About this file
This is a Request for Proposals document issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) Parks & Trails Division for a rare plant survey service along the Arrowhead State Trail. The project requires a comprehensive botanical survey of a 6.2-mile corridor segment of the proposed trail re-route, with survey coverage extending 50 feet from the trail centerline on both sides. The surveyed area encompasses constructed trail/road areas, clear cut forests, clear cut re-growth areas, and mixed deciduous/coniferous forest. The survey is intended to identify any rare plant species present before the trail is re-routed and upgraded for all-season ATV use. Responses must be submitted electronically through the SWIFT Supplier portal by August 10, 2026, at 14:00, with a delivery due date of August 15, 2026. The submission period opens July 28, 2026, at 08:00. One unit of the complete rare plant species survey service is being solicited.
The procurement offers opportunities for Minnesota-based small businesses and businesses meeting diversity and inclusion criteria, including those majority-owned and operated by racial minorities, women, individuals with substantial physical disabilities, veterans, or service-disabled veterans, as well as businesses located in or owned by residents of economically disadvantaged counties. Vendors interested in potential Small Business Procurement Program certification should contact the Office of Equity in Procurement at Procurement.Equity@state.mn.us or 651-201-2402. All bidders must register as either a bidder or supplier to participate and must upload all required attachments with their responses to avoid disqualification. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Charles Thomas Schuman at the MN DNR at 218/328-8951 or Charles.Schuman@state.mn.us. Pricing information is to be submitted as the price per unit for the complete survey deliverable.
