Ready Mix Concrete

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking to establish a price agreement with multiple vendors for the supply and delivery of Ready Mix Concrete throughout calendar year 2024. The Invitation for Bid (IFB60524001071) covers 17 counties in the Northeast District, including Adair County, and requires vendors to provide pricing for 6 bag, 7 bag, and 8 1/2 bag air entrained mix concrete using Type 1 Portland Cement with a 3 1/2" slump from calibrated and MoDOT-approved plants. Vendors must submit pricing per cubic yard, which must remain firm for the entire calendar year and include all delivery costs. The bid response deadline is January 17, 2024, at 1:00 PM CST, with orders to be placed on an as-needed, if-needed basis. MoDOT will evaluate and select vendors based on factors including cost analysis, availability, and project proximity to plant location. Pricing must incorporate all costs, with environmental fees and fuel surcharges explicitly prohibited and required to be built into the unit pricing.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement. Vendors are not required to bid on every county but must provide complete pricing for all line items in any county they choose to service. The contract allows for additional pricing for optional items such as calcium chloride additives (1% and 2%), fiber charges, hot water charges, and flowable fill grout. Short loads are defined as 4 yards or less and will typically only be used to finish a work day or project. Payment terms are Net 30 days after delivery completion and receipt of a correct invoice. While no specific contract value is listed, the procurement is structured as a multiple-award bid, meaning multiple vendors may be selected to provide concrete across the Northeast District. MoDOT reserves the right to increase or decrease estimated quantities and to obtain materials from alternative sources if a selected vendor cannot meet committed delivery times.
