MoDOT SW District -Motor Grader

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for the Southwest District, seeking to acquire a new Case 856C 6 X 4 Motor Grader with specific equipment requirements. The motor grader must feature a tier 5 engine, 4-wheel drive, cab heat and air, a 14-foot moldboard with float controls, protective circle drive, front counter weight, LED work light package, rear counterweight, and rear view camera. MoDOT has determined that VLP is the sole distributor capable of providing this equipment within the required timeframe, with delivery mandated prior to June 15, 2023. The solicitation period runs from June 1, 2023, to June 7, 2023, with electronic bid submissions required through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest and best bid that complies with mandatory specifications, with MoDOT reserving the right to consider price discounts for prompt payment and to reject any or all bids.

The procurement encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. The solicitation includes provisions for the Buy American Act, offering a 10% price preference for American-made products on purchases over $25,000. Vendors must submit anti-discrimination certifications, including the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act certification. The delivery terms are Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms, and this represents a one-time purchase for the specified vehicle. While no specific award value is explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement is structured to ensure MoDOT obtains the required motor grader from the single feasible source that best meets the specified requirements and provides the most advantageous pricing and terms.
