Trap Rock

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Northeast District is seeking a vendor to supply and deliver 1,400 tons of 1/4" Trap Rock (Crushed Porphyry Aggregate Only) to their Elsberry location in Northeast Missouri. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with solicitation number IFB605NE24001108, with a bid period running from December 5, 2023 to December 20, 2023 at 1:00 PM CST. The Trap Rock must meet specific quality and gradation requirements outlined in Section 1003 (Grade A Aggregate Only) of the Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, including being dark or near black in color, free of mud and debris, and having an LA abrasion rating of 22 or less. Delivery requirements include a minimum of 250 tons per day, with no deliveries permitted on weekends or holidays unless specifically authorized. The award will be made on an "All or Nothing" basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with all unit prices to include delivery costs (FOB Destination). A MoDOT representative must be present for all deliveries, and vendors must provide 2 business days advance notification before delivery.

The procurement 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 Enterprise (SDVE) participation is also encouraged. The contract includes provisions for the Domestic Products Procurement Act, with a 10% price preference for qualifying domestic products for purchases over $25,000. Payment terms are net 30 days, with full payment made after complete delivery and receipt of a correct invoice, and no partial payments will be allowed. Liquidated damages of $250 per day per item may be assessed for late deliveries. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the total quantity of 1,400 tons of Trap Rock suggests a significant procurement. Vendors must be registered with the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System to submit bids electronically, and MoDOT reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities as needed.
