Exhibit_F_Pedestrian_Bridge_Lifting_Guide.pdf

This is a Pedestrian Bridge Lifting Guide exhibit supporting a freight service request for bids issued by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The DNR seeks bids for all labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, and incidental services necessary to load, transport, and unload a 10-foot wide by 70-foot long steel truss pedestrian bridge from Grand Meadow, Minnesota to the shop facility at Frontenac State Park in Goodhue County, a distance of approximately 71 miles. Responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal with no email or faxed submissions accepted. The solicitation requires vendors to review all attachments and comply with all stated requirements, with the DNR serving as the determining factor for whether vendors meet specifications. Contractors requiring assistance with registration or submission can contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1. Failure to respond to the latest event version may result in bid rejection.

Unit pricing must include all costs encompassing labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, sales tax, use tax, and all other expenses necessary for project completion. Direct Pay Permit 1114 does not apply to this project. The State reserves the right to award items separately, by grouping items, 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. Upon successful submission, vendors will receive a system confirmation message that their response has been accepted, which should be printed and saved for their records.
