The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southeast District has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB605SE1900547) seeking qualified vendors to furnish two 20-ton tilt equipment trailers, with one trailer to be delivered to the Malden Maintenance Facility and the other to the Hayti Maintenance Facility in the Southeast District. The trailers must meet specific technical specifications, including a minimum 35-foot length, dual axle configuration, 40,000-pound deck rating, 30-foot main deck length, and an 8-degree load angle. The bid solicitation opened on September 11, 2018, at 2:00 PM GMT and closed on September 17, 2018, at 4:00 PM GMT, with vendors required to submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or via hard copy. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bidder that meets all mandatory specifications and requirements, with pricing to be provided FOB destination and payment terms set at net 45 days. Vendors must provide detailed information including brand, model number, color, and delivery timeline, and all equipment must be new and of current production.

The procurement encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVEs) are also encouraged to participate, and vendors must identify any non-domestic products proposed. The solicitation includes cooperative purchasing provisions, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and special road districts to potentially purchase from the contract, though MoDOT will not handle purchase orders or payments for these additional entities. Vendors must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including nondiscrimination provisions and domestic product requirements. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the procurement is limited to the state of Missouri, specifically targeting Benton and DeKalb counties. The contract does not include renewal options, and pricing must remain valid for 90 days from the bid opening date.
