NW Savannah Mechanic and Wash Bay Building

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the construction of a new maintenance facility in Savannah, Andrew County, Missouri. The project involves building a 92'-8" wide x 55' deep x 16'-4" eave height structure with three mechanics bays, offices, ADA restrooms, and a truck wash. The building will feature 2"x6" wood exterior walls, a 6" concrete floor slab, wood trusses, 26-gauge metal wall and roof panels, and will include plumbing, mechanical, electrical, and incidental site work. A pre-bid conference call was scheduled for April 9, 2020, at 10:30 AM, with bids due on April 21, 2020, at 3:00 PM CDT. The project has a targeted completion date of September 15, 2020, with liquidated damages of $700 per day assessed for late completion. Contractors are encouraged to review plans and consider alternative construction methods such as pre-engineered metal buildings or tilt-up concrete, though such alternatives will only be considered after award.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) at 10% and Women Business Enterprises (WBE) at 5%, with Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE) also welcomed. Bidders must provide a bid bond or equivalent for 5% of the bid amount, and the successful contractor will be required to furnish a 100% performance and payment bond. Prevailing wage requirements apply according to Missouri Annual Wage Order #26 for Andrew County. The contractor must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $3 million in general liability and automobile liability, and comply with Missouri's construction safety program and laws regarding employment of unauthorized aliens. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the project represents a significant investment in infrastructure for the Northwest District Savannah Maintenance facility, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest and most responsive bidder meeting all specified requirements.
