The project is part of a solicitation issued by the Minnesota Department of Administration, with a contract size estimated between 800,000 and 1,200,000 dollars. The response deadline for proposals is October 8, 2024. The work is located in Minnesota, and interested parties can contact the primary project representative via email or phone for further details. The project emphasizes compliance with set-aside preferences for targeted groups and aims to enhance infrastructure along the North Shore State Trail while supporting diverse business participation.
