The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking to procure two used chemical tanker trailers through a competitive bidding process. The solicitation, identified as IFB605KC19000602, requires vendors to supply trailers that meet specific technical specifications, including a 1980 or newer model year, 4,000-4,500 gallon capacity, 316 stainless steel tank shell rated at 35 PSI, and a stainless steel frame. Additional requirements include air ride suspension, steel disc hub pilot wheels, hydraulic internal valves, multiple clean-out points, and an external auxiliary engine. The bid period runs from September 18, 2018, to September 22, 2018, with all deliverables required by October 5, 2018, and delivery to be made to 2050 NE Independence Ave, Lee's Summit, MO 64064. Vendors must be registered on the MissouriBUYS procurement system and will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring system: 20 points for price, 20 points for age/condition, and 60 points for features/equipment/options. An on-site inspection of the offered trailers is mandatory prior to award, and vendors must submit pictures and full descriptions of the proposed equipment.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with a goal of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVEs) are also encouraged to participate, though no specific set-aside requirements are mentioned. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and the contract is structured as a one-time purchase with no renewal options. Payment terms are net 30 days, with full payment made after completion of all deliveries and receipt of a correct invoice. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates that the award will be made to the "lowest and best" bidder based on the comprehensive evaluation criteria. The state sales tax is exempt for this procurement, and MoDOT reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to award the contract on an item, group, or all-or-none basis.
