Specific DOT Rapid Set Cement

The Missouri Department of Transportation St Louis District has established a single feasible source contract with CTS Cement Manufacturing Corporation of Mexico, Missouri, for the procurement of Rapid-Set DOT Cement in bulk form. This specific material is required for deck and dense overlay patching due to its unique ability to reach 3000 psi within one hour and maintain workability for smooth finished surfaces. The product has been verified as compatible and effective for use in both extreme summer heat and freezing winter conditions. The contract period begins on the date of award and extends through September 30, 2027, with the option for two additional one-year renewals. As part of the procurement process under solicitation MODOT SL 0000000083SL, the vendor must comply with the Domestic Products Procurement Act by certifying the point of manufacture to determine eligibility for Buy American preferences. This agreement ensures the district has a reliable supply of specialized cement tailored to its specific infrastructure maintenance needs.
