On Call as Needed Aggregate

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) St. Louis District is soliciting bids for an "On Call as Needed Aggregate" contract through Invitation for Bid (IFB) number IFB605SL18001367. The procurement seeks to establish a price agreement for plant/quarry pickup of aggregate materials by MoDOT staff and trucks on an as-needed basis throughout calendar year 2018. The contract period will run from the date of award through December 31, 2018, with bids due by February 13, 2018 at 10:00 AM CST. The solicitation includes 22 specific aggregate product types, such as gabion stone, rip rap, shot rock, various sizes of clean rock, road rock, base rock, ditch liner, rock blanket, and sand. Vendors are not required to bid on all line items, only those they can supply. Evaluation criteria will include factors such as gradation, cost analysis, availability, and project proximity to quarry locations. All materials must comply with the 2017 Edition of the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, and pricing will be based on per-ton rates for pickup.

The solicitation strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) with a 10% participation goal and Women Business Enterprises (WBEs) with a 5% participation goal. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) firms are also encouraged to participate. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full solicitation details and submit bids electronically or by hard copy. Payment terms are net 30 days after receipt of materials and a correct invoice, with pricing to remain firm for the duration of the contract. MoDOT reserves the right to issue separate solicitations for similar materials during the contract period and to make multiple awards to lock in pricing for potential as-needed orders. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the multiple-award structure suggests flexibility in procurement and potential for significant aggregate material purchases throughout the 2018 calendar year.
