About this opportunity

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking bids for refuse services at Flandrau State Park through Solicitation #2025-821, covering garbage and recycling service for two fiscal years from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The contract requires a contractor to provide comprehensive waste management services, including labor, equipment, materials, and transportation for collecting and disposing of trash and recyclables from multiple park locations such as the shop, rustic and semi-modern campgrounds, beach house, and group center. Service frequencies will vary seasonally, ranging from bi-weekly to weekly pickups using 2-6 cubic yard dumpsters. Bidders must submit electronic responses through the Swift Portal by May 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a mandatory Price Schedule completion in Excel format. Potential bidders are encouraged to contact Project Manager Maureen Morgan at 507-233-1261 for a site visit, and contractors needing registration assistance can reach the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1. The award will be made to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications, with unit prices required to include all associated costs such as labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and taxes.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though it mentions potential preferences for Minnesota resident vendors and veteran-owned small businesses. Contractors must be properly licensed and comply with local, state, and federal waste disposal regulations, including specific requirements for waste processing, invasive species prevention, and polluter best management practices. Vehicles must be licensed, covered, leak-proof, and meet all waste collection standards. The DNR reserves the right to adjust dumpster quantities and pickup frequencies as needed, including potential additional containers for holiday weekends or special events at contracted rates. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the comprehensive two-year contract covers multiple service locations with varying seasonal requirements. Bidders must submit pricing for all line items in the Price Schedule, with the understanding that incomplete submissions may be rejected. The contract includes provisions for the Minnesota Solid Waste Management fee, which is not to be included in the unit pricing.
