Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - St. Paul District is requesting proposals from contractors to prepare a site and move a historic 2-story farmhouse from Moorhead, MN to the Pioneer Village site at the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion grounds near Rollag, MN. The contractor will be responsible for final site preparation, grading, and seeding. The project requires the contractor to move the farmhouse intact and place it on a foundation at the new site. The contractor must also pour two additional foundations for historic cabins. The project has a scheduled site visit on May 20, 2026, and attendees are requested to wear PPE and bring flashlights. The estimated magnitude of construction is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
Some key points to consider for this project include:
• The farmhouse is a historic 2-story rectangular wood-frame structure built in 1874.
• The farmhouse must be moved from its current location by the end of the 2026 construction season.
• The site must be clear of equipment and hazards for the full week preceding and the week following Labor Day weekend 2026.
• The contractor must submit a detailed project timeline, a summary of recent and relevant experience, past performance references, and a separate price proposal.
• The contract will be solicited as a 100% small business set-aside.
