Used Oil Services

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking bids for Used Oil and Antifreeze Services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with solicitation number IFB605KC18000612. The procurement involves comprehensive recycling and disposal services for used oil and antifreeze collected from MoDOT facilities, with vendors required to provide pickup, transportation, and proper recycling of these materials. Key deliverables include responding to service requests within 5 business days, providing 24-hour advance notice before pickups, and completing collections between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Vendors must submit per-gallon pricing for both used oil and antifreeze recycling services and provide documentation including a Missouri Department of Natural Resources transport license, EPA identification number, and a certificate of insurance with minimum coverage of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence for general and automobile liability. The bid responses were due on October 2, 2017 at 2:00 PM CDT, with the initial contract period running from the Notice of Award through September 30, 2018, and three additional one-year renewal options available.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation with a 10% goal and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation with a 5% goal, demonstrating a commitment to diversity in vendor selection. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) participation is also requested, though no specific percentage is mandated. Vendors must be registered on the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full solicitation details and submit bids. The contract includes cooperative purchasing provisions, allowing Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities to potentially utilize the resulting contract pricing. While no specific incumbent vendor is identified, the solicitation allows for price increases during renewal periods, with vendors required to justify and obtain approval for any proposed increases up to a maximum specified percentage. Though no explicit budget range is provided, pricing will be evaluated on a per-gallon basis for used oil and antifreeze recycling services, with the award going to the lowest and most responsive bidder meeting all qualification requirements.
