About this opportunity
The State of Minnesota, specifically the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure three Trail Groomer Drags for use in Itasca County, Ramsey County, and St. Paul City. The procurement seeks two standard trail groomer drags and one drag with additional track setters, with specifications requiring 2024 or newer Ultimate "GD 8.6 x 20" models or DNR-approved equivalents. Vendors must submit electronic proposals through the SWIFT Supplier Portal by 3:00 PM Central Time on April 10, 2024, with all questions regarding the RFP to be submitted to Jeffrey Combs via email by April 1, 2024. The state will evaluate responses through a three-phase process, first checking responsiveness and pass/fail requirements, then assessing acceptance of terms and conditions, and finally considering cost. The Trail Groomer Drags will be delivered to DNR Region 2 Headquarters in Grand Rapids and Region 3 Headquarters in St. Paul, with the state reserving the right to negotiate any aspect of the responses, including specifications.
The RFP includes provisions for preference points for targeted group, economically disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses, indicating potential set-aside opportunities for qualifying vendors. Vendors must provide detailed cost quotes and enter total proposal costs into the SWIFT procurement system, with standard state payment terms of Net 30 days after delivery and acceptance. No down payments will be allowed, and the contract period is set from April 15, 2024, to April 14, 2025, with potential extension through amendment. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves three specialized trail grooming equipment units. The state maintains flexibility in the award process, potentially selecting a single vendor or multiple vendors based on the evaluation criteria. Successful bidders must comply with additional submittals, potentially including a Certificate of Insurance, and demonstrate the ability to meet the comprehensive technical specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.
