This is a project description document for the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for wildlife habitat improvement services at Oak Springs Phase 1 near Koosharem, Utah. The project involves mechanical removal and shredding of standing live and dead pinyon and juniper trees and saplings using wheeled or tracked mechanical mulching/shredder equipment (mastication) across approximately 663 acres. The work is scheduled to be performed between October 15, 2026, and April 1, 2027, with a project performance period of 168 days. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the site independently to familiarize themselves with site conditions that may affect contract costs. The IFB is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Participation in this solicitation is restricted to prequalified contractors currently listed on the State of Utah's Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list.

The vendor must guarantee its pricing through project completion. Specific pricing terms, funding sources, and amounts are not detailed in the provided file summary. No set-asides, incumbent information, or renewal options are mentioned. Contractors should note that failure to inspect the site will not constitute grounds for claims after contract award, emphasizing the importance of due diligence during the pre-bid phase.
