Contractors may submit competitive bids during MoDOT's scheduled lettings. This project is scheduled to be a part of the August 2024 letting. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission will consider all submitted bids at its scheduled monthly meeting in September 2024. If the lowest submitted bid meets all necessary criteria, the MHTC may award contracts at that time.
After the contract is awarded, MoDOT will work with the contractor to determine the construction schedule.
