MoDOT Bulk Buy Dump Trucks

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is requesting proposals for bulk-buy dump trucks (single-axle and tandem-axle configurations) under RFP issued on behalf of the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC), with proposals due August 31, 2026. MoDOT anticipates purchasing 45 to 65 dump trucks total, with all vehicles delivered no later than December 31, 2027, and a contract term of one year from full execution.

Proposals must address comprehensive specifications for single-axle and tandem-axle chassis and bodies. Single-axle trucks are specified for material hauling, trailer towing, and operation of hydraulically operated attachments (rotary brooms, sprayers, snowplows, spreaders). Tandem-axle trucks require conventional school bus yellow cabs, tandem rear axles with 40,000-pound minimum rating, Allison 3000 RDS automatic transmission, and 15-foot dump bodies with 12-cubic-yard maximum capacity. Both configurations must comply with Missouri and Federal vehicle weight, dimension, and safety requirements. Technical specifications include detailed mud flap, tarp design, and front plow hitch attachment drawings. Cab and chassis manufacturers must provide minimum five-year or 150,000-mile warranty with extended engine and aftertreatment warranties of minimum seven years, 150,000 miles, and unlimited engine hours. All trucks must undergo pre-delivery inspections by chassis provider and body builder, with MoDOT retaining rights to conduct additional inspections. Contractors maintain ownership until final acceptance; payment is contingent upon individual truck acceptance.

Pricing must be submitted as firm fixed prices in whole dollar increments for each base truck and options, with offerors able to propose percent discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price (M.S.R.P.) for components not specified. Liquidated damages of $50 per day per item apply for deliveries not completed by December 31, 2027. Primary delivery locations are Jefferson City, Springfield, Sikeston, and Ballwin, Missouri; contractors should maintain service locations within 100 miles of these points. MoDOT will accept cooperative purchasing arrangements with Missouri counties, cities, special road districts, and other political entities. Proposals are submitted electronically through MissouriBUYS powered by MOVERS or by mail (USPS, UPS, or FedEx); hard copy submissions require notification to the buyer of record five calendar days before closing.
