2027-262_ADDENDUM_1.pdf

This is an addendum to the specifications for a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for Solicitation No. 2027-262, Mound Prairie SNA Woody Removal. The project involves the mechanical and chemical removal and treatment of buckthorn and other specified woody species on approximately 30 total acres within Mound Prairie Scientific and Natural Area over the course of two seasons. The original bid opening date of October 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM remains unchanged. Prospective bidders may schedule a site visit by contacting the Project Supervisor, Nick Partington, at 651-706-3576. All bid responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal, with the vendor responsible for reviewing all attachments and complying with all event requirements. Bidders must respond to the latest version of the project event to acknowledge Addendum 1.

Addendum 1, prepared on September 22, 2026, addresses Exhibit E: Project Specifications by clarifying that five maps previously included in the Specifications & Terms document have been uploaded separately to the Event Comments and Attachments link to maintain their geospatial properties. No substantive changes were made to the Specifications & Terms document itself, and the original maps remain in that document. Unit pricing must include all costs associated with labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, sales tax, use tax, all herbicide, licensing, fees, incidentals, and all other expenses necessary for project completion. The award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications and terms and conditions, with the State reserving the right to award items separately, by grouping, or by total as deemed most advantageous.
