This is an Equipment-Operator Experience Form for solicitation 2027-120, issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the Excel & Marsh Grove Prairie Bank Woody Removal project. The project involves mowing and mulching standing woody vegetation across approximately 98.0 acres at two Native Prairie Bank locations (Excel 5-1 NPB and Marsh Grove 36-1 NPB). Contractors must submit bids electronically through the Swift Portal, with responses reviewed for compliance with all specifications and requirements. A site visit is available by contacting Project Supervisor Sam Timko at 218-608-0074. The form must be completed, signed, and included with all bid responses; bids lacking the required form may be rejected. The Department reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping, or by total, whichever is deemed most advantageous to the State.
The form establishes mandatory equipment and operator qualifications that all contractors must meet. Required equipment includes a rubber tracked skid steer with minimum 110 gross engine horsepower and 45.0 gpm hydraulic flow, a tracked crawler with minimum 135 gross engine horsepower, and a heavy-duty rotary brush mower (such as Davco/Diamond or equivalent). All equipment must have ground pressure not exceeding 6.0 psi and cannot include conventional wheeled machines. Contractors must employ operators with a minimum of 150 hours of experience operating the specified equipment type. Contractors are responsible for providing appropriate fire safety equipment on-site throughout the project. Unit pricing must be all-inclusive, covering labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, and applicable taxes. Award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications and terms, with the State as the determining factor regarding vendor qualification.
