The solicitation, numbered SFS605CO24002172, seeks to procure a new 30,005 lbs. roller with a 79" drum width and 3.8/130 hp Cummins engine. MoDOT has determined that only one vendor, The G.W.

The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest and best bid that complies with all mandatory specifications and requirements, with particular attention to the discounted pricing.

While there are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, the solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation at 10% and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation at 5% through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. The procurement includes requirements for Buy America compliance for purchases over $25,000, with a 10% price preference for American-made products.
