Type III Moveable Barricades

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) have issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) seeking qualified organizations to provide Type III Moveable Barricades. The procurement seeks two specific barricade types: 50 four-foot barricades and 475 eight-foot barricades, which will be provided on an as-needed basis. The contract period runs from the date of award through September 30, 2019, with bids due by October 12, 2018 at 3:00 PM CDT. The solicitation requires bidders to provide firm, fixed pricing for both MASH and NCHRP 350 compliant barricades, with all freight and delivery costs included and FOB destination. Evaluation criteria include an "All or Nothing" basis, with the contract awarded to the lowest responsive bidder. Delivery requirements specify 24-hour advance notice and delivery during normal working hours (7:30 AM - 4:00 PM Monday through Friday), with potential liquidated damages of $100 per day per item for late deliveries.

The IFB encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to participate and access full solicitation details. The contract allows for cooperative purchasing by Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities, enabling them to potentially leverage the awarded pricing. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the estimated quantities suggest a significant procurement value. MoDOT reserves several key rights, including the ability to inspect materials at the point of manufacture, storage, or destination, and to increase or decrease quantities as needed. The solicitation also permits MoDOT to obtain similar products from alternative manufacturers if deemed in their best interest, providing flexibility in the procurement process.
