Wastewater Vacuum and Disposal Services

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), specifically the Kansas City District, is seeking multiple vendors to provide Wastewater Vacuum and Disposal Services through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 605KC21000597. The procurement will cover wastewater vacuum and disposal services for MoDOT maintenance car washes and striping operations' paint water holding tanks at various locations within the Kansas City District. Services include pumping/vacuuming wastewater from car wash and paint holding tanks, and disposing of waste liquids and solids. The contract will be awarded to multiple vendors with annual firm fixed pricing, with an initial contract period from the Notice of Award through October 31, 2021, and two optional one-year renewal periods. Pricing will be structured as line items, including per-gallon rates for liquid waste disposal, per-trip vacuum truck stop fees, charges for solids waste vacuum services, and energy/fuel surcharges. Bids are due by October 29, 2020 at 3:00 PM CDT, and vendors must be registered on the MissouriBUYS Statewide eProcurement System. Services must be performed during normal business hours, with at least one business day's advance notice, and a MoDOT representative must be present during service delivery.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific participation goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) businesses are also encouraged to participate. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$3,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability (with the same limits), and Missouri Workers' Compensation insurance. The contract allows for cooperative purchasing by Missouri counties, cities, and other political entities. Payment terms are net 30 days, with full payment made after completion of service per location and receipt of a correct invoice. Single invoices per location are required, with no partial payments permitted. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the contract's structure suggests a potentially significant opportunity for vendors capable of providing comprehensive wastewater vacuum and disposal services across multiple MoDOT locations in the Kansas City District.
