Filter 10 Media Replacement

The City of Independence, Missouri is soliciting bids for the removal of existing filter media and the supply and installation of new filter media at Filter No. 10, as part of a public works project. All work must be performed on-site within the city limits, and bidders are required to provide all equipment, materials, and labor necessary to complete the task in compliance with state and federal regulations. The solicitation, numbered 26039, was posted on July 21, 2026, and bids must be submitted electronically through the PublicPurchase.com portal by 7:00 PM on August 26, 2026; paper, fax, or email submissions will not be accepted. The contract type is a supply and service agreement, with no specified contract value or pricing structure provided, but contractors must adhere to Missouri’s prevailing wage laws, paying laborers at rates established by the Department of Labor for classifications such as electricians, plumbers, operating engineers, and truck drivers, with overtime paid at time and a half and Sunday or holiday work at double time. Bidders must submit affidavits affirming compliance with the Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act, acceptance of all contract terms without exception, and enrollment in the federal E-Verify program to ensure lawful employment practices. Additionally, a payment and performance bond is required to guarantee faithful performance, payment to all laborers and suppliers, and adherence to all contractual obligations, with the bond remaining valid through any amendments or extensions without notice to the surety. The contractor is also required to warrant all work for one year after acceptance, ensuring the installation is free from defects, and must conduct inspections at the project site, with acceptance tied directly to the successful completion of the job. No specific packaging, marking, or shipping requirements are detailed, and there are no formal evaluation factors, weights, or award methodology outlined in the solicitation, suggesting the award is likely based on lowest price technically acceptable, though not explicitly stated. Bidders must also ensure all required forms are completed and uploaded, and while no Unique Entity Identifier or CAGE code is referenced, compliance with Missouri state contracting procedures governs participation. Questions regarding the bid must be submitted online through the portal, and a virtual pre-bid meeting is available for clarification via Microsoft Teams.
