This document is the Specifications and Terms for a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for Northeast Region Winter Site Preparation. The RFB seeks bids for all labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, and incidentals necessary to perform mechanical site preparation on approximately 270 acres across 4 sites within the Two Harbors DNR Forestry Area located in Cook and Lake Counties. All responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal by the due date, and the DNR will be the determining factor if a vendor meets the specifications. The award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting the specifications and all terms and conditions, and the State reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping items, or by total.

The RFB requires unit pricing to include all costs such as labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, sales tax, use tax, and all else necessary for completion of the project. Direct Pay Permit 1114 does not apply to this project. Responses that do not comply with the solicitation will be considered nonresponsive and will be rejected.
