, or payments for these additional entities.
