This is a First-Tier Subcontractors List attachment form required for the Rice County Observation Well Drilling project (2026-908) managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The project involves installing two groundwater observation wells at Sunktokeca Creek WMA near Faribault, Rice County. Contractors must complete and submit this form prior to contract execution, listing all first-tier subcontractors and suppliers with their legal business names, home office locations, tasks to be performed, and contract dollar amounts. A site visit is available by contacting Project Supervisor Stephen Labuz at 651-295-3390. All bid responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal, with assistance available through the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1.

The form requires certification by an authorized company owner or officer that all listed first-tier subcontractors have verified through signed statements that they meet Minnesota Statutes 16C.285 minimum criteria for responsible contractors. The prime contractor must provide copies of signed verification statements from subcontractors of any tier and motor carriers upon request. The form identifies whether listed subcontractors qualify as Certified Targeted Group Businesses, Economically Disadvantaged Businesses, or Veteran-Owned Businesses. 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. Unit pricing must include all labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, and applicable taxes necessary for project completion.
