Ready Mix Concrete

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking to establish multiple price agreements for the supply and delivery of Ready Mix Concrete to various locations within the KC District throughout calendar year 2024. The Invitation for Bid (IFB605KC24001247) requires vendors to provide pricing for specific concrete mix types, including 6 Bag Mix, 7 Bag Mix, and 8 1/2 Bag Mix, along with additional charges for calcium (1% and 2%), fiber reinforcement, hot water, and short load charges. The solicitation covers nine counties: Cass, Clay, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Pettis, Platte, Ray, and Saline. Vendors must submit bids electronically through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System by January 12, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST, with the contract period running from the Notice of Award through December 31, 2024. MoDOT will select vendors based on cost analysis, availability, and project proximity to plant locations, with all unit prices required to include delivery costs (F.O.B. Destination) and payment terms set at Net 30 days.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. Vendors must provide detailed information about their plant locations, contact information, hours of operation, and any delivery area limitations. The IFB also allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the contract. Vendors are required to maintain specific insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000/$4,000,000), automobile liability ($500,000/$4,000,000), and workers' compensation coverage. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the solicitation indicates that multiple awards will be made based on lowest and best bid, considering price, vendor responsibility, and other evaluation criteria. Vendors may request price increases during the contract period, which MoDOT will review, though no price increases will be granted during the first six months or on goods/services already obligated by a Purchase Order.
