About this file

This is a Prime Contractor Response Qualification Form for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) solicitation 2026-501, Warroad Area Road Grading. The project involves grading State Forest roads in the Warroad Forestry Area located in Beltrami, Roseau, and Lake of the Woods Counties. The estimated scope includes approximately 200 miles of forest road grading at approximately 500 hours per year, though quantities are not guaranteed. All responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal, and the State reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping items, or by total, whichever is deemed most advantageous. The award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting the specifications and all terms and conditions.

To qualify as a prime contractor for this solicitation, responding companies must meet three qualification requirements: (1) the company must have been in business under its current business name or Federal Employer ID Number for a minimum of two years from the solicitation response due date; (2) the company must have completed at least two contracts as a prime contractor (not as a subcontractor) with substantial completion since May 2023 for similar grading work, each with a construction value of at least $15,000; and (3) the operator responsible for the project must have at least 1,000 hours of experience operating a motor grader on projects of similar scope and value of $15,000 or greater. The State reserves the right to contact references and may reject responses if it determines the responder is non-responsible based on factors including project milestone adherence, communication, on-site supervision, coordination of subcontractors, Minnesota prevailing wage law compliance, and payment of subcontractors. Unit prices must include all costs such as labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, and applicable taxes.
