Used Road Tractor (REBID)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking competitive sealed bids for one used road tractor through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with solicitation number IFB605CO20001652. The procurement requires a specific used road tractor with detailed technical specifications, including a day cab configuration, tandem axle, minimum 425 HP diesel engine, 12,000 lb minimum front axle GVW, 40,000 lb minimum rear axle GVW, 10 or 13 speed transmission, and a 2017 model year or older vehicle with no more than 550,000 miles. The tractor must be fully operational and ready for immediate use upon delivery to MoDOT's facility located at 2309 Barrett Station Road in Ballwin, Missouri. The bid evaluation will utilize a point-based system considering price (45 points), truck condition/mileage (35 points), truck options/features (10 points), and availability/proximity of dealer parts/service (10 points). Bids are due by February 4, 2020 at 2:00 PM CST, with the bid opening beginning January 27, 2020 at 10:30 AM CST. The contract will be awarded within two days of the bid closing to the vendor submitting the "lowest and best" bid.

While most of the documentation does not specify explicit set-aside requirements, one version of the solicitation encourages 10% Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and 5% Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation through various business arrangements such as subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. No incumbent vendors are identified in the procurement documents. Vendors may submit multiple units for consideration and must provide comprehensive documentation including make, model, year, mileage, technical specifications, options, and pictures with their bid response. The procurement appears to be funded through MoDOT's general procurement budget, and the agency reserves the right to reject any or all bids. Pricing must be submitted as a net delivered firm price, with all delivery, handling, and other charges included, and MoDOT will not accept additional surcharges beyond the submitted bid price.
