About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking bids for refuse and recycling services at Frontenac State Park through Solicitation #2025-812, with a two-year contract term from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The procurement requires a contractor to provide garbage and recycling collection services using 2 cubic yard containers across multiple park locations, including shop/service areas, picnic area parking lot, and campground. Service frequency will vary between peak season (estimated July 1-October 31 and May 1-June 30) with weekly pickups, and off-season (estimated November 1-April 30) with monthly or on-call pickups, totaling approximately 52 pickups during peak season and 12-13 pickups during off-season. Interested vendors must submit electronic bids through the Swift Portal by May 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a mandatory requirement to complete the provided Excel Price Schedule detailing unit prices for each service location and container type. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications, with the DNR serving as the final determiner of vendor compliance. Potential bidders are encouraged to contact Project Supervisor Amy Jay at 651-299-3002 for a site visit and can seek technical assistance from the Contractor Assistance Help Desk at 651-201-8100, Option 1.
The solicitation encourages participation from small businesses, including those owned by minorities, women, veterans, or located in economically disadvantaged areas. Vendors can claim preferences for being a Minnesota Resident Vendor or a Veteran-Owned Small Business, and must provide proof of insurance as part of their submission. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract requires strict compliance with state waste management regulations, invasive species prevention protocols, and pollinator habitat management guidelines. Bidders must include all costs in their unit pricing, encompassing labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, and miscellaneous expenses, with taxes to be added separately at the time of award. The state reserves the right to adjust container numbers and pickup frequencies, and to award the contract separately by items, groups, or total value, whichever is most advantageous. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive pricing schedule suggests the contract will cover comprehensive waste management services for the entire state park over the two-year term.
