The State of Minnesota is seeking a contractor for year-round grounds, lawn, and snow services at a St. Cloud state facility.
- **Government buyer:** State of Minnesota, Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED); the Office of State Procurement is also referenced. One attachment identifies the Department of Revenue, so the buyer agency is inconsistent across the documents. The work location is 111 Lincoln Avenue SE, St. Cloud.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No OEMs, product brands, or service vendors are named. Jennifer A. Gaul is identified as a procurement contact. Equipment may be an approved equivalent where specified.
- **Lawn and lot services:** 22 lawn mowing services, 4 fertilizer applications, and 1 parking-lot sweeping service. The detailed scope describes mowing and fertilizing during the growing season and includes spring sweeping and waste removal.
- **Snow and ice services:** Weather-dependent plowing and snow removal for the parking lot, sidewalks, entrances, and emergency exits; ice control using de-icer and sand; hand shoveling and snowblowing; spring sweeping; optional lot flushing; and snow-pile hauling when directed.
- **Equipment and pricing units:** The schedule requests hourly rates for a skid steer/front-end loader, wheel loader, 4x4 pickup with plow, dump truck with plow, grader with blade, hopper-style sander truck, salt/sanding machine, hand labor, and a street sweeper 8 ft 6 in to 10 ft wide with 3–4 cubic-yard capacity. Ice-control materials are priced by ton for machine application and per 10-pound application for hand use; flushing is priced per service, and snow-pile removal per cubic yard. Snow-service quantities are not specified.
- **Notable service requirements:** Begin snow removal when accumulation exceeds 1 inch or drifting interferes with normal facility use; complete plowing and ice control before 7:00 a.m. on normal business days. Use a 3:1 sand-to-salt mixture that meets Minnesota road-salt specifications. The contractor must provide qualified staff, equipment, and materials, have at least two years of snow-removal business experience, and carry required insurance.
- **Term:** One-year base period, with an option for up to one additional year. Lawn work is seasonal; snow equipment and materials must be available during the snow season.
