MoDOT Bulk Buy Dump Trucks

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are requesting proposals for bulk-buy dump trucks (single axle and tandem axle configurations) with proposals due August 31, 2026, and a maximum delivery deadline of December 31, 2027.

MoDOT anticipates purchasing 45 to 65 dump trucks total, with a maximum capacity of 85 units. All trucks must be new, current model items at receipt of purchase order and must comply with specified composition requirements (stainless steel or Corten steel bodies), comprehensive cab and chassis specifications, and detailed body builder and optional equipment configurations. Trucks must meet all State of Missouri and Federal vehicle weight, dimension, and safety requirements and support highway maintenance operations including material hauling, trailer towing, and operation of hydraulically operated attachments such as rotary brooms, sprayers, snowplows, and material spreaders. Detailed single axle and tandem axle specifications are attached, along with technical specifications for front plow hitch assembly, mud flap design, and tarp design. The Fleet Change Log documents specification modifications from the previous solicitation, including removal of oil pan from corrosion mitigation, addition of upfitter circuits, frame hole punching requirements, backup camera display restrictions, and moldboard specifications with removable base angles standard on 12' and 14' front snowplow options.

Proposals will be evaluated on experience and reliability (5 points), proposed method of performance including specification compliance, delivery capabilities, and district location requirements (55 points), and cost (40 points). Pricing must be submitted in whole dollar increments as firm fixed prices for single axle trucks, tandem axle trucks, and optional equipment. Offerors may utilize multiple chassis manufacturers and body builders. Liquidated damages of $50.00 per day per item apply for deliveries not completed by December 31, 2027. The contract period runs one year from full execution. Progress payments may be authorized, with initial payment upon cab and chassis delivery to the body builder and final payment upon acceptance. Minimum five-year/150,000-mile cab and chassis warranty and seven-year/150,000-mile engine and aftertreatment warranty from respective manufacturers are required. Proposals are accepted electronically through MissouriBUYS powered by MOVERS and by mail via USPS, UPS, or FedEx, with hard copy submitters required to notify buyer of record Ashten Nichols at least five calendar days prior to closing.
