The project involves removal of invasive woody vegetation through hand-cutting, stump-treating, piling, and burning across approximately 30 acres of prairie. The solicitation is a rebid with the bid opening date extended to January 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Prospective contractors must submit responses electronically through the Swift Portal.

Qualification requirements mandate that prime contractors must have substantially completed at least two verifiable contracts of cut/stump herbicide treatments for vegetation control or similar scope within the past 24 months, with a minimum contract value of $150,000 per project and minimum treatment of 15 acres of invasive species. Contractors must provide project references including property owner contact information, project acreage, contract dollar amounts, and substantial completion dates. Additionally, contractors must hold a current Minnesota Commercial Pesticide Applicators License (Categories A and J) and must not have been found in default or had a contract terminated for cause within the past 36 months. The State reserves the right to contact references and verify contractor responsibility based on project milestones, communication, on-site supervision, coordination, prevailing wage compliance, and subcontractor payment history.
