Aluminum Tank Fabrication

The Missouri Department of Transportation Northeast District is seeking bids for the fabrication and delivery of three aluminum tanks. The tanks must be made of 5052 aluminum, with specific dimensions and features, including handles and linkages to raise and hold the tank lids up, and a prop rod to hold the lids open. The tanks will be used at facilities in Hannibal and Macon, Missouri. The successful bidder will be required to provide pricing and information about their proposed fabrication work, and MoDOT staff will review submitted pricing and information to make an award decision. The award will be made to the "lowest and best" bid response received, considering factors such as delivery time, features exceeding minimum specifications, and additional features offered. Some key points to consider: • The tanks must be fabricated using 5052 Aluminum, with at least 7-gauge 5052 aluminum sheet for the shell and reinforcing angles. • The interior ladder assembly will not be needed, as crews are no longer allowed to get inside the tanks. • The lid must be fabricated using 3003 7-gauge aluminum sheet. • The tanks must be sandblasted and painted MoDOT yellow with Sherwin Williams High Solids Polyurethane. • Vendors may attach schematics to their bid response and should include notes on any proposed differences to these specifications.
