SB Eagleville Static Scale Replacement Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the SB Eagleville Static Scale Replacement Project located at 13565 Interstate 35 in Eagleville, Missouri. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide and install a new static truck scale and dispose of the existing deficient weighbridge at the Official Weigh Station. The scale must be a multi-platform system with National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) Class IIIL approval, featuring three load platforms for simultaneous weighing of steering, drive, and trailer axles. Key specifications include a minimum 100-foot long by 12-foot wide weighing surface, a gross weighing capacity of 200,000 pounds, digital load cells with 100,000-pound minimum capacity, and IP66-rated scale instrumentation with remote LED displays. The bid submission period runs from December 13, 2022, to January 11, 2023, at 2:00 PM CST, with site inspections available Monday through Thursday between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. The contract period will extend from the date of award through May 31, 2023, with evaluation criteria focusing on the lowest responsive, responsible, and reliable bidder.

The IFB encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Service-disabled veteran businesses are also encouraged to participate. Bidders must provide a bid bond or security for 5% of the bid amount and will be required to submit a 100% performance and payment bond upon award. The project includes specific warranty requirements: a 10-year warranty on weighbridge components and load cells, and a 5-year warranty on instrumentation and displays, covering all parts, labor, and recalibration costs. Liquidated damages of $500 per day will be assessed for late completion, and the project is subject to Missouri prevailing wage rates per Annual Wage Order #29 for Harrison County. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, MoDOT will provide certain supporting infrastructure, including traffic control, electrical power and conduit, and pressure washing of the foundation pit. The contractor will be responsible for all other aspects of scale removal, installation, testing, and certification.
