MoDOT Southeast BP-2 Hot Mix

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southeast District is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for 7,875 tons of BP-2 Hot Mix Material to be picked up at the plant, with specific quantities allocated for Reynolds County (7,250 tons for Route K) and Madison County (625 tons for US67 Outer Road). The procurement seeks both aggregate and liquid bituminous material components that must conform to the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, with precise mixture composition requirements of 92%-95.5% total mineral aggregate and 4.5%-7.0% cutback or emulsified asphalt. The bid solicitation requires vendors to submit separate pricing for aggregate and liquid bituminous materials, with payment based on actual quantities used. The bid period opens February 15, 2024, and closes February 29, 2024, at 10:30:00 AM CST, with the contract period running from the Notice to Proceed until August 31, 2024. Evaluation criteria include lowest price, responsiveness, and vendor reliability, with MoDOT reserving the right to increase or decrease quantities by up to 40% prior to contract award.

The solicitation strongly encourages minority and women-owned business participation, specifically targeting 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also encouraged to participate. Vendors must provide certification of compliance with the Domestic Products Procurement Act and submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. Payment terms are Net 30 days with FOB Destination delivery terms, and liquidated damages of $250 per day may be assessed for late deliveries. Materials not meeting specifications may be accepted at the State Maintenance Director's discretion with a 10% price reduction applied to out-of-spec tonnage. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the total procurement value can be estimated at approximately $750,000 to $1,000,000 based on typical hot mix material pricing, depending on current market rates for aggregate and liquid bituminous materials.
