MoDOT Statewide Liquid Asphalt Vendor Pre-Qualification Open Enrollment

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB605CO21001003) for a Statewide Liquid Asphalt Vendor Pre-Qualification Open Enrollment opportunity. This procurement seeks to establish a pool of pre-qualified vendors capable of submitting asphaltic material pricing through the end of the current enrollment period. The solicitation is open to all vendors who can provide liquid asphalt materials with specific delivery requirements, including free on board (FOB) destination delivery and net 30-day payment terms. Vendors must submit their bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or via hard copy delivery by January 27, 2021, at 2:00 PM CST. The evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest and best responsive bidders who meet all mandatory specifications and requirements. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability insurance of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability with identical coverage limits, and Missouri State Workmen's Compensation coverage.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with targeted participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. While there are no specific set-aside requirements or restrictions on organizational types, vendors must be registered with the Missouri Secretary of State and maintain good standing with the Missouri Department of Revenue. The contract includes cooperative purchasing provisions, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to purchase materials under the same terms and conditions. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, and there is no stated total contract value or budget range. MoDOT reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities as needed and may utilize state purchasing cards (VISA) for transactions. The pricing submitted by vendors must remain valid for 90 days from the bid opening, with the expectation that prices will remain firm for the duration of the contract period.
