Scrap Metal Recycling Services

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking vendors to provide scrap metal recycling services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB605KC19001775) specifically targeting Jackson County and other counties within the Kansas City District. The procurement requires vendors to deliver containers to various locations, collect scrap metal, and provide recycling services with a contract period from Notice of Award through March 31, 2020, with potential for three additional one-year renewal periods. Pricing will be dynamically determined using the St. Louis #1 Heavy Melt Scrap Dealer Selling Price listed on the American Metal Market, with vendors bidding a margin above or below this index price for each load picked up monthly. Vendors must be registered on the MissouriBUYS eProcurement system to access full solicitation details, and must submit documentation including American Metal Market pricing sheets, scale tickets, container locations, and retrieval dates with each payment. The bid submission period opened on February 26, 2019, with responses due by March 12, 2019 at 7:00 PM GMT, and the solicitation will be awarded by county group on a per gross ton basis.

The solicitation strongly encourages participation from minority-owned and disadvantaged businesses, specifically targeting 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) and Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (SDVE) businesses are also encouraged to participate. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence for general and automobile liability, as well as Missouri State Workers' Compensation coverage. The contract includes cooperative purchasing options for Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities, allowing potential expansion beyond the initial scope. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the dynamic pricing model based on the American Metal Market index suggests that compensation will fluctuate with market conditions. Additional requirements include compliance with state and federal employment laws and providing proof of lawful worker employment.
