Ready Mix Concrete

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Central District is soliciting bids for a multiple-award contract to supply ready mix concrete throughout calendar year 2021 to 18 counties in its Central District, including Boone, Callaway, Camden, Cole, Cooper, Crawford, Dent, Gasconade, Howard, Laclede, Maries, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Osage, Phelps, Pulaski, and Washington counties. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB605CD21000912) seeking vendors to provide concrete on an as-needed, if-needed basis with specific mix requirements: 6 bag, 7 bag, or 8 1/2 bag air entrained mix using Type 1 Portland Cement with a 3 1/2" slump from calibrated and MoDOT-approved plants. Vendors must submit pricing per cubic yard, with no environmental fees or fuel surcharges permitted, and are allowed to bid on any combination of county groups. Short loads are defined as 4 yards or less, and MoDOT will select vendors based on cost analysis, availability, and proximity to project locations. The bid submission deadline is December 30, 2020 at 2:00 PM CST, with an anticipated contract term running through the 2021 calendar year. Vendors may submit bids electronically through MissouriBUYS or via hard copy, and must provide complete pricing for any counties they choose to service.

While no mandatory set-aside designations are specified, MoDOT encourages 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, though these are not required for bid submission. The solicitation does not restrict the types of organizations that can respond or provide information about current incumbent vendors. Payment terms are established as Net 30 days with FOB Destination delivery terms. No specific budget range or estimated contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. Vendors are not obligated to provide pricing for every county group but must submit complete pricing for any counties they can service. The contract will be awarded based on a combination of factors including cost analysis, vendor availability, and project proximity to the concrete production plant, ensuring flexibility and competitive pricing for MoDOT's concrete procurement needs throughout the Central District.
