New Florence Fence and Gate Complex

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the New Florence Fence and Gate Complex project located at 540 Tree Farm, New Florence, Missouri 63363. The procurement seeks a contractor to supply and install approximately 1 linear foot of seven-foot security fencing with three-strand barbed wire around the facility perimeter, including one four-foot man gate and two fifteen-foot manual sliding gates with three-strand barbed wire. An alternate bid option is available for an electric-operated thirty-foot sliding gate with additional components such as keypads, sensing edges, and vehicle motion detectors. The base bid requires 9-gauge fencing materials using Schedule 40 or SS40, with tension wire instead of top rail, and line posts that can be mechanically driven. A mandatory site visit was scheduled for June 13, 2017, between 8 AM and 10 AM, with bids due on June 23, 2017, at 3:00 PM CDT. The project has a firm completion deadline of August 25, 2017, with final acceptance required. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest and best bidder complying with mandatory specifications.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation of 10% and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation of 5%. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond and a 100% performance and payment bond. Additionally, successful bidders must carry commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence, with equivalent automobile liability coverage and workers' compensation insurance. The contract will require compliance with Missouri Prevailing Wage Law for Montgomery County, specifically Annual Wage Order #24. Liquidated damages of $300 per day will be assessed for late completion. Bidders must be registered on the MissouriBUYS vendor platform to access full solicitation details. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive fencing and gate installation project suggests a moderate infrastructure investment. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days, with the possibility of using the state purchasing card for transaction processing.
