Wastewater Vacuum and Disposal Services

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) Kansas City District is seeking multiple vendors to provide wastewater vacuum and disposal services for its maintenance car washes and striping operations' paint water holding tanks across its district locations. The Invitation for Bid (IFB605KC24000696) solicits firms capable of pumping, vacuuming, and properly disposing of liquid and solid wastewater from various MoDOT facilities. The procurement requires vendors to provide comprehensive services including liquid waste disposal, vacuum truck stops, and associated energy/fuel surcharges, with pricing requested per gallon of liquid waste and per trip for various service components. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-price, as-needed basis, with an initial term from the Notice of Award through October 31, 2025, and three optional one-year renewal periods. Bids are due by October 30, 2023, at 2:00 PM CDT, and will be evaluated based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s) that meet all mandatory specifications and requirements. Vendors must provide at least two business days' notice before service delivery, and a MoDOT representative must be present during service execution.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) and Service-Disabled Veteran Business (SDVE) vendors are also encouraged to bid. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence), business automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the multi-year, multi-vendor approach suggests significant potential opportunity for qualified vendors. Additional requirements include documentation of enrollment in E-Verify, certification of non-employment of unauthorized aliens, and compliance with the Domestic Products Procurement Act and Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act. Payment terms are net 30 days, with full payment made after completion of services at each location and receipt of a correct invoice, with no partial payments permitted.
