About this file
This Scope of Work document, issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing and conducted by the Wildlife Resources division, requests the delivery of approximately 850 boulders measuring 4-6 feet in diameter to support the Silver Meadows Riparian Protection Project. The project aims to protect and restore a 30-acre wet meadow located within the Yellow Lake burn scar on the Wasatch National Forest near Heber City, Utah, by installing these boulders as a perimeter fence to prevent off-highway vehicle intrusion and enhance critical amphibian and wildlife habitat. Contractors must deliver the boulders to a U.S. Forest Service-approved site near the meadow at coordinates 40°30'15.15"N 111°00'37.10"W, with delivery scheduled between May and June 2027, weather permitting; an alternative delivery window of November or December 2026 is possible if weather conditions remain favorable. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding, though potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the site. The contract is anticipated to result in a single award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, and all pricing must be guaranteed for the duration of the project.
Contractors are required to submit photographs of proposed boulders with their bids for U.S. Forest Service approval and must disclose the origin of the boulders while ensuring no cultural resources accompany the rock. Boulders must be fairly clean, meeting the specified 4-6 foot diameter requirement, and the contractor is responsible for verifying that all 850 boulders are delivered to the designated site. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources heavy equipment crew will handle installation, with work scheduled for May 8, 2026. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding amounts are detailed in this Scope of Work document.

ATTACHMENT B - Scope of Work
Solicitation # BD27-123 Project: Silver Meadows Riparian
Protection
1. Introduction
This Scope of Work (SOW) outlines the objectives, tasks, and requirements for the Silver
Meadows Riparian Protection Project.
Objectives and Accomplishments
The primary objective of this project is to protect and restore Silver Meadow—an estimated 30 surface acre wet meadow located within the Yellow Lake burn scar on the Wasatch National
Forest—from human impacts and vehicle degradation, while enhancing critical aquatic and wildlife habitat. Key accomplishments include:
● Perimeter Fencing: Installation of approximately 850 4-6 foot diameter boulders approved by the USFS. These boulders would be placed around the outer perimeter of the meadow to prevent off-highway vehicle (OHV), four-wheeler, side-by-side, and unauthorized off-road vehicle intrusion.
Background and Desired Outcomes
Silver Meadow contains several perennial springs that maintain wet meadow function and abundant water even in extreme drought years. It survived the Yellow Lake fire and serves as a vital amphibian habitat, rare plant habitat and a nesting/rearing area for Sandhill Cranes. The desired outcome is full ecosystem protection from recreational damage, increased breeding capacity for sensitive amphibian species, and heightened public awareness through educational signage.
2. Background
Project Overview
Silver Meadow represents a critical 30-acre ecological refuge within the Yellow Lake burn scar on the Wasatch National Forest. Sustained by several reliable springs, this wet meadow provides persistent aquatic habitat vital for native amphibians—including Columbia Spotted Frogs and
Western Toads—as well as migratory Sandhill Cranes and local mollusk/snail populations.
Protecting and restoring this high-priority riparian area directly supports state and federal wildlife management missions to conserve sensitive species and protect headwater wetland habitats.
3. Scope of Work
General Project Description
The purpose of this Scope of Work is to work with state of Utah purchasing officers to acquire and deliver 850 4-6 foot diameter boulders to create a “rock fence” around Silver Meadows for protection. We will have our Utah DWR heavy equipment crew install/place the rock.
The project area is located at: 40°30'15.15"N 111°00'37.10"W This area is between Heber City and
Hanna on Hwy 35 (Wolf Creek Pass).
4. Requirements
Vendor & Procurement Tasks
• Solicit formal competitive bids for 850 4-6 foot diameter boulders to construct a “rock fence” around Silver Meadow.
• Deliver the boulders to a USFS approved site close to the meadow.
• Delivery of the boulders is subject to weather conditions in the area.
• UDWR heavy equipment crew will be onsite ready to install the boulders on 8th, 2026
5. Compliance & Quality Assurance
a. Contractor will be required to insure total number of boulders are delivered to the site as well as the 4-6 foot diameter size is met.
b. Boulders should be fairly clean and not transport significant amounts of soil from other areas.
c. Photos of boulders should be submitted with the bids to ensure USFS approves of them.
d. Contractor will be required to disclose where the boulders originated and ensure no cultural resources accompany the rock.
6. Project Deliverables
The contractor and project team shall deliver the following quantifiable products:
a. Deliverable 1: Deliver 850 boulders 4-6 feet in diameter to the project site of Silver
Meadows at the date arranged by both UDWR officials and the contracted party.
Delivery date is subject to weather and road conditions in May and June of 2027.
