MoDOT Bulk Buy Dump Trucks

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is requesting proposals for bulk-buy dump trucks (single axle and tandem axle) under RFP 0000000342SL, with proposals due August 31, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. MoDOT anticipates purchasing 45–65 dump trucks, with offerors capable of supplying up to a maximum of 85 units; all vehicles must be delivered by December 31, 2027.

Scope includes new, current-model single-axle and tandem-axle dump trucks for highway maintenance operations, including material hauling, trailer towing, and operation of hydraulically operated attachments such as rotary brooms, sprayers, snowplows, and material spreaders. Tandem-axle specifications mandate a conventional cab with air-ride suspension, Allison 3000 Rugged Duty Series automatic transmission, turbocharged diesel engine, full dual air brake system with four-channel anti-lock capabilities, and a 15-foot western-style dump body with maximum struck capacity of twelve cubic yards. Both configurations require detailed engineering documentation including projected weights, overall dimensions, clearance specifications, and line sheets. Warranty requirements include a minimum five-year or 150,000-mile cab and chassis warranty and a minimum seven-year, 150,000-mile, or unlimited engine hours warranty for engine and aftertreatment components. Contractors bear full responsibility for compliance with all specifications, pre-delivery inspections, and compliance with detailed attachment specifications including tarp design, mud flap configuration, and front plow hitch assembly. MoDOT reserves the right to conduct additional inspections at final assembly and upon delivery.

The contract period runs one year from full execution. Liquidated damages of $50 per day per item apply for late deliveries. Evaluation uses multiattribute scoring: experience and reliability (5 points), proposed method of performance including specification compliance and delivery capabilities (55 points), and total cost (40 points). Offerors must submit compliance exhibits including Buy American and Anti-Discrimination Against Israel certifications, references from similar contracts, and monthly updated delivery schedules. Proposals are accepted electronically through MissouriBUYS powered by MOVERS or by mail (USPS, UPS, FedEx); hard-copy bidders must notify buyer Ashten Nichols at ashten.nichols@modot.mo.gov five calendar days before closing. Email submissions are not accepted. The written question deadline was July 15, 2026; an amendment addressing questions was issued by July 22, 2026. No pre-bid conference is scheduled.
