NW District Mound City Heated Storage Building Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified vendor to construct a heated storage building in Mound City, located in Henry County. The project involves building a 100' wide x 55' deep x 17'-4" eave height structure with 2 x 8 exterior perimeter wood stud walls on a concrete foundation and footings. Specific construction requirements include a 6" concrete floor slab, wood trusses, 26 gauge exterior metal wall and roof panels, 29 gauge metal ceiling panels, insulation, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems, along with incidental site work. A mandatory site visit with Matt Moppin is required for bid acceptance, and potential contractors must contact him at 816-262-3799 to schedule. The bid period runs from April 19, 2024, to May 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT, with the project completion date set for October 30, 2024. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who meets all mandatory specifications, with the general contractor required to self-perform a minimum of 10% of the project work.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Bidders must submit a bid bond, certified check, cashier's check, or bank money order equal to 5% of the bid amount, and the successful bidder must provide a performance and payment bond for 100% of the contract price. Prevailing wage rates will apply according to Missouri Annual Wage Order #30 for Holt County, and alternative construction methods such as pre-engineered metal buildings or tilt-up concrete may be considered but will only be approved after award. Liquidated damages of $700 per day will be assessed for late completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves substantial construction of a heated storage facility. The contractor will be required to maintain insurance coverage, including general liability ($600,000/$4,000,000), automobile liability ($600,000/$4,000,000), and workers' compensation coverage.
