Princeton Salt Barn Roof Restoration Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking qualified bidders for the Princeton Salt Barn Roof Restoration Project, located at 20534 Highway 65 in Princeton, Mercer County. The project involves comprehensive roof rehabilitation, specifically removing existing polyurethane top coat, base coat, foam, and shingles down to the plywood sheathing on the roof and both end walls of the salt barn. The successful contractor will install new 26-gauge prefinished metal roofing, siding, trim, a metal vented ridge cap, continuous snowguards, and potentially replace up to 10 sheets of 5/8" roof sheathing. Bids will be received electronically via MissouriBUYS or by mail until September 12, 2023, at 2:00 PM, with a project completion deadline of May 1, 2024. Potential bidders may schedule site visits by contacting Matt Moppin, and written questions are due by August 21, 2023, at 3:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria including compliance with project specifications, pricing, and ability to meet technical requirements.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE) are also encouraged to participate. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond or equivalent and, if awarded, a 100% performance and payment bond. The contract requires compliance with prevailing wage rates under Missouri Annual Wage Order #30 for Mercer County and includes specific insurance requirements: general liability coverage of $500,000/$4,000,000, automobile liability of $500,000/$4,000,000, and workers' compensation coverage. Liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day will be assessed for late completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project includes provisions for unit pricing on roof sheathing replacement and a lump sum amount for the entire project. The contractor must provide a one-year warranty on all materials and labor, and will be responsible for quality management oversight, as MoDOT will not provide daily inspection.
