Prescribed Burn

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking qualified service providers to perform a 38.19-acre prescribed fire on the Lauer property enrolled in the Iowa Habitat Access Program. The DNR has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for these services, which must be completed between May 1-14, 2024. Respondents must meet minimum bidder qualifications and provide an all-inclusive, itemized total cost per acre for the prescribed burn. Written questions from respondents are due by October 18, 2023, with the DNR's responses issued by October 19, 2023. Quotes are due by October 20, 2023 at 4:30 PM, and the DNR intends to issue a notice of intent to award on October 23, 2023. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder and will not be exclusive, with the DNR reserving the right to reject any or all bids.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent or contractor is not identified. The RFQ does not provide a budget range, but the payment terms are net 60 days, with potential discounts offered for 15-day or 30-day payment.
