This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for lop and scatter forest management services on the Clarks Valley project site. The project encompasses 1,137.6 acres of forestland managed by the Bureau of Land Management Price Field Office, with work specifications including full removal across 190.8 acres and thinning at collar height across 946.8 acres. All work must be completed between October 12, 2026, and November 30, 2026, with contractors required to work diligently and complete all activities before the November 30 deadline or risk contract termination. No mandatory site visit is required, and no bidders' conference is scheduled. The solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors only, and award will be made to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

Pricing must be guaranteed through project completion, and contractors must account for potential winter weather conditions that may restrict site access. Extensions beyond the November 30, 2026 deadline are possible only with prior approval from the Project Manager and only if weather conditions permit. The State of Utah has emphasized that contractors should prioritize completing work before snow falls to avoid operational delays. No information regarding funding sources, set-asides, or incumbent contractors is provided in the available documentation.
