MoDOT Statewide Spring Aggregate

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are seeking qualified vendors to provide Spring Aggregate Material through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of aggregate materials, including Trap Rock, Specification 4 Aggregate for Seal Coat, Specification 6 Snow and Ice Control Sand, Specification 8 Aggregate for Base, Specification 3 Aggregate for Surfacing, Specification RR4, and Clean Cinders. The materials will be delivered to multiple maintenance facilities across the Central, Kansas City, Northeast, and Northwest districts of Missouri, with individual line item quantities ranging from 200 to 3,301 tons. The contract period will commence upon notice to proceed and continue until the specified delivery deadlines, which range from April 1, 2020 to July 2, 2020. Bids are due by December 5, 2019 at 2:00 PM CST, and the evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest, most responsive, and responsible bidders meeting the detailed specifications outlined in the 2019 Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. Vendors must provide firm, fixed unit prices per ton, with delivery terms specified as FOB destination with freight prepaid and allowed.

The IFB encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with suggested participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) and Service-Disabled Veteran Business (SDVE) providers are also eligible to respond. Bidders must submit a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the bid amount, and the awarded vendor will be required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, historical spending data indicates that the previous year's contract for the Kansas City, Northeast, and Northwest districts totaled $1,386,839, with this solicitation expected to be substantially larger due to expanded statewide participation. The procurement allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to utilize the contract pricing and specifications. Payment terms are set at Net 30 Days, and MoDOT reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities by up to 40% prior to award, providing flexibility in meeting the state's aggregate material needs.
