This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) document issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources for lop and scatter services at Red Canyon West. The solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors only, and bidders must be on the current Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list to be eligible to submit proposals. The project involves providing lop and scatter services according to the specifications outlined in Attachment B. There is no mandatory site visit required for this solicitation. The contract performance period runs from October 1, 2026, through December 1, 2027, with all work required to be completed by December 1, 2027. The contract timeline cannot be extended due to wildlife habitat timing stipulations, and no additional time will be granted for winter stoppages or other climatologic or environmental circumstances. No work may be performed between May 1 and August 1 without prior approval due to migratory bird restrictions. It is anticipated that this IFB will result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

The vendor selected for this project must guarantee its pricing through completion of the contract. The specific pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, and other financial details are referenced in the associated attachments and specifications. The restrictive work schedule and environmental constraints, particularly the prohibition on work during migratory bird nesting season and the inability to extend the contract period, are critical considerations for potential bidders in developing their proposals and ensuring project feasibility within the established timeframe.
