Solar Array, Interior Lighting and Roof Replacement - Trenton FMS & RC

The State of Missouri Office of Administration, Facilities Management, Design & Construction (OA-FMDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a comprehensive construction project at the Missouri National Guard's Trenton Field Maintenance Shop (FMS) and Readiness Center (RC) located in Gasconade County. The project encompasses three primary components: constructing a solar panel array on-site, replacing interior lighting with LED lighting, and completing a full roof replacement. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through the MissouriBUYS system by May 20, 2021, at 1:30 PM CDT, with a mandatory 5% bid bond or cashier's check accompanying the submission. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site tour is scheduled for May 6, 2021, at 1:00 PM at the Trenton Readiness Center, where potential bidders can review the project details and site conditions. Interested parties can access electronic bid specifications at no cost or obtain paper bid sets for a $100 refundable deposit through American Document Solutions. The project requires comprehensive documentation, including a Bid Form, Proposed Subcontractors Form, and various compliance evaluation forms to be submitted as a single PDF file.

The solicitation includes specific diversity participation goals, requiring vendors to meet 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 10% Women Business Enterprise (WBE), and 3% Service Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation targets. Bidders must demonstrate good faith efforts to meet these diversity requirements and provide appropriate certification documentation. While the total project value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving solar array installation, lighting upgrades, and roof replacement—suggests a significant investment in modernizing the Trenton FMS and RC facility. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who successfully meets all technical specifications, compliance requirements, and diversity participation goals. Notably, the solicitation emphasizes electronic submission through MissouriBUYS, with no hard copy bids accepted, and requires adherence to specific COVID-19 safety protocols during the pre-bid meeting, including facial coverings and social distancing.
