Type III Movable Barricades

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) have issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Type III Movable Barricades, seeking qualified vendors to provide 4-foot and 8-foot movable barricades on an as-needed basis. The solicitation (IFB605CO20000543) covers a contract period from the award date through September 30, 2020, with two potential one-year renewal options. The barricades must comply with MASH TL-3 standards and MoDOT specifications, with delivery required within 30 days after receipt of order to various MoDOT district locations. Bids are due by September 17, 2019, at 3:00 PM CDT, with vendors required to submit firm, fixed pricing for the initial contract period. The evaluation criteria will focus on determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing to include all associated costs such as freight (FOB Destination). Vendors must also provide a percentage discount off MSRP for replacement parts and accessories, and each delivery must be coordinated with a MoDOT representative at least two business days in advance.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. The procurement allows for cooperative purchasing, enabling Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to utilize the contract. The previous contract (60519CO0457) had approximately $133,000 in spending over one year, which provides a benchmark for potential contract value. The IFB includes provisions for liquidated damages of $25 per day per complete order for late deliveries, not to exceed 20% of the total order amount. Price increases will not be considered during the first six months of the contract period, and any subsequent increases must be justified in writing and approved by MoDOT. The state reserves the right to obtain similar products from other manufacturers if deemed in their best interest, and payment can be made using the state purchasing card. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) vendors may also receive preferences during the evaluation process.
