MoDOT Statewide - Dump Truck 2025 Models- Multiple Award

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are conducting a competitive solicitation (IFB605CO23002393) to procure 2025 model year Dump Trucks, specifically seeking Single Axle, Tandem Axle, and Towplow configurations for seven different district-specific requirements. The invitation for bid (IFB) was posted on September 5, 2023, with bid responses due on October 17, 2023, at 2:00 PM CDT, and the contract period running from award date until November 30, 2024. Bidders must provide detailed pricing for base chassis configurations and district-specific equipment packages, with a requirement to offer percentage discounts off MSRP for additional optional equipment. The evaluation criteria is comprehensive, allocating 50 points for base and options costs, 20 points for warranty coverage and unit features, 20 points for parts/service dealer locations and past performance, 5 points for delivery timeline, and 5 points for other response information. Bids can be submitted electronically through MissouriBUYS or by mail, with hard copy submissions requiring five days advance notice to the buyer. Delivery requirements include specific provisions such as minimum fuel levels, DEF levels, and cleanliness standards for the dump trucks.

The solicitation encourages minority and women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation. This is structured as a multiple award contract, meaning multiple vendors may be selected and no single vendor is guaranteed all items. The procurement allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling other Missouri government entities to potentially utilize the resulting contract. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant procurement value across multiple truck configurations and districts. Vendors must submit Buy America certifications and are limited to one chassis model per manufacturer, with up to four total submissions per base item. Progress payments will be available based on chassis delivery to body builders, with final payment contingent upon MoDOT's acceptance of the completed dump trucks. The solicitation emphasizes vendor reliability, technical specifications compliance, and the ability to meet the diverse needs of MoDOT's seven districts.
