MPCA- isco pilot test implementation

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is requesting bids for conducting an In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) pilot test at a contaminated site in Alvarado, Minnesota, with bids due August 21, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. Targeted group businesses, economically disadvantaged businesses, and veteran-owned businesses certified by the State receive a 12% preference in scoring.

The scope encompasses all labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, and incidental services necessary to conduct the pilot test remediation at 100 State Highway 1 NW, Alvarado, Minnesota 56710. The contractor must demonstrate compliance with Minnesota Statutes 16C.285 regarding responsible contractor requirements. Building construction contractors must be registered with the Department of Labor and Industry prior to contract award.

The estimated contract value is $45,000, neither a minimum nor maximum obligation. The contract term runs from August 2026 through October 30, 2026, with substantial project completion required by October 30, 2026. The contractor is responsible for including sales and use tax in all pricing, as the State's direct pay permit does not apply. Surety bond requirements apply only if the response exceeds $50,000. Non-Minnesota contractors are subject to an 8% withholding requirement on cumulative calendar year payments exceeding $50,000, unless an exemption is obtained from Minnesota Revenue.

All responses must be submitted electronically through the SWIFT Supplier Portal; fax, email, and non-electronic submissions will not be accepted. Bidders must enter bid prices directly in SWIFT at the unit line level. Questions are due August 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, directed to Cari LaRose at cari.larose@state.mn.us. The State reserves the right to reject any or all responses, award to single or multiple responders, accept partial offers, or cancel the solicitation.
