MoDOT Southeast District 2024 Spring Aggregate

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southeast District is seeking qualified vendors to provide Spring Aggregate Material for the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission through Invitation for Bid (IFB) number IFB605SE24001635. The procurement covers two primary aggregate types: Pug Rock (limestone only) and Trap Rock (crushed porphyry aggregate), with specific delivery requirements to multiple locations throughout the Southeast District, including Texas County. Quantities range from 500 to 7,500 tons per location, with delivery locations including Kewanee, Kennett, Winona, Ava, Gainesville, and other specified sites. Vendors must provide aggregate materials that conform to the 2023 Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, with precise gradation and moisture content requirements. The bid solicitation period runs from February 23, 2024, to March 11, 2024, at 9:00 AM CDT, with vendors required to contact the buyer of record at Juli.Smith@modot.mo.gov five business days prior to bid closing if submitting a hard copy bid. Evaluation criteria include lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to increase or decrease quantities as needed.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% and 5% respectively. Vendors must comply with various legal requirements, including the Domestic Products Procurement Act and the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act. Delivery terms are stringent, requiring a minimum of 500 tons per day, with no deliveries permitted from 30 minutes before sundown to sunrise or on weekends and holidays without specific authorization. Vendors can bid on either plant pickup or delivery options, but not both, with plant pickup bids factoring in mileage costs from plant to jobsite. Liquidated damages of $250 per day per item may be assessed for late deliveries, and material is subject to quality control testing with potential price deductions of up to 20% per testing category, not exceeding 60% of the total invoiced amount. Payment terms are net 30 days, with pricing to include all packing, handling, and shipping charges FOB destination. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant contract value across multiple aggregate delivery locations in the Southeast District.
