This project layout document supports an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for aerial seeding services on the Cottonwood Fire project. The IFB seeks a single contract award to provide aerial seeding services for approximately 54,303 acres according to the detailed Scope of Work provided in Attachment B. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site to familiarize themselves with general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance. Failure to conduct a site inspection does not constitute grounds for claims following contract award. The contract must be completed by November 20, 2026, and the vendor must guarantee its pricing through project completion.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. The vendor is required to guarantee pricing throughout the duration of the project to ensure cost certainty through the November 20, 2026 completion deadline. This procurement represents a commitment by the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to restore approximately 54,303 acres through aerial seeding operations in response to fire damage, with the selected contractor responsible for all services necessary to complete the project within the specified timeframe and budget constraints.
