MoDOT NE District - Purchase of (4) M60 Controllers for Traffic Signal Cabinets

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for four M60 NEMA TS1 Controllers with D Plugs and 3.56g firmware, specifically designed for existing traffic signal cabinets. MoDOT has determined that MoboTrex is the sole source capable of providing these specialized controllers due to their proprietary nature and required compatibility with current infrastructure. The solicitation period runs from September 22, 2023, to September 29, 2023, with electronic responses required through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system. Bidders must submit pricing information, and MoDOT will evaluate responses to determine the lowest and best bid that meets mandatory specifications. The procurement is structured as a one-time purchase with Free on Board Destination delivery terms and Net 30 day payment terms. Vendors must comply with state regulations and submit responses by 1:00 PM CDT on September 29, 2023, with Bill Noyes designated as the primary contact for any inquiries.

While no specific set-aside designations are mandated, the solicitation encourages 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. The procurement is technically open to all vendors, though MoDOT has definitively identified MoboTrex as the single feasible source based on equipment compatibility requirements. The solicitation includes provisions for the Domestic Products Procurement Act, which applies to purchases over $25,000, requiring U.S. manufactured goods unless specific exceptions are granted. No estimated total contract value is explicitly stated in the documentation. The contract will be administered according to Missouri state laws and regulations, with MoDOT reserving the right to reject any and all bids and to waive minor irregularities in the evaluation process. The existing infrastructure consists of current traffic signal cabinets that require these specific M60 controllers for continued operational compatibility.
