5-BD27-104 Unofficial Bid Results.xlsx

This is an unofficial bid results spreadsheet for a Request for Quotes (RFQ) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Wildlife Resources division for aerial seeding services. The procurement seeks to contract with a responsive and responsible vendor to perform aerial seeding of 983 acres in the Keg Springs area, with work scheduled between October 19 and October 30, 2026. The RFQ evaluation criteria focused on objective specifications outlined in the solicitation, with multiple or alternate quotes prohibited; vendors submitting multiple bids would have only their primary bid accepted. Five vendors submitted quotes for this service.

Five vendors competed for the contract with the following total costs: Ultimate Rotor submitted the lowest bid at $6,920.32 (unit price of $7.04 per acre), followed by Best Kept Lawns of Utah at $7,057.94 ($7.18 per acre), Clark Seed at $16,465.25 ($16.75 per acre), Dark Canyon LLC at $16,396.44 ($16.68 per acre), and Hammond Helicopter LLC at $17,694.00 ($18.00 per acre). A sixth line item in the spreadsheet shows a total cost of $49,150.00 at a unit price of $50.00 per acre, which does not correspond to any identified vendor and may represent an estimate or baseline figure. The evaluation was based on lowest cost as the primary award criterion, consistent with Utah Procurement Code requirements for responsive and responsible bidders.
