Walton Street and Jean Street Sidewalks to Schools

The City of St. Clair, Missouri is requesting sealed bids for sidewalk improvements to Walton and Jean Streets under project TAP-5489(615), with bids due August 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. local time. All bidders must be on MoDOT's Qualified Contractor List per Section 102.2 of the current Missouri Standard Specifications for Highway Construction and must have a fully responsive contractor questionnaire on file with the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission at least seven days prior to bid opening — a restrictive pre-qualification requirement that filters eligibility.

The scope includes pavement widening, concrete sidewalk, concrete curb and gutter, concrete approach, asphalt driveway, crosswalk striping, traffic control, and incidental items as described in the Project Manual. The project is located within the City of St. Clair in Franklin County. Federal and state wage rates apply, with the higher rate used when both are required. The DBE contract goal is 0%.

Bid security of 5% of the bid amount must accompany each bid. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids and waive irregularities in the best interest of the Owner with MoDOT's consent.

Questions and project bidding issues must be submitted exclusively via email to mspalding@cochraneng.com by 4:00 p.m. local time on August 13, 2026. Bidders must request bid documents electronically from Becky Toney at btoney@cochraneng.com and be added to the Plan Holders List to receive all addenda and official communications. Sealed bids are submitted to St. Clair City Hall, 1 Paul Parks Drive, St. Clair, Missouri 63077. The City anticipates issuing notice to proceed in fall 2026. Upon contract signing, the successful contractor and any subcontractor must provide a ten-hour OSHA construction safety program for on-site employees within sixty days of beginning work.
