About this opportunity
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) for conference facilities to host a Wastewater Treatment Basic training event from December 10-12, 2024. The procurement seeks a venue within the seven-county Twin Cities Metro area that can provide comprehensive services including room rental, catering, audio-visual equipment rental, and lodging accommodations for up to 86 attendees. Required deliverables include a general session room, breakout rooms, registration area, dining facilities, and technical support capabilities. The event requires a fully equipped conference space with necessary technological infrastructure to support a professional training environment.

The RFB includes provisions for preference considerations for targeted business groups, specifically offering a 12% preference for veteran-owned businesses and a 6% preference for eligible DEED/DHS providers. Certified small businesses that are majority owned and operated by veterans may claim the preference, and the state will consider economically disadvantaged and minority-owned businesses during evaluation.
