This file is an exhibit map from a Request for Bids (RFB) issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for brushing and pruning services on state forest roads in the Bemidji area. The project encompasses approximately 124.08 miles of state forest roads divided into two separate bid groups located across Clearwater, Becker, Mahnomen, Hubbard, Beltrami, Itasca, and Koochiching counties. The sand and gravel roads are 14 to 18 feet wide and designed for 25 miles per hour logging and recreational traffic. The map, labeled Exhibit E, illustrates the North Zone overview with state forest roads designated for brushing marked on the map legend, along with various road classifications including DOT roads, interstate trunk highways, U.S. trunk highways, Minnesota trunk highways, county highways, municipal roads, and township or other roads. The solicitation requires all labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, and incidental expenses necessary to complete the work on an as-needed basis.

Bidders must submit responses electronically through the Swift Portal, with no email or faxed submissions accepted. Unit pricing must include all costs encompassing labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, sales tax, use tax, and all other expenses necessary for project completion. The State reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping, or by total amount, whichever is deemed most advantageous. Award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications and terms and conditions. Responses that do not comply with the solicitation requirements will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. Vendors are responsible for reviewing all attachments and complying with all event requirements, and questions should be directed to the listed buyer. The Direct Pay Permit 1114 does not apply to this project.
