Trail Repair & Maintenance Services

The North Dakota Trail Repair & Maintenance Services state-wide contract (Contract #187) provides a comprehensive procurement vehicle for repair and maintenance services for existing trail infrastructure. The contract is designed to support a wide range of governmental and public sector organizations, including state entities, higher education institutions, counties, cities, townships, public educational entities, governmental boards, nonprofit organizations, tribal agencies, transportation providers, and the International Peace Garden. Services are specifically focused on repairing and maintaining existing trails, with procurement guidelines that vary based on project value: projects under $10,000 can be directly assigned to a vendor from the pool, while projects $10,000 and above require competitive bidding among all pool vendors.

The multi-award vehicle includes three prime contractors: Bitco Inc., Maxx Excavating LLC (doing business as Trailsource), and Phoenix Construction LLC. The contract was initially awarded on May 1, 2023, with a current performance period extending through April 30, 2027, and options for two additional 24-month renewals and a potential 12-month extension. Geographically, the contract covers North Dakota and allows optional participation across multiple jurisdictional levels. The contract is structured as a cooperative purchasing contract under North Dakota Century Code, with task orders and change orders determining specific project compensation, and no pre-established pricing due to the variable nature of trail repair and maintenance projects.
