Northwest District Fall Aggregate

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northwest District is seeking qualified vendors to provide and deliver Fall Aggregate Material to multiple locations within the Northwest District, specifically in Andrew County, Gasconade County, Henry County, and Springfield City. The procurement focuses on two types of materials: Sand Spec 6A and Ice Control Chips Spec 5, with specific quantities ranging from 150-560 tons of sand and 200-400 tons of ice control chips per location. The total estimated aggregate volume is 1,600 tons of sand and 1,440 tons of ice control chips, to be delivered to facilities in Albany, Bethany, Gallatin, Grant City, and King City, Missouri. The solicitation (IFB605NW23000460) requires vendors to provide materials that meet Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, with a minimum daily delivery requirement of 500 tons and delivery restrictions limiting work between sunrise and 30 minutes before sundown, excluding weekends and holidays. Bids are due by September 7, 2022, at 2:00 PM CDT, with all deliveries required to be completed by October 31, 2022. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with evaluation criteria focusing on pricing, material quality, delivery capabilities, and compliance with technical requirements.

MoDOT encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Vendors must provide proof of liability insurance with minimum coverage of $500,000 per person and $4,000,000 per occurrence for general and automobile liability. The solicitation allows for fuel price adjustments if accepted by the vendor and requires electronic bid submission through the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified, the contract includes provisions for MoDOT to increase or decrease quantities as needed. Liquidated damages of $250 per day per item may be assessed for late deliveries, and payment terms are set at Net 30 days. Though a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the aggregate material procurement suggests a substantial investment in infrastructure maintenance and winter preparedness for the Northwest District of Missouri.
