This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) document issued by the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for forest treatment services in Iron County. The solicitation seeks contractors to provide lop and scatter services across 241 acres and cut and pile services across 37 acres. Participation is restricted to pre-qualified contractors currently listed on the state's Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list for both treatment types. No mandatory site visit is required. The project performance period extends from October 15, 2026, through March 15, 2027, with vendors required to guarantee pricing through project completion. It is anticipated that a single contract award will be made to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, determined on a per-acre pricing basis.

Pricing will be evaluated on a lowest cost per acre methodology. The solicitation does not indicate set-asides for specific contractor categories, incumbent information, or specific funding sources beyond the state's division budget. Vendors must maintain price guarantees throughout the contract term to ensure cost certainty for the state. All prospective bidders must verify their current pre-qualified status for both lop and scatter and cut and pile treatment types before submitting proposals, as submissions from non-qualified contractors will not be considered responsive.
