Specifications include, but are not limited to: This RFP (Solicitation) is to establish a contract(s) with one or more qualified vendors for statewide Courier Services (letters and parcels weighing up to 100 pounds). Although the goal is serving all locations within the State of Minnesota, individual Responders are not required to provide coverage for the entire state. Responders must be specific in stating which service areas and service types they are responding to (refer to Section 4, Supplement 1 for more information and definitions). It is desirable to establish contract(s) with vendors that can provide service to multiple Service Areas, especially those that can provide service between the Eleven-County Twin Cities Metro and other Service Areas. The State intends to have these services available to any State Agency and eligible CPV Members. Services include regularly-scheduled routes, on-call services with defined periods, and coverage of various geographic service areas in Minnesota. Service areas include the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the eleven-county Twin Cities metro area, other major Minnesota cities and regions (particularly those with high concentrations of State agencies) and all locations within Minnesota, for Responders that can cover them effectively.
