About this opportunity
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is soliciting bids for a gravel crushing and stockpiling project located in the Tower state forest pit near Effie, Itasca County. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive site preparation and aggregate processing, specifically clearing and grubbing, excavating, crushing, blending, and stockpiling approximately 15,000 cubic yards of class 5 aggregate. Qualified prime contractors must have completed at least two similar gravel crushing projects valued at $50,000 or more since June 2022, with a project manager and job superintendent each possessing a minimum of two years of experience in comparable projects. The bid responses must be submitted electronically through the Swift Portal by June 18, 2024, at 2:00 PM, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled prior to the submission deadline. Evaluation criteria include compliance with specifications, lowest responsible bid, and the ability to complete all work by October 31, 2024. The DNR reserves the right to award the contract based on the most advantageous proposal, potentially adjusting the project scope based on available funding and the accepted bid.
The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations, but it indicates potential preferences for veteran-owned small businesses and resident vendors. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. Respondents are required to provide a solicitation bond equal to 5% of the bid amount and must comply with prevailing wage requirements and state affirmative action and equal pay certification laws. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project involves processing approximately 15,000 cubic yards of aggregate, which suggests a substantial contract value. Contractors must submit unit prices that include all associated costs such as labor, materials, tools, transportation, equipment, and taxes. No subcontractors are permitted, and successful bidders will be required to provide proof of insurance. The DNR will make the final determination on vendor qualification and specification compliance, with the ultimate goal of selecting a contractor capable of efficiently executing the aggregate processing project within the specified timeframe.
