MoDOT Statewide Preformed Silicone Joint Sealing Material

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB605CO20001693) for a statewide contract to procure preformed silicone joint sealing material. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for four specific sizes of preformed silicone joint seals (ranging from 1/2" to 6 1/2"), along with accompanying epoxy primer and silicone locking adhesive. The initial contract will be effective from the Notice of Award through February 28, 2021, with three potential one-year renewal options. Bid responses are due by February 19, 2020 at 3:00 PM CST, with delivery of materials required within 30 days after receipt of order. MoDOT will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with pricing to be submitted as firm, fixed unit prices per linear foot for joint seals, per ounce for epoxy primer, and per quart for silicone locking adhesive. The contract will cover delivery to MoDOT districts throughout the state, with the agency reserving the right to increase or decrease quantities as needed.

The solicitation strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% for MBE and 5% for WBE. Vendors can submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or via hard copy, and the contract includes provisions for cooperative purchasing that will allow Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to utilize the contract pricing. Price increases may be requested after the first six months of the original contract or renewal periods, subject to MoDOT's approval and written justification. The agency will accept payment through state purchasing cards (VISA) and requires vendors to indicate any additional fees associated with credit card transactions. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract is designed to cover statewide needs for joint sealing materials, with quantities to be determined on an as-needed basis during the contract term.
