Spec 5 Aggregate

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking a vendor to supply and deliver Spec 5 Aggregate, specifically limestone snow and ice control chips, to seven maintenance locations in Northeast Missouri. The procurement involves approximately 2,075 to 2,475 tons of aggregate to be delivered to Lancaster, Memphis, Wayland, Edina, Canton, New Cambria, and Shelbina between May 29, 2024, and June 12, 2024. The aggregate must meet precise gradation requirements, including 100% passing a 3/8" sieve, 0-85% passing a #4 sieve, and 0-10% passing a #10 sieve, with strict adherence to the 2023 Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. Deliveries must be a minimum of 250 tons per day, with no deliveries permitted on weekends or holidays unless specifically authorized. The bid will be awarded on an "All or Nothing" basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with bids due by June 12, 2024, at 1:00 PM CDT through the MissouriBUYS electronic system. Pricing must be a firm, fixed unit price per ton that includes all delivery costs, with delivery terms specified as FOB Destination.

MoDOT strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE) are also encouraged to participate and may receive preference. The contract includes provisions for liquidated damages of $250 per day per item for late deliveries, and vendors must provide comprehensive liability insurance naming the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT as additional insureds. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the total contract value appears to be between $250,000 and $350,000 based on the estimated tonnage and typical aggregate pricing. Payment terms are net 30 days after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice, with no partial payments permitted. The solicitation is open to vendors who can meet the technical specifications, delivery requirements, and administrative conditions outlined in the comprehensive Invitation for Bid (IFB) documents.
