The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the Kansas City district located in Jackson County, is soliciting bids for Scrap Metal Recycling Services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB605KC18000700). The procurement requires a contractor to provide 20 cubic yard roll-off containers for scrap metal recycling at multiple MoDOT Maintenance Facilities, with services to be rendered on an as-needed basis. The contractor must replace containers within 24 hours of pickup and will be responsible for collecting and recycling scrap metal from these facilities. The contract period runs from the Notice of Award through September 30, 2018, with three additional one-year renewal options available. Pricing will be determined per ton, and the contractor must remit payment within seven days to MoDOT's Lee's Summit office, with checks payable to the Director of Revenue - Credit State Road Fund. The bid submission period was from September 21, 2017, at 5:30 PM GMT to October 2, 2017, at 7:00 PM GMT, with bids to remain valid for 90 days from the opening date.

The solicitation 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, joint ventures, or other arrangements. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) and Service-Disabled Veteran Business (SDVE) participation is also requested.

The contract includes comprehensive insurance requirements, including general liability insurance of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability with similar coverage, and Missouri workers' compensation insurance. MoDOT is interested in facilitating cooperative purchasing, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the contract, though these entities will not issue purchase orders or make payments. While specific award values were not explicitly stated, the contract allows for potential price adjustments during renewal periods, subject to MoDOT's review and approval.
