Spec 6A Natural Sand

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking a vendor to supply and deliver Spec 6A Natural Sand to two specific locations in Northeast Missouri: Center and Bowling Green. The procurement requires approximately 1,800 tons of sand to be delivered to the Center maintenance building and 1,500 tons to the Bowling Green maintenance building, totaling 3,300 tons. The solicitation is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) numbered IFB605NE24000900, with a bid period open from November 9, 2023, to November 27, 2023, at 1:00 PM CST. The material must meet Section 1002 quality requirements for Fine Aggregate, with specific gradation requirements ranging from 100% passing through a 3/8" sieve to 0-3.0% passing through a #200 sieve. Deliveries must be a minimum of 250 tons per day, with no deliveries permitted on weekends or holidays unless specifically authorized, and vendors must provide at least two business days' notice before initiating delivery.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also encouraged to participate. The contract will be awarded on an "All or Nothing" basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing to include all delivery costs (FOB Destination). Payment terms are Net 30 days, to be made in full after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice. Liquidated damages of $250 per day per item may be assessed for late deliveries. The contractor must maintain adequate liability insurance, naming the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT as additional insureds. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the total material quantity of 3,300 tons suggests a substantial procurement opportunity for qualified vendors.
