The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), Southeast District is seeking qualified vendors to supply two Limb Beaver skid steer brush cutter attachments through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation. The procurement specifically requires one 72-inch high flow attachment compatible with a John Deere 333G skid steer (40 GPM capacity) and another attachment for a Bobcat T320 skid steer. The attachments will be delivered to two separate MoDOT facilities: one to the West Plains location and the other to the Puxico location. The bid solicitation (IFB605SE24001386) is open from January 17, 2024, to January 31, 2024, with bids due by 2:00 PM CST on January 31, 2024. Vendors must be authorized dealers and submit their bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. The contract period will run from the notice of award through January 30, 2025, with delivery terms specified as Free On Board (FOB) Destination and payment terms set at Net 30 days.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with a goal of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through various arrangements such as subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. The procurement includes provisions for the Domestic Products Procurement Act, which provides a 10% price preference for goods manufactured or produced in the United States for purchases over $25,000. The contract also includes cooperative purchasing provisions, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially purchase from the resulting contract, though MoDOT will not be responsible for those specific orders. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the solicitation allows for potential additional orders throughout the contract period beyond the initial two-unit purchase. Vendors must also comply with additional requirements, including the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act for contracts over $100,000, and submit completed certification forms demonstrating compliance with various procurement regulations.
