6-Goshen Fire GPDF.pdf

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 aerial herbicide application services on state trust lands. The project encompasses the aerial application of Plateau Herbicide across 2,431 acres located on State of Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) properties distributed across Millard, Juab, Utah, and Tooele Counties. The herbicide treatment is associated with six fire restoration projects: Tower, Wild Goose, Iron, Cherry, Goshen, and Stookey. No mandatory site visit is required for interested bidders. The contract must be completed by October 15, 2026, with vendors required to guarantee their pricing for the entire project duration.

This procurement is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Pricing must be guaranteed throughout the project term to ensure cost certainty for the state. The project is driven by fire restoration objectives on state trust lands, with the aerial application methodology allowing efficient coverage of the geographically dispersed acreage across multiple counties. As a competitive sealed bid process, the contract award will be based on cost compliance and vendor responsibility factors rather than technical scoring.
