Propane - Multiple Award

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Southeast District is seeking bids for a multiple-award contract to supply propane to up to 32 locations across the Southeast District, including Dade, Taney, and Texas Counties. The Invitation for Bid (IFB605SE20002488) solicits propane delivery on an as-needed, if-needed basis for various maintenance facilities, project offices, and service buildings. Vendors must provide unit pricing that includes all freight, handling, and delivery costs, with no additional fees or surcharges permitted. The contract will be effective from the Notice of Award through May 31, 2021, with bids due by June 5, 2020, at 11:00 AM CDT. Contractors will be responsible for monitoring propane usage, topping off tanks during normal working hours, and maintaining tanks safely according to industry standards and regulatory requirements. The award will be made on an "Item by Item" basis, allowing for multiple vendors to be selected across different locations. Vendors must submit pricing through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System or via hard copy, with unit prices to remain firm for the entire contract period.

MoDOT encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also eligible and may receive preference. The department owns the propane tanks and expects contractors to maintain them safely, with any necessary repairs or maintenance to be handled separately from propane purchases. Vendors must provide Material Safety Data Sheets and comply with specified insurance requirements, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability ($500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence), and workers compensation coverage. Payment terms are Net 30 days, with invoices to be submitted after successful delivery and receipt of a correct invoice. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract allows MoDOT to increase or decrease quantities as needed during the contract period, providing flexibility in procurement.
