About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a procurement of five boats through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Specifically, the agency requires one Lund Rebel XL Sport with a 90HP motor and trailer, and four Lund Rebel XL SS with 75HP motors and trailers, or state-approved equivalent vessels. The solicitation covers boat packages to be delivered to DNR facilities in St. Paul and New Ulm, Minnesota, with a required delivery date of May 1, 2025. Vendors must submit responses through the SWIFT Supplier Portal by March 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM CT, with all questions due to Bryan Stusse by February 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM CT. The evaluation process will assess responses in three phases, allocating 100 points for acceptance of state terms and conditions, 900 points for cost and price schedule, with potential additional preference points. Proposals will be evaluated on factors including equipment specifications, comparable quality, style, and performance characteristics, with the State open to accepting alternate specifications that meet their requirements.
The RFP includes provisions for preference points and set-aside opportunities for disadvantaged businesses, specifically offering up to 12% additional points for targeted group, economically disadvantaged, or veteran-owned businesses. Businesses certified as DEED/DHS providers may receive an additional 6% preference points. The contract term is initially set from April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, with the potential to extend up to an additional 24 months in State-determined increments. The estimated total contract value ranges between $135,000 and $165,000 for the initial year, though this is not a guaranteed minimum or maximum. Vendors must complete extensive documentation, including Responder Declarations, Exceptions to Terms and Conditions, Responder Forms (such as Veterans Preference, Workforce Certification, and Equal Pay Certificate), and a detailed Price Schedule. Additionally, awarded contractors will be required to provide manufacturer warranties of at least one year for boats and trailers and two years for motors, with specific requirements for equipment specifications and reporting.
