The contract period runs from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, with pickup schedules varying seasonally: twice weekly (Tuesdays and Thursdays) from July 1 to October 15 and May 16 to June 30, transitioning to an on-call basis from October 16 to May 15. Bidders must submit electronic responses through the Swift Portal by April 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a total estimated bid quantity of 6,080 cubic yards.

Contractors must provide per cubic yard pricing and exclude taxes for waste, environmental, county, city, and state services from their bid rate.
The solicitation encourages participation from diverse business types, including opportunities for businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. There is a potential 12% preference for certified veteran-owned small businesses, with bidders required to provide proof of insurance and permitted to offer prompt payment discounts. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the DNR will provide dumpsters and be responsible for their repair and replacement. Contractors must comply with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations and prevent invasive species spread. The state reserves the right to award items separately or by grouping, with the ultimate goal of selecting the most advantageous bid. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, bidders should anticipate largest waste volumes in June, July, and August, with an average of 80 yards per pickup.
