MODOT KC District Scrap Metal Recycling Services

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking vendors to provide scrap metal recycling services across nine counties through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered IFB605KC19002266. The solicitation requests a firm fixed unit price per pound agreement for picking up scrap metal, including used culvert pipes, from 20 maintenance facilities on an as-needed basis. The initial contract period will run from the Notice of Award through April 30, 2020, with up to three potential one-year renewal options. Vendors must provide containers at service locations and perform pickups between 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays. Pricing will be based on the St. Louis #1 Heavy Melt Scrap Dealer Selling Price from the American Metal Market, with vendors bidding a "Market Minus" price per pound. For evaluation purposes, MoDOT will use an estimated quantity of 25,000 pounds per county and a single trip charge not to exceed $175. Bids are due by April 30, 2019, at 3:00 PM CDT, and vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to participate.

The solicitation 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. Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Businesses may also receive preference consideration. All payments will be made to the "Director of Revenue, Credit State Road Fund" with Net 30 day terms. Payments must be accompanied by documentation including the American Metal Market pricing sheet, scale tickets showing container location and pickup date, and the contract number. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the evaluation will be conducted on a per-county basis, allowing multiple vendors to potentially win contracts for different counties based on their proposed "Market Minus" pricing. The solicitation allows for cooperative purchasing by other Missouri political entities, which could expand the potential scope and value of the contract beyond the initial nine-county Kansas City District area.
