Northeast District - Used Road Tractors

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically for the Northeast District located in Macon, Missouri, is seeking qualified vendors to provide a used road tractor through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered IFB605CO22001243. The solicitation, which opened on January 12, 2022, and closed on January 25, 2022, at 2:00 PM, requires vendors to submit bids for a road tractor meeting detailed specifications. The required vehicle must have a hydraulic wet kit, 11R 22.5 drive tires, air-engaged sliding 5th wheel, minimum 12,000-pound front axle, air-ride suspension, aluminum headache rack, less than 400,000 miles, under 7,000 hours, cruise control, automatic transmission, and a minimum 400 horsepower engine. Bids can be submitted electronically through MissouriBUYS or by mail, with award determined by a 100-point evaluation scale: 45 points for price, 25 points for options/features, and 30 points for availability/proximity of dealer parts and service. The bid evaluation will prioritize the lowest responsive, responsible, and reliable bidder, with MoDOT reserving the right to purchase additional units based on bid responses and budgetary factors.

MoDOT encourages minority and women-owned business enterprise (M/WBE) participation, with a goal of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement, though this is not a mandatory requirement for award. The contract is structured as a one-time purchase with no renewal options, and includes provisions for liquidated damages of $250 per day for late delivery or non-compliance with specifications, capped at 50% of the total contract price. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates MoDOT intends to purchase at least one used road tractor, with potential for multiple awards depending on responses. Payment will be made in full after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice, with no partial payments permitted. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including a completed Used Road Tractor Spec Evaluation Page, Buy America Form, Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification, specification documentation, unit photographs, and an invoice showing any applicable discounts.
