Deliverables include a D&S mini stack unit (30"x36") for one bay operation, a 5 HP single phase CAT 530 Pump capable of supporting multiple wash functions including low pressure presoak, degreaser, high pressure hot soap, high pressure cold rinse, clear coat, and foam brush. The project also requires a ceiling mount stainless steel dual boom with high pressure wand and foam brush, along with associated control equipment and installation labor. Bids must be submitted electronically via MissouriBUYS or by hard copy by September 27, 2023, at 2:00 PM CDT, with written questions accepted until September 12, 2023. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest cost from responsive and responsible bidders, with the project completion deadline set for January 31, 2024. Site visits can be scheduled by contacting Larry Joedicke, and bidders must provide a bid bond or equivalent security for 5% of the bid amount.

MoDOT actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (SDVE) may also claim preference in the bidding process. The successful contractor will be required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $4 million in general and automobile liability. MoDOT will provide essential infrastructure support, including a dedicated 120/240 single phase electrical circuit, hot and cold-water supply line with valve, and 1/2" airline for the installation. Liquidated damages of $200 per day will be assessed for late completion, and the contractor must provide a minimum one-year warranty on all materials and equipment.
