The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide and install a "Fabric Type" Stressed Skin Membrane Storage Structure at its Southeast District Ellington facility located in Scott County. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a specific fabric storage structure measuring 40' wide x 50' deep, with precise specifications including end-walls on both sides, two fixed 36"x36" louver vents, one 18'x18' gather door with electric winch, and one 3'x6'8" stainless steel door. The structure will be erected on interlocking concrete blocks already provided by MoDOT. The bid solicitation requires the contractor to complete the project by August 12, 2022, with key dates including a bid submission deadline of March 1, 2022 at 2:00 PM CST. Potential contractors can schedule site visits with Paul Huskey until February 18, 2022, and written questions are due by February 22, 2022. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on a total cost evaluation, with the contractor responsible for providing all necessary permits, licenses, and compliance with prevailing wage requirements.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Bidders must provide a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the bid amount for proposals over $50,000, and the selected contractor will be required to furnish a 100% performance and payment bond. The contract requires the contractor to maintain specific insurance coverage, including commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability insurance with similar limits, and workers' compensation insurance. Liquidated damages of $300 per day will be assessed for late completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates the project will be funded through MoDOT, and the contractor must comply with all state and federal regulations, including OSHA safety programs and COVID-19 safety protocols. The project will be located at 605 N. 2nd ST, Ellington, MO 63638, and MoDOT will provide quality assurance through periodic hold point inspections rather than daily oversight.
