This Equipment Specifications document is associated with a Summer Gravel Pit Crushing & Stockpiling project issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The project involves clearing, grubbing, excavating, crushing, blending, and stockpiling approximately 15,000 cubic yards of Class 5 aggregate at the Summer Gravel Pit located in the Beltrami Island State Forest in Lake of the Woods County. The solicitation requires bidders to provide detailed information regarding the equipment they will supply for the project, including the make, model, bucket capacity in cubic yards, and ownership status (rent or own) for power shovels, trucks, front-end loaders, and any additional equipment necessary for completion. All responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal, and vendors are responsible for reviewing all attachments and complying with all specified requirements. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is available to interested contractors.

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 DNR reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping, or by total amount, whichever is deemed most advantageous to the State. 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 deemed nonresponsive and rejected. Contractors requiring assistance with registration or bid submission may contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1. Direct Pay Permit 1114 does not apply to this project.
