AM27-113 Wood West II Herbicide - Bid Results

This document contains bid results for a Request for Quotes (RFQ) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources. The procurement sought qualified vendors to provide multispectral survey services and aerial herbicide application in Iron County, Utah. The project comprises two line items: a multispectral survey of approximately 1,200 acres and aerial herbicide application for up to 800 acres, with specifications detailed in the Scope of Work (Attachment B). Two vendors submitted quotes for evaluation, which were assessed based on responsiveness and compliance with the specifications outlined in the RFQ, with the award granted to the vendor submitting the lowest overall cost.

AeroAG Solutions LLC was selected as the award recipient with a total cost of $35,980.00, substantially underbidding the competing proposal from SafeChem Pest at $70,180.00. AeroAG Solutions LLC's pricing structure included $4.75 per acre for the multispectral survey (totaling $5,700.00) and $37.85 per acre for aerial herbicide application (totaling $30,280.00). The competing bid from SafeChem Pest quoted $13.25 per acre for the survey ($15,900.00) and $67.85 per acre for herbicide application ($54,280.00). The significant price difference of $34,200.00 between the two bids reflects substantial variation in vendor cost structures for these specialized aerial services.
