MoDOT Kansas City Water Blasting and Striping

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking vendors to perform water blasting and re-striping services for an existing right turn lane on Interstate 70 and Missouri Route 7. The solicitation requires contractors to water blast the existing 10'x30' eastbound right turn only lane, which spans approximately 1.5 miles, with actual work covering only 1/4 of the total length, and then immediately re-stripe the lane with approved white traffic paint in 3'x9'x12" dimensions. The project must be completed within 30 days of a mutually agreed start date, with the contract period running from the date of award through December 31, 2022, and no renewal options available. Vendors must submit pricing for both the water blasting and re-striping components, with the contract to be awarded on a firm fixed price "low bid" basis. MoDOT will provide lane control during the work, and contractors must submit paint samples for material inspection before beginning the project. The quote submission period is from October 5, 2022, to October 11, 2022, at 3:00 PM GMT, with liquidated damages of $100 per day assessed for late completion.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned businesses are also encouraged to participate. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence), business automobile liability with similar limits, and workers' compensation coverage. While no incumbent contractors are identified, vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS system to submit quotes electronically. Payment terms are net 30 days after completion of all work and receipt of a correct invoice, with MoDOT reserving the right to use the state purchasing card for payment. The solicitation does not specify a specific budget range or award value, but requires vendors to provide comprehensive pricing for the water blasting and re-striping services in accordance with the 2022 Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction.
