This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources for aerial seeding services in Uintah County, Utah. The project encompasses approximately 991 acres across two locations: Black Horse Ridge and Big Park, situated in the Book Cliffs area. The contractor must furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals necessary to aerially apply seed to the designated areas. The Black Horse Ridge seeding must be completed by October 18, 2026, while Big Park seeding must be completed by October 25, 2026. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project sites to familiarize themselves with general and local conditions that may affect contract performance. The IFB is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

The vendor must guarantee its pricing through project completion. The government file includes a detailed map showing the seeding areas, which cover 722 acres across Black Horse Ridge with references to surrounding geographic features including the Uinta Basin, Uinta Mountains, and East Tavaputs Plateau. The map indicates maintained B roads, unmaintained D roads, and relevant administrative boundaries including Bureau of Land Management lands, American Indian reservations, and state lands. The Vernal Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management serves as the primary contact point for the project area at 435-781-4400.
