About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking bids for garbage and recycling services at Father Hennepin State Park in Mille Lacs County through a Request for Bid (RFB) solicitation. The procurement is divided into two distinct bid groups: Bid Group #1 for Garbage Service and Bid Group #2 for Recycling Service, which require vendors to provide comprehensive services including labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, and all incidental needs. Specific service requirements include managing 4 cubic yard and 2 cubic yard garbage containers with twice-weekly service from May 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, and weekly service from April 1 to October 31 in 2025 and 2026, as well as managing 95-gallon co-mingle recycling containers with weekly service from May 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest total price per pickup for each bid group, with the DNR reserving the right to award items separately or by total grouping. The bid response deadline is November 22, 2024, with all submissions required to be made electronically through the Swift Portal, and the contract period will run from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026. Contractors needing assistance with registration or submission can contact the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1.
The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the state typically maintains provisions for resident vendors and veteran-owned small businesses. Vendors must comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to solid waste transportation and disposal, including securing necessary licenses and permits. The 17% Minnesota Solid Waste Fee must be included as a separate line item in pricing submissions. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, contractors must demonstrate the capability to provide all necessary equipment and services, including proper container management and disposal processes. The pricing schedule indicates estimated quantities, but actual service volumes may vary. Bidders must complete and upload the provided Excel price schedule, with unit prices that comprehensively cover all associated costs including labor, materials, equipment, transportation, disposal fees, and taxes. Contractors will be required to provide proof of insurance coverage if awarded the contract, and prompt pay discounts are requested as part of the bid submission.
