Planting, Tree and Shrub

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) is seeking a contractor to purchase, transport, and hand plant a total of 12,500 shrubs and 350 trees across four different planting areas totaling 23.1 acres at the Douglas Creek Tree Mitigation Area. The contractor will be responsible for obtaining the required tree and shrub species from the South McLean County Soil Conservation District and following specific planting guidelines and requirements outlined in the bidding documents. NDDOT staff must be present at the beginning of the planting operation to approve the process. Bids must include unit prices for the shrub and tree planting quantities at each of the four locations, and payment will be based on the total bid price for all the planting work. The contractor must complete the plantings by May 15, 2025 and provide the required insurance coverage, but will not be allowed to subcontract or assign the work without written consent from NDDOT.

The contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the documents do not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The procurement documents do not specify a budget range or anticipated award value.
