This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) document issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing in coordination with the Division of Wildlife Resources, U.S. Forest Service (USWFS), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for wildlife habitat improvement and wildland fire hazard reduction services. The project involves the mechanical removal and shredding of standing live and dead pinyon and juniper trees, saplings, and brush across 260.4 acres located at Indian Spring and Augisi Ridges, Book Cliffs, and Spring Ridge using wheeled or tracked mechanical mulcher/shredder/masticator equipment. Work must be completed by November 30th, 2026, with the contract performance period extending from the time of award through the completion deadline. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site to understand general and local conditions that may affect project costs. Failure to conduct a site inspection does not constitute grounds for post-award claims. Participation in this solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors only, and bidders must be listed on the current Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list.

The IFB anticipates a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Vendors must guarantee their pricing through project completion. No information regarding specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding sources, or contract amounts is detailed in this file excerpt.
