About this opportunity

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Parks and Trails Division, is soliciting bids for a portable restroom service contract covering Public Water Access (PWA) sites in Aitkin, Crow Wing, and Mille Lacs counties. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide rental, placement, and service of both standard and ADA-compliant portable restrooms across 34 approved sites for two seasons, spanning May 2024 through October 2025. Contractors must handle delivery and setup of restroom units no later than 4:00 pm before the spring walleye fishing season opener, with complete removal required within two days following each service period's conclusion. Key requirements include possessing a valid MPCA License and appropriate insurance coverage. The bid evaluation will prioritize the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications, with the State reserving the right to award items separately, by grouping, or in total. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal by April 17, 2024, with a mandatory electronic Price Schedule upload in Excel or PDF format. Potential bidders can arrange a site visit by contacting Keri Hull at 218-203-4447 for additional details and site-specific information.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Pricing must comprehensively include all associated costs, including labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, and applicable taxes. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract allows for potential expansion, with an additional 10 sites considered for future award. The DNR will be the final arbiter of vendor specification compliance, and contractors experiencing registration or submission challenges can contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the service—covering multiple counties and numerous sites over two seasons—suggests a potentially significant contract value. Bidders must submit a complete Price Schedule with unit pricing, and the State maintains discretion in determining the most advantageous award approach, which could involve partial or total contract allocation based on submitted proposals.
