Self Propelled Paver Truck Hitch and Pathway Extension

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the St. Louis District, is conducting a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for a Truck Hitch and Pathway Extension for a new Carlson CP85 Self-Propelled Paver. MoDOT has determined that Cummings, McGowan & West, Inc. is the sole regional authorized distributor of the Carlson CP85 Paver and parts in Missouri, making this a proprietary procurement under state regulations 7 CSR 10-11.020(5)(A) 2 and 7 CSR 10-11.020(5)(B) 1 B & E. The solicitation seeks a one-time purchase of the equipment, with delivery required to the MoDOT Operations facility at 2309 Barrett Station Road in Ballwin, MO 63021. The procurement has a specific response period from August 13, 2024, to August 15, 2024, at 10:00:00 AM CDT, during which vendors can submit electronic responses through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. Evaluation criteria include pricing assessment, compliance with mandatory specifications, and overall responsiveness, with MoDOT reserving the right to reject any and all bids. Delivery terms are Free On Board Destination, with payment terms set at Net 30 Days.

While the solicitation does not specify specific set-aside designations, it encourages 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other meaningful participation arrangements. The procurement is structured to allow other vendors to contest the single source determination, though MoDOT has already identified Cummings, McGowan & West, Inc. as the authorized distributor. The solicitation requires the contractor to maintain adequate liability insurance, with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT listed as additional insureds. No specific total contract value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documents. The procurement includes standard requirements for vendor registration with the Missouri Secretary of State and Department of Revenue prior to contract award. Additional contractual provisions cover nondiscrimination, compliance with Executive Order 07-13, and the Domestic Products Procurement Act.
