5-Lop and Pile.pdf

This is a project map and supporting document for an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, conducted by the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Land, for tree thinning services in the Beaver Creek area near Helper, Utah. The project involves hand cut and pile operations across 216 acres, with work scheduled between April 15, 2026, and June 20, 2026. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the site to assess conditions affecting project costs. Failure to conduct a site inspection does not constitute grounds for claims after contract award. The contract is anticipated to result in a single award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, with contract time unable to be extended due to timing and environmental stipulations.

The accompanying map displays the Beaver Creek and Spring Canyon Road project area at a 1:10,000 scale, indicating 216 acres designated for cut and pile operations across BLM, private, and SITLA (State Institutional Trust Land Administration) lands. Vendors must guarantee their pricing through project completion, and no pricing escalation provisions are mentioned. The contract requirements do not allow for schedule extensions regardless of timing or environmental circumstances, making adherence to the June 20, 2026, completion date a critical contract obligation.
