About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking bids for garbage and recycling services at St. Croix State Park, located near Hinckley in Pine County, for a two-year contract period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) that requires a contractor to manage waste disposal for the park, which includes servicing fourteen dumpsters of various sizes (seven 2-yard, five 4-yard, two 6-yard containers) and one 8-yard recycling container. Key deliverables include estimated annual service of 3,000 cubic yards of refuse, approximately 72 park trips per year, and recycling dumpster pickups with seasonal variation in service frequency. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through the Swift Portal by April 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with unit prices that comprehensively cover labor, materials, transportation, equipment, and taxes. The evaluation criteria focus on selecting the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications, with the DNR reserving the right to award items separately or by total bid. Contractors must possess a Solid Waste Hauler License and comply with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations.
The solicitation includes provisions encouraging participation from diverse business enterprises, specifically highlighting opportunities for minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and disability-owned businesses. While no specific set-aside percentages are mentioned, the DNR demonstrates a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. The bid allows for Minnesota Resident Vendors and businesses located in economically disadvantaged counties to potentially receive preferential consideration. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the documentation. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but bidders will quote prices for three specific line items: loose cubic yards of refuse, trips to the park, and recycling dumpster pickups. Contractors must provide proof of insurance and may offer prompt payment discounts. The contract will be awarded based on the most advantageous bid to the state, with potential flexibility in item grouping and award structure.
