About this file

This is a Solicitation Addendum No. 1, dated August 14, 2026, issued by the Minnesota Department of Administration Office of State Procurement on behalf of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for Event No. 2000018489. The addendum modifies the rental solicitation for winter heavy equipment including motor graders, wheel loaders, and dozers needed to support MnDOT operations during snow and ice events throughout Minnesota. The solicitation requests responses from vendors offering rental equipment available statewide, with proposals due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the SWIFT Supplier Portal. The rental term is seasonal, with standard delivery on December 1st and return on or around April 30th each season, though individual districts may require different timeframes. Delivery locations vary by order and will be specified in individual purchase orders. The addendum clarifies that used equipment may be offered provided units do not exceed 1,500 hours at delivery for the first contract term (December 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025 and December 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027) and are deemed acceptable to the customer.

The addendum provides the State's responses to four bidder questions regarding rental term seasonality, delivery points, historical pricing rates, and evaluation methodology. The State confirms that the 2025-2026 rental rates are detailed in Exhibit D Price Schedule and that awards will be made based on best value as determined by the evaluation process outlined in Section 5 of the RFP Contract, with the State reserving the right to negotiate exceptions to standard terms and conditions. The vendor response section details specific equipment requirements for each district location, including estimated quantities, operating weights, horsepower ranges, required specifications, hourly rental costs, minimum monthly hours (50 per month billed seasonally), delivery starting points, and certified repair dealer locations. Hourly rates range from $45 to $165 per unit depending on equipment type and size, with a standard delivery charge of $7.50 per loaded mile with a $750 minimum fee.
