St. Clair Scale House Demolition

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) - St. Louis District is seeking qualified contractors to execute a demolition project for the St. Clair Scale House located at 1032 North Service Rd., St. Clair, MO 63077 in Franklin County. The comprehensive scope of work involves complete demolition of an existing weigh scale building, including removal of the building, scale, footings, concrete driving lanes, curbing, ramps, 32 jersey walls, inspection building, radio antenna, concrete flatwork, two light poles, and flagpole. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 8, 2023 at 9:00 am on-site, with bids due on December 18, 2023 at 10:00 AM CST. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a lump sum basis, with the contractor responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, conducting NESHAP notifications, and properly disposing of materials. Evaluation criteria will focus on total bid cost, contractor qualifications, and ability to complete the project within the specified timeframe. MoDOT will disconnect electric service at the transformer, but the contractor must cap septic and water lines and ensure site restoration to match surrounding grades.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with target participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. A 5% bid bond is required for submission, though no performance bond will be mandated. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability insurance of $500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $500,000/$4,000,000, and workers' compensation coverage. Liquidated damages of $100 per day will be assessed for late completion. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the project is expected to be a short-term demolition contract beginning upon award and concluding by December 18, 2023. The contractor will be responsible for quality management oversight, as MoDOT will not provide daily inspection. All asbestos and lead testing has been completed by MoDOT, reducing potential environmental compliance burdens for the selected contractor.
