About this file

This is a formal competitive solicitation issued by the Minnesota Employment & Economic Development Agency for lawn care and grounds maintenance services at the St. Cloud CareerForce facility located at 111 Lincoln Avenue SE, St. Cloud, Minnesota. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide four distinct service lines: lawn mowing services, snow plowing with snow removal and salt application, fertilizer applications, and parking lot sweeping. All services are to be performed at a single location over a contract term running from November 16, 2026 through November 16, 2027. The bidding period opens October 21, 2026 at 4:00 PM CDT and closes October 30, 2026 at 3:00 PM CDT. All responses must be submitted electronically through the SWIFT Supplier Portal; fax, email, and non-electronic submissions will not be accepted. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Procurement Coordinator Jennifer Gaul at jennifer.gaul@state.mn.us or 651-259-7101.

Bidders are required to submit unit pricing for each of the four line items as separate lots. The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors, though the state encourages participation from businesses certified under Minnesota's Small Business Procurement Program, including minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and businesses located in or owned by residents of economically disadvantaged counties. Vendors meeting these criteria are encouraged to pursue certification through the Office of Equity in Procurement. The document references standard terms and conditions dated December 24, 2018, which are incorporated by reference. Bidders must be registered in the SWIFT system prior to submission and must upload all required documentation with their bids to avoid disqualification.
