About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking bids for the 2025-111 DeHaven State Forest Roads Ditch Improvement project located in Aitkin County. The procurement involves comprehensive road and ditch infrastructure work, specifically targeting approximately 500 feet of state forest road. Project deliverables include graveling and resurfacing the road, installing riprap, implementing erosion control blankets, and improving the ditch area through stump and tree removal. Key objectives encompass enhancing road infrastructure and managing environmental erosion concerns. The bid requires comprehensive unit pricing that includes all associated costs such as labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and taxes. Bidders must submit responses electronically through the Swift Portal by August 28, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with no email or fax submissions accepted. The project supervisor, Nicholas Lyytinen, can be contacted at (218) 429-3013 for any questions. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications and contract terms, with the DNR serving as the final determinant of vendor qualification.
While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly highlighted, the solicitation notes that veteran-owned small businesses may qualify for a 12% preference. Contractors must be registered as bidders or suppliers to participate and must comply with prevailing wage requirements, responsible contractor certification, and affirmative action guidelines. A 5% bid bond is required, which will be returned if the successful bidder enters into the contract and provides a performance bond. The project requires a completed Price Schedule in Excel format, and contractors needing registration assistance can contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100. The contract work must be completed by November 1, 2024, with payments made based on actual work completed. The state reserves the right to adjust quantities to match available funds and to award items separately or by grouping, depending on what is most advantageous. While a specific budget range was not provided, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure work suggests a potentially significant project investment.
