5-BD27-109 Official Bid Results.xlsx

This is an Official Bid Results document for an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of Wildlife for the Forsyth Fire Seed project. The procurement solicited delivery of 19,600 pounds of bulk Pure Live Seed (PLS) with a mandatory delivery date of October 1st, 2026. No site visit was held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders were strongly encouraged to inspect the site independently to assess conditions affecting contract performance. The IFB anticipated a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, though multiple awards were possible if the lowest bidder could not supply the entire seed quantity. The contract methodology specified that if the lowest bidder could not provide the full weight requirement, the remainder would be offered to the second-lowest bidder. The contract term extends through delivery by October 1st, 2026, with the vendor required to guarantee pricing for the duration of the contract.

Two vendors submitted bids for this procurement: AV Seeds submitted a unit price of $2.50 per pound of Pure Live Seed for a total cost of $49,000.00, and Granite Seed Company submitted a unit price of $1.75 per pound for a total cost of $34,300.00. Granite Seed Company was the lowest responsive bidder at $34,300.00 for the required 19,600 pounds of seed. Both bids were evaluated on a unit price basis with the total cost calculated by multiplying the unit price by the quantity of 19,600 pounds.
