This file is a project specification document for the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, specifically related to the Oak Springs Mastication Phase 1 project (BD27-114). The project involves wildlife habitat improvement through mechanical removal and shredding of standing live and dead pinyon and juniper trees and saplings across approximately 663 acres near Koosharem, Utah. The work will be performed using wheeled or tracked mechanical mulching/shredder equipment during the period of October 15, 2026, through April 1, 2027, with a project performance duration of 168 days. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the site to assess general and local conditions affecting performance costs. The solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors only, and failure to inspect the site will not constitute grounds for claims after contract award.

The procurement is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Vendors must guarantee their pricing through project completion. This Invitation for Bid (IFB) does not specify explicit pricing terms, set-asides, or funding sources within the project specification document itself; however, contractors should note that participation is restricted to those on the current pre-approved/pre-qualified vendor list maintained by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing.
