About this opportunity

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for observation well drilling services in Carlton County, specifically near Cromwell at the Red Clover Wildlife Management Area. The procurement seeks a licensed and registered well contractor to install one groundwater observation well into consolidated bedrock formations using air driven/air hammer drilling methods. Contractors must be registered with the Minnesota Department of Health as a Well Contractor and are required to provide all labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, and incidentals necessary for legal and correct well installation. The project specifications mandate the use of air hammer drilling with potential NSF-approved drilling foam additives, explicitly prohibiting conventional mud rotary drilling due to the area's dense crystalline bedrock. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal by May 21, 2024, with no email or fax submissions accepted. The DNR will award the contract to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications, reserving the right to award items separately or by total grouping to maximize state advantages.

The solicitation includes provisions for potential vendor preferences, specifically mentioning veteran-owned and small business opportunities. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly detailed, contractors must comply with prevailing wage and affirmative action requirements. A 5% solicitation security is mandatory for bids exceeding $50,000, and a Surety Bond form is included with the procurement documents. Bidders are required to complete a comprehensive Price Schedule with 18 line items covering mobilization, drilling, casing, well completion, and additional services like standby time and borehole sealing. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, vendors must include all costs in their unit pricing, including labor, materials, transportation, equipment, sales tax, and use tax.
