EPA grant seeds

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Wildlife Division is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an EPA Grant to obtain various native grass and forb seed species. The RFP outlines the requirements for the purchase of these seed types, including quantities, packaging, delivery timelines, and invoicing/payment terms. The seeds will be used for wildlife habitat restoration projects across multiple jurisdictions in Michigan, including Ingham County and the City of Lansing. Bidders must be able to provide the full requested quantity of each seed type and submit separate pricing for each species, with all costs included. Proposals will be evaluated based on the vendor's relevant experience, ability to meet the technical requirements, and proposed pricing. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder that provides the best overall value. Proposals are due by August 2, 2023, and the anticipated contract start date is August 7, 2023.

There are no set-asides identified in the RFP, and the current incumbent is unknown. Funding for this project is provided through an EPA grant to the Michigan DNR Wildlife Division. The value of the contract is not specified, but it is expected to fall within the typical range for a procurement of this nature.
