Dense Gravel and 3" Minus Breaker Run - Black River State Forest

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking competitive bids for the procurement of dense gravel and 3" minus breaker run materials to support trail and forest road maintenance at Black River State Forest. This procurement opportunity requires vendors to not only supply the specified aggregate materials but also handle delivery and on-site spreading at the forest location situated at W10325 Hwy. 12 in Black River Falls. The solicitation was officially posted on October 1, 2021, with bid submissions due by November 8, 2021, providing potential bidders approximately five weeks to prepare and submit their proposals. While specific technical specifications for the gravel and breaker run are not detailed in the provided documentation, the primary objective appears to be maintaining and improving ATV trails and forest roads within the state forest. Vendors will need to demonstrate capability to provide high-quality aggregate materials and execute precise delivery and spreading services at the designated location.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations, suggesting the procurement is open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and logistical requirements. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements that might impact bidder qualifications. Similarly, the document does not outline a specific budget range or estimated contract value for the materials and associated delivery services. The procurement is specifically linked to Jefferson County (FIPS Code 55055), though the actual work will be performed within Black River State Forest. Potential bidders should carefully review the full bid documentation and be prepared to provide detailed pricing, material specifications, and delivery capabilities to demonstrate competitiveness in this state forest maintenance contract opportunity.
