4-Award Memo.pdf (1).pdf

This is an Award Memo issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing and General Services regarding the South Canyon Spring Fence Welding Project administered by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The project involves upgrading existing fencing for habitat protection at South Canyon Spring in the Book Cliffs area, specifically requiring welding of two rungs of succor rod to 300 existing drill pipe posts. The contractor is required to provide only welding and torch equipment for the work. The Request for Quotes (RFQ) was evaluated based on objective criteria outlined in the solicitation, with award intended for the responsive and responsible vendor submitting the lowest cost quote. The memo confirms that the intended awardee information is contained in accompanying award documentation available on the purchasing website's Supporting Documentation section.

The memo establishes that no awarded vendor may begin work, purchase materials, or enter into subcontracts until both the recipient and the Division of Purchasing and General Services execute a contract or purchase order. The receipt of the award notification does not constitute a binding contract; only an executed PO or signed contract creates a contractual obligation. Vendors are advised that any protests of the award decision must be submitted in writing to the Procurement Officer within seven days of the notice issuance, with the protest clearly identifying the solicitation and detailing the nature of the objection. All vendors who responded to the solicitation are thanked for their participation, and bidders will be contacted via phone or email regarding next steps in the contracting process.
