Metal Pipe (CMP and Arch Pipe)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is soliciting bids for an Invitation for Bid (IFB605NE21001870) to supply Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) and Arch Pipe for as-needed, if-needed orders to be delivered to any location within the Northeast District. The procurement covers 50 line items of metal pipes ranging from 12" to 84" diameter in various gauges (10-16), including both corrugated metal and arch pipe configurations, along with corresponding coupling bands. The initial contract period will run from May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022, with options for up to four additional one-year renewal periods. Bids were due by April 29, 2021, at 1:00 PM CDT, with delivery required within 30 calendar days after receiving an order. Pricing must be submitted on a per linear foot basis for pipes and per each for bands, with free on board (FOB) destination terms and net 30-day payment conditions. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidder who can meet the detailed specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.

The solicitation strongly 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, or joint ventures. Additionally, the bid includes provisions for Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) preferences and domestic product procurement requirements, with a 10% price preference for American-made products on purchases over $25,000. The contract also allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to utilize the contract terms, though MoDOT will not be directly involved in those transactions. Vendors are permitted to request monthly price adjustments due to market fluctuations, subject to MoDOT's approval, with changes potentially taking effect on the first day of the following month. Liquidated damages of $100 per day will be assessed for late deliveries, ensuring timely fulfillment of orders. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the as-needed, if-needed nature of the contract suggests flexibility in potential procurement volumes.
