Safety Performance Function Tool

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) procurement for a Safety Performance Function Tool (SPF Tool), with a specific determination that only Tatum Group LLC can provide this proprietary solution. The SPF Tool is designed to deliver comprehensive expertise and quality work to meet MoDOT's safety analysis needs, with a contract period spanning one year from the Notice of Award. The solicitation, identified by number SFS605CO25000589, will be open for bid submissions from November 1, 2024, to November 8, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST, with bids accepted electronically through MissouriBUYS or via hard copy (mail, UPS, or FedEx). Vendors intending to submit hard copy bids must contact the buyer of record, Nanci Grannemann, five business days before bid closing. The procurement follows Missouri's single feasible source regulations under 7 CSR 10-11.020(5)(A)1, which allows for non-competitive procurement when supplies are proprietary and only available from a single manufacturer or distributor. Evaluation criteria will focus on the vendor's ability to provide the proprietary tool and meet MoDOT's specific safety analysis requirements.

The solicitation encourages minority business enterprise (MBE) participation of 10% and women business enterprise (WBE) participation of 5%, which can be achieved through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other meaningful arrangements. Vendors must be registered with MissouriBUYS and maintain good standing with the Missouri Secretary of State and Department of Revenue. The contractor will be required to maintain adequate liability insurance, with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT named as additional insured parties. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be vendor-specified. While no specific pricing information or total contract value is explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement allows for evaluation of pricing based on maximum potential financial liability to MHTC. The solicitation is structured to allow other potential vendors an opportunity to provide information regarding their ability to supply similar services, though MoDOT has preliminarily determined Tatum Group LLC as the sole source for this specific SPF Tool.
