SE District Fuel Pumps Replacement

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the SE District Fuel Pumps Replacement project, seeking qualified vendors to remove and replace fuel pumps at 19 facilities in the Southeast District. The project requires furnishing and installing new unleaded fuel and diesel pumps with specific technical specifications, including 20-foot hoses (3/4" for gas and 1" for diesel), hose retrievers, and high-flow diesel nozzles. Approved pump manufacturers include Gasboy, Wayne, and Bennett, with both electronic and mechanical dispensers specified depending on location. Vendors must be registered on the MissouriBUYS procurement system and are required to schedule site visits with Jacky Traw at 573-380-3660. The bid responses are due by October 10, 2018, at 11:00 AM CDT, with a project completion date of January 31, 2019. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and the pricing must be submitted as a lump sum for all 19 locations.

The IFB encourages minority and women-owned business participation, specifically seeking 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Prevailing wage requirements apply to projects over $75,000, and the bid requires a 5% bid bond or equivalent, with the successful contractor required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond. An optional four-year extended warranty is available as a separate line item beyond the manufacturer's standard warranty. The contractor will be responsible for removing and disposing of old pumps and must provide quality management oversight, as MoDOT will not provide daily inspection. Liquidated damages of $300 per day per item will be assessed for late completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project involves comprehensive fuel pump replacements across multiple facilities, suggesting a potentially significant contract value.
