This is a Pesticide Application Report exhibit related to a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Request for Bid (RFB) for the Rushford TSI-TIS Project in Fiscal Year 2027. The project requires contractors to provide labor, licensing, equipment, mobilization, materials, herbicides, disposal, cleanup, reporting, and all associated services necessary to control designated invasive plant and undesirable tree species across approximately 83.5 total acres distributed among two separate bid groups. Work methods include cutting and herbicide hand-application techniques such as basal bark, cut-stump, and foliar applications. Interested contractors must submit responses electronically through the Swift Portal and may contact project supervisor Angela Yuska at 507-259-5827 to schedule a site visit. The State reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping, or in total, whichever is deemed most advantageous.

Unit pricing must be all-inclusive, incorporating labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, sales tax, use tax, and all other costs necessary for project completion. The award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications and terms and conditions, with responses that do not comply with the solicitation considered nonresponsive and subject to rejection. Direct Pay Permit 1114 does not apply to this project. Contractors requiring assistance with Swift Portal registration or bid completion may contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1. Vendors are responsible for reviewing all attachments and complying with all requirements specified in the solicitation.
