SE Willow Springs General Services HVAC Unit Replacement

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to replace HVAC units at the General Services building located in Willow Springs, Henry County. The project specifically requires the installation of two 5-ton and two 10-ton York Gas Package Units on the building's roof, with comprehensive specifications including hail guards, curb adapters, new thermostats, manual fresh makeup air, and MERV 11 filter compatibility. The bid period runs from March 28, 2022, to April 13, 2022, with bids due by 2:00 PM CDT, and potential contractors can schedule site visits with Shane Wood by April 7, 2022. Written questions are due by April 8, 2022, and all work must be completed by June 1, 2022, which includes a 15-day period for submittals. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the bid price required to include all necessary fittings, crane fees, labor, and disposal of existing units. Evaluation criteria will focus on meeting mandatory technical requirements, pricing, and overall project feasibility.

The procurement encourages 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, though these are not strict requirements. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond or equivalent security, and the successful contractor will be required to provide 100% performance and payment bonds. The contract mandates specific insurance requirements, including general liability coverage of $500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence, matching automobile liability coverage, and workers' compensation insurance. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements for Howell County under Missouri Annual Wage Order #28 and adhere to OSHA safety standards and COVID-19 protocols. Liquidated damages of $300 per day will be assessed for late completion, and payment terms are set at net 30 days. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical requirements and multiple HVAC units suggest a substantial project investment. Potential bidders must be registered in the MissouriBUYS system, with hard copy bids permitted upon prior approval.
