This is a project map and scope document for the Porcupine Knoll Lop & Scatter project, issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing and conducted by the Division of Wildlife Resources in cooperation with the Manti-La Sal National Forest Sanpete Ranger District. The project requires hand cutting and piling of encroaching conifers across 390 acres in the Twelve Mile drainage within the South Manti Big Game Habitat Restoration area. The map depicts the project location with elevation contours ranging from 6,600 to 8,800 feet, highlighting the Porcupine Knoll area and nearby geographic features including Beaver Creek, North Pine Creek, Clear Creek, and Dandelion Flat. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly recommended to inspect the site independently to assess conditions affecting contract costs. The project performance period extends from the time of award until November 31st, 2026, with vendors required to guarantee pricing through project completion. Participation is limited to prequalified contractors on the current pre-approved/pre-qualified vendor list only.

The procurement is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Specific pricing terms are not disclosed in the available documentation. Vendors must maintain their quoted pricing throughout the contract term with no adjustment provisions noted. The project is funded through the South Manti Big Game Habitat Restoration initiative on federally managed National Forest land, with the Forest Service providing baseline geographic and project information for bidders' reference.
