Snow/Tow Plows and Parts

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are soliciting competitive bids for the procurement of snow and tow plows and related equipment through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. The procurement encompasses eight equipment categories, including conventional front snowplows with scarifier and squeegee options (available in 12' and 14' configurations), conventional front snowplows with two-stage moldboards, fixed angle spring tooth underbody equipment, postless mid-mount wing plows, parallel lift/down pressure front snowplows with trip edge, rear mount wing plows, tow plows with various deployment options, and underbody scrapers with spring-tooth cutting edges. Bidders must submit unit pricing for each line item with options for both installed and delivered configurations, as well as percentage discounts off manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). The solicitation opened on August 14, 2025 at 8:00 AM Central Time and closes on August 28, 2025 at 2:00 PM Central Time; prospective bidders intending to submit hard copy bids must notify the buyer, Nanci.Grannemann@modot.mo.gov, at least five business days prior to the closing date. The contract period runs from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, with up to four one-year renewal options available at MoDOT's sole discretion. Evaluation will be conducted on a price-only basis, with award consideration given to the lowest responsive bid, and MoDOT intends to make multiple awards to all responsive bidders meeting the stated requirements. Bidders must provide equipment training at delivery locations, complete parts and options pricing lists, and documentation of standard and extended manufacturer warranties at bid submission, with all materials required to comply with Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. Liquidated damages of $250 per day per item will apply for late deliveries, and payment terms are Net 30 with freight quoted as FOB destination, shipping prepaid and allowed.

This procurement encourages participation from minority business enterprises (MBEs) at a 10 percent level, women business enterprises (WBEs) at a 5 percent level, and service-disabled veteran enterprises (SDVEs) where applicable. The solicitation applies the Domestic Products Procurement Act preference, which provides a 10 percent price preference to bidders whose goods are manufactured or produced in the United States; all bidders must complete required exhibits including Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification and Domestic Products Procurement Act compliance documentation. Bidders may submit responses electronically via MissouriBUYS or by approved hard copy submission. No pre-bid conference or facility tour has been scheduled for this procurement. The solicitation does not specify an overall contract budget or award value; however, the competitive nature of this multi-award procurement and the breadth of equipment categories suggest a substantial procurement volume with potential for significant contract value across all qualified responsive vendors.
