Tanker Trailers

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northwest District issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) seeking two 2027 STE 7000-304 SS tanker trailers with liner, X-ring, and hydraulic pump to transport sodium brine on an as-needed basis. The tanker trailers must meet comprehensive specifications requiring 7,000 US gallon capacity with 43-foot overall length, 12 gauge 304L stainless steel construction, SAF Holland air ride suspension with disc brakes, Meritor Wabco ABS system with roll stability control, eight 11R-22.5 tires, hydraulic pump package, LED lighting systems, and a three-year warranty. Deliverables include delivery of both units within 60 calendar days of purchase order receipt to locations in Tarkio and Albany, Missouri, with pricing on a firm fixed basis and freight costs FOB destination prepaid and allowed. The contract award will be determined solely on a low-bid basis with Net 45 payment terms, and the contract period extends from the date of award through August 1, 2026, with no optional renewal periods. Electronic bid submissions opened April 29, 2026 at 8:00 PM Central Time through MissouriBUYS, with responses due by May 14, 2026 at 1:00 PM Central Time; no pre-bid conference or site tour is scheduled. Vendors must complete all required certifications and exhibits, maintain registration with MissouriBUYS, and be in good standing with Missouri regulatory agencies prior to contract award.

The procurement includes specific set-aside and compliance requirements, including certification of Buy American Act compliance under Missouri's Domestic Products Procurement Act, minority and women business enterprise (M/WBE) participation documentation, Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) preference certifications, and anti-discrimination certifications. Vendors must demonstrate that products are either U.S.-manufactured or qualify under applicable international trade treaties affording them equal status. The contractor must obtain liability insurance naming Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission (MHTC) and MoDOT as additional insureds and provide a delivery schedule at least two business days before shipment initiation. All bids must be submitted by authorized representatives and remain valid for 90 days from bid opening. While no incumbent contractor information, existing infrastructure requirements, or specific budget values are provided in the solicitation documents, the procurement is limited to two units with pricing submitted on a firm fixed basis, making the total award value dependent on individual vendor bids for the tanker trailer package.
