Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System by December 6, 2023, at 2:00 PM CST. Evaluation criteria will focus on determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing to be provided as firm, fixed unit prices per ton, delivered FOB destination. Vendors must specify their quarry location and conform to the 2022 Missouri Standard Specification for Highway Construction, with MoDOT reserving the right to inspect materials and apply deductions for non-compliance.

Liquidated damages of $250 per day per item may be assessed for late deliveries, and belly dump deliveries are prohibited unless specifically authorized by the district. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the solicitation indicates that vendors must provide detailed information about their maximum aggregate supply capacity. Though no explicit budget range is provided, the total procurement value for the approximately 19,908 tons of trap rock will be determined by the unit pricing submitted by responsive bidders.
