Trail Repair & Maintenance Services

The North Dakota Trail Repair & Maintenance Services state contract (Contract #187) provides a comprehensive cooperative purchasing vehicle for trail-related infrastructure services across multiple government entities. The vehicle enables state agencies, higher education institutions, counties, cities, townships, educational entities, tribal agencies, transportation providers, and nonprofit organizations to procure professional trail maintenance and repair services. Eligible projects range from small direct assignments under $10,000 to more complex competitive bidding processes for larger initiatives, with vendors required to support project scoping, strategy development, and precise maintenance interventions.

The contract is currently held by Maxx Excavating LLC (doing business as Trailsource), with an initial performance period from May 22, 2023, to April 30, 2027. The contract includes three potential 24-month renewal options and allows for up to 12 months of additional extension. Geographically covering North Dakota and potentially extending to cooperative purchasing participants, the contract operates as a task order-based agreement with flexible procurement mechanisms. Task order evaluations are structured around project solution (30 points), staff qualifications (40 points), and cost competitiveness (30 points), ensuring a comprehensive and transparent vendor selection process for trail maintenance and repair services.
