About this file
This is a Qualification Form attachment for a solicitation issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the Deer River Spring Invasive Species Treatment project (Solicitation 2026-839). The DNR seeks contractors to broadcast treat herbaceous invasive species including parsnip, spotted knapweed, common tansy, and various thistle species across approximately 156.6 acres of right-of-way access within Koochiching and Itasca Counties. All bid responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal, with no email or faxed submissions accepted. Contractors requiring assistance with registration or response completion may contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1. The solicitation emphasizes that vendors must review all attachments and comply with all requirements, with the DNR serving as the determining factor for specification compliance. All questions should be directed to the designated buyer for the event.
The qualification form requires all respondents to meet specific mandatory requirements before their bids will be considered. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of two years' experience in broadcast forest herbicide application or roadside and rights-of-way application using ground equipment, while on-site herbicide applicators must have minimum one year of experience with ground equipment application. All contractors and applicators must be able to identify target invasive plants in their early summer growth stage. Additionally, each applicant must possess a current license from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to commercially apply herbicides, specifically MN Category A plus G or J, or equivalent certification, with proof of licensure required at bid submission. The unit price must include all costs encompassing labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, and applicable taxes. The award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications and terms, with the State reserving the right to award items separately, by grouping, or by total as deemed most advantageous.
