The State of Missouri's Office of Administration - Facilities Management, Design & Construction (OA-FMDC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation, number H1901-01, for upgrading HVAC systems and controls at the Administration & Multipurpose Building of the W.E. Sears Youth Center located in Callaway County. The project specifically involves comprehensive upgrades to the existing HVAC infrastructure and control systems for the facility. Electronic bid submissions are required via the MissouriBUYS platform, with bids due on October 7, 2021, at 1:30 PM CDT. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 13, 2021, at 1:00 PM at the W.E. Sears Youth Center. Interested bidders can obtain electronic bid sets at no cost or purchase paper bid sets for a $100 deposit through American Document Solutions. The solicitation requires bidders to submit multiple documents, including a Bid Form, Proposed Subcontractors Form, MBE/WBE/SDVE compliance forms, and an Affidavit of Work Authorization. All documentation must be uploaded as a single PDF file through the MissouriBUYS system.

The solicitation includes specific diversity participation goals, requiring 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), 10% Women Business Enterprise (WBE), and 3% Service Disabled Veteran Enterprise (SDVE) participation. Bidders must submit a bid bond or cashier's check for 5% of the base bid, payable to the Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction.

The procurement appears open to all vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and diversity participation requirements, with a focus on creating opportunities for minority, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.
