This is a geospatial projection file supporting a Request for Quotes (RFQ) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources. The project involves aerial herbicide application across 4,541 acres located in Juab, Tooele, and Utah County as part of post-fire land management efforts. The file contains coordinate system specifications using NAD 1983 UTM Zone 12N projection parameters, which define the geographic boundaries and mapping framework for the West Desert aerial herbicide treatment area. The RFQ seeks a single responsive and responsible vendor to provide herbicide services on a lowest-cost basis, with quotes evaluated according to objective criteria outlined in the procurement documents and in compliance with the Utah Procurement Code.

The procurement process requires vendors to submit a single primary bid with no alternate or multiple quote options; any exceptions to the RFQ specifications must be protested in writing to the Division of Purchasing prior to the closing date. The State reserves the right to solicit additional quotes through email, phone, or other methods permitted by Utah procurement regulations. The geospatial projection file supports accurate mapping and delineation of the treatment area, ensuring bidders and contractors can properly assess project scope and plan operational logistics for the aerial application across the three-county region.
