The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Central District is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB605CD21000042) for the monthly rental of a Rock Crusher and Track Hoe Excavator to be used at their Camdenton maintenance facility. The procurement requires one track-mounted rock crusher equivalent to or greater than a KPI FT4250CC model, featuring magnet capabilities, a 3-bar MPR rotor, and the ability to screen and recirculate material, capable of crushing rock from 3 feet to 1 inch in diameter. The accompanying Track Hoe must have a 22-ton weight rating, a 42-inch minimum bucket size with a hydraulic thumb, and be capable of feeding the rock crusher. The equipment must be delivered to the maintenance facility by August 31, 2020, for use from September 1 through September 30, 2020. The bid submission period runs from July 10, 2020, to July 17, 2020, at 3:00 PM CDT, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidder. Evaluation criteria include price, vendor responsibility, and compliance with all mandatory requirements. The vendor must provide one day of training upon equipment delivery and include delivery and pickup services.

The IFB 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, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) vendors are also encouraged to participate. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full solicitation details and submit a bid. The contract includes specific insurance requirements, including commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence, equivalent automobile liability coverage, and workers compensation insurance. Liquidated damages of $250 per day, per item, will be assessed for late delivery. Payment terms are Net 30 Days, with FOB destination delivery. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the equipment will be used for MoDOT's construction and maintenance operations, suggesting this is a recurring need for the organization's infrastructure maintenance and development activities.
