This document contains the Equipment Specifications Requirements for the Little Falls and Sandstone Areas Forest Road Grading solicitation #2024-743 issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR is seeking bids for routine forest road maintenance, including grading the entire road surface, approximately 18 feet wide, and maintaining a crown of 2 to 3 inches to promote adequate runoff and drainage. The project covers approximately 28.55 miles of roads across four bid groups in Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Sherburne, and Pine Counties. Contractors are required to provide the make, model, year, flywheel horsepower, and blade length of the equipment they will use to complete this contract.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible vendor meeting the specifications and all terms and conditions. The state reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping items, or by total, whichever is deemed most advantageous. Responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal, and a Price Schedule in Excel format must be completed and uploaded. The state will be the determining factor if a vendor meets the specifications, and all questions should be directed to the listed buyer.
