LOG PILE to be AUCTIONED
The City of Duluth is accepting bids for a log pile until Tuesday, September 15, 2026 by 2:00 PM CT.
If interested, please submit one lump sum bid for approximately 9 cords comprised of approximately 90% Ash and 10% silver maple and other species. Must submit for all cords, no partial bids will be accepted. See below image.
Successful bidder is responsible for loading and removing all wood for which they won the bid by Thursday, October 1, 2026 or the bid may be awarded to the next highest bidder. A commercial log truck or similar is required, no trailers. The City of Duluth does not help load the wood.
If the successful bidder would like the cord loaded and delivered, the charge would be $2/mile. The City log truck holds about 4.5 cords, requiring two trips to deliver, so total mileage would be 2x.
Access to the site is restricted. Contact the City Forester at cchristenson@DuluthMN.gov to make arrangements in advance to view the woodpile and to haul awarded material.
Bidders are hereby notified that sales tax of 8.875% will be added to the price of the purchase.
The logs are located at 110 N. 42nd Ave West, Duluth. Questions should be emailed to purchasing@duluthmn.gov.
Because these cords are composed of approximately 90% ash, Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) quarantine restrictions apply. These restrictions regulate the movement of ash wood and other regulated materials to help prevent the spread of EAB to other areas of Minnesota.
Please review the applicable quarantine guidelines at: https://www.mda.state.mn.us/emerald-ash-borer-quarantine
Interested bidders who need to hire hauling services can find a business with that equipment through the Minnesota Loggers Education Program: https://www.mlep.org/assnfe/CompanyDirectory.asp
Bids may be emailed to purchasing@duluthmn.gov, or mailed or dropped off at Purchasing, City Hall, 411 W. 1st St., Room 120, Duluth, MN 55802. If emailed, use ‘Log Pile August 2026’ in the subject line of your email. If mailed or dropped off at City Hall, write ‘Log Pile August 2026’ on the front of the envelope. Regardless of the method of delivery, it is the bidder’s responsibility to ensure the bid includes bidder contact information and is received prior to the bid deadline.
