SE Poplar Bluff Project Office Foundation/Slab Stabilization Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to perform foundation and slab stabilization at its SE Poplar Bluff Project Office through an Invitation for Bid (IFB). The project requires the installation of 24 helical piers to address vertical settlement movement of the building foundation, with all piers being required to reach competent load bearing soil or bedrock. Contractors must attend a mandatory site visit and can submit bids electronically via MissouriBUYS or by mail. The bid opening is scheduled for March 8, 2024, at 3:00 PM CST, with a project completion deadline of May 31, 2024. Key deliverables include a comprehensive installation of helical piers, potential foundation lifting if safely feasible, and restoration of any excavation-impacted systems like sidewalks, storm drains, and plumbing. Bidders must provide a lump sum project cost and an additional per linear foot cost for any pier depths exceeding 21 feet. The successful contractor will be required to provide a 10-year materials and workmanship warranty and must comply with all project specifications and prevailing wage requirements.

MoDOT encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond or equivalent and will be evaluated based on being the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The contract will require a 100% performance and payment bond for the awarded contractor. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project includes provisions for liquidated damages of $200 per day for late completion. Contractors must provide proof of insurance, including general liability coverage of $500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $500,000/$4,000,000, and workers' compensation coverage. The project also welcomes information on Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) or Service-Disabled Veteran Business (SDVE) involvement, though this is not a mandatory requirement for bidding.
