Lease Rollers

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking to lease five hydrostatic drive, dual drum rollers with spray systems for its facilities located in New Florence, Memphis, Palmyra (two units), and Shelbina, Missouri. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB605NE21001277) for a five-month lease period from May 3 through September 30, 2021. The required equipment must meet specific technical specifications, including dual drums approximately 66 inches wide, a pressurized spray system with a 150-200 gallon polyethylene tank, in-line cleanable screen filtration, and a minimum of seven brass spray nozzles with 0.075 GPM flow at 10 PSI. The rollers must be comparable to models such as Bomag BW11AS, Case DV209B, or Hamm HD+801VV, and include safety features like long seat belts or factory-approved seat belt extenders. Bids are due by February 19, 2021, at 1:00 PM CST, with the award to be made on an item-by-item basis to the lowest and best bidders. Vendors can bid on any number of the five available units, and the evaluation will consider factors such as equipment specifications, pricing, delivery capabilities, and maintenance requirements.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) owned businesses are also eligible for preferences. The vendor will be responsible for providing full warranty coverage, including replacement and repair parts, labor, and transportation costs for the entire lease period. MoDOT will handle fuel, chassis lubrication, and basic maintenance, while the vendor must manage scheduled maintenance, oil changes, and repairs. A critical performance requirement is the vendor's ability to provide a substitute unit within three days if the primary equipment is unavailable for more than 48 hours, with potential compensation reductions of $250 per day per unit for non-compliance. The maximum damage claim is limited to 75% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive lease terms and detailed equipment specifications suggest a significant investment in temporary equipment for road and infrastructure maintenance during the five-month period.
