NW District Mound City Mixing Bays Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the NW District Mound City Mixing Bays Project, seeking a qualified contractor to construct a 62'-6" wide x 31'-8" structure located at 24876 Highway 118 in Mound City, Missouri. The project involves constructing 10'-0" stem walls on a 4'-0" spread footing, installing 26 gauge prefinished metal wall panels, wood trusses with a 3/12 pitch, an 8" thick concrete slab, and associated site work. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically, by mail, UPS, or FedEx by September 28, 2022, at 2:00 PM, with a requirement to contact the buyer five business days prior to the bid closing if submitting a hard copy. Written questions were due by September 12, 2022, at 3:00 PM, with any addenda posted by September 14, 2022. While there is no pre-bid meeting, potential contractors can schedule site visits by contacting Matt Moppin. The project must be completed by May 10, 2023, including 15 days for submittals, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

MoDOT encourages 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with potential Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) and Service-Disabled Veteran Business (SDVE) preferences. The bid requires a 5% bid bond or equivalent, and the successful contractor must provide a 100% performance and payment bond. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000/$4,000,000), automobile liability ($500,000/$4,000,000), and workers' compensation coverage with $1,000,000 employer's liability. Prevailing wage requirements apply under Chapter 290 RSMo for Holt County. Liquidated damages of $300 per day will be assessed for late completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves constructing a substantial mixing bay structure with specific architectural and structural requirements. The contractor will be responsible for quality management oversight, with MoDOT conducting eight specific hold point inspections during construction.
