About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a contractor to perform tree removal services at the Agate Bay Perpetual Wildlife Area (PWA) located in Two Harbors, Lake County. The project involves cutting and removing twelve specific trees across 1.8 acres, including six Amur Maple trees (invasive species), five Green Ash trees (Emerald Ash Borer infested), and one Cherry tree. The primary deliverables include cutting the trees, chipping and hauling them to an offsite certified disposal location, and chemically treating the remaining stumps with herbicide. The procurement is structured as a competitive bid opportunity, with responses required to be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal between March 28, 2025, and April 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Contractors must complete the project by May 1, 2025, during the Emerald Ash Borer's dormant season.

Unit pricing must comprehensively cover all project costs, including labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and taxes.
The DNR encourages participation from diverse business enterprises, including those owned by minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Contractors must be registered with the Department of Labor and Industry and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability with specific minimum limits. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates a competitive bidding process targeting the most advantageous proposal. Vendors must follow Minnesota's noxious weed disposal laws and take active preventive measures to minimize invasive species spread, such as cleaning equipment before arriving at the project site. Additional compliance requirements include following terrestrial site management protocols and being prepared to meet all project-specific specifications. Contractors experiencing difficulties with registration or submission can contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1, for support.
