MoDOT Statewide Emseal BEJS (Bridge Expansion Joint System)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB605CO19002464) seeking qualified vendors to provide Emseal Bridge Expansion Joint System (BEJS) products for statewide use, with a specific focus on Clark County. The procurement covers various sizes of BEJS components, including 12-foot reels (1" x 1.75" and 1.25" x 2") and 6.56-foot sticks ranging from 1.5" x 2.5" to 4" x 3.5", along with corresponding universal 90-degree fittings. The contract will be awarded for an initial one-year period from the Notice of Award, with three additional one-year renewal options available. Bids are due by May 16, 2019, at 3:00 PM CDT, and vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System to participate. Evaluation criteria include pricing assessed at the maximum potential financial liability to MoDOT, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidder. Delivery requirements specify a 30-day turnaround after receipt of order, with 24-hour advance notice mandatory, and all pricing to include FOB destination freight prepaid.

The solicitation strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goal targets of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation is also welcomed, and vendors must disclose any non-domestic products included in their bid. The contract permits cooperative purchasing, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to utilize the contract pricing, though MoDOT will not issue purchase orders or make payments for these auxiliary agencies. Payment terms are set at Net 30 days, with the state reserving the right to use state purchasing cards (VISA) for transactions. Vendors must specify maximum percentage increases for potential renewal periods, which will be subject to MoDOT's written approval. While no incumbent vendor is identified, the solicitation indicates that final quantities may be increased or decreased based on MoDOT's needs, with all items to be furnished at the unit price bid.
