SL St. Clair Weigh Station and Truck Inspection Building Project

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking a qualified contractor to construct two commercial structures for the St. Clair Weigh Station and Truck Inspection Building Project located in Franklin County. The project involves building concrete floor slabs, wood scissor trusses, metal siding and roofing, finished office space, a truck inspection pit, ADA restrooms, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, and associated site work. Additionally, the contractor must construct a GPS foundation, erect a MoDOT-purchased GPS tower, install an HP Radio Tower, and various lot lighting devices. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for March 27, 2024, at 10:00 AM CST at 1032 N Service Road, St. Clair, Missouri. Bids are due on April 16, 2024, at 10:00 AM CDT, with electronic submission preferred through the MissouriBUYS system or via mail, UPS, or FedEx. The contract requires completion by December 20, 2024, with liquidated damages of $1,000 per day assessed for late completion. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidder who meets all mandatory specifications and requirements.

MoDOT encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. The project requires a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the bid amount, and the successful bidder must provide a 100% performance and payment bond. Prevailing wage rates will apply according to Annual Wage Order #30 for Franklin County. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including general liability of $4,000,000, automobile liability of $4,000,000, and workers' compensation coverage. The contractor is responsible for quality management oversight, as MoDOT will not provide daily inspection but will conduct inspections at specified hold points throughout the project. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Contractors must also provide a one-year warranty on all building materials and equipment, comply with E-Verify requirements, and submit necessary documentation such as the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification.
