Snow/Tow Plows and Parts - Multiple Award

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are seeking qualified vendors to provide snow and tow plows through a multiple-award contract. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of snow removal equipment, including 12-foot and 14-foot conventional front snowplows with scarifier and squeegee, two-stage cutting edges, fixed angle spring tooth underbody plows, postless mid-mounted wing plows, parallel lift/down pressure front snowplows with trip edges, rear mounted wing plows, and right-hand and bi-directional tow plows. Vendors must submit detailed pricing for each plow type, including both installed and delivered options, and provide a percentage discount off Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for all snowplow parts and options. The bid evaluation will consider multiple factors including price, delivery timeline, warranty, location of servicing dealers, past performance, and the quality of different makes and models. The solicitation was posted on August 8, 2019, with bids due by September 4, 2019 at 2:00 PM Central Time. The initial contract period will run from the date of award through September 30, 2020, with provisions for up to two one-year renewal options.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), specifically targeting 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. While there are no strict set-aside requirements, the procurement allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the contract. Delivery locations are specified across multiple MoDOT facilities throughout Missouri, including St. Joseph, Macon, Hannibal, Lee's Summit, Jefferson City, Chesterfield, Joplin, Springfield, Willow Springs, and Sikeston. Payment terms are established at net 30 days with FOB destination pricing, and the contract includes provisions for liquidated damages of $250 per day per item for late deliveries. Although specific award values are not explicitly stated, the multiple-award structure suggests the potential for significant procurement across various plow types and configurations. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best responsive bidders that meet all mandatory specifications and requirements.
