7-Award Memo.pdf

This is an Award Memo issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing and General Services regarding contract award notifications for the Wasatch Front/Parleys Watershed Restoration Project, FY26 WRI #7772, Lop and Scatter services solicitation. The Division of Wildlife Resources conducted the procurement for lop and scatter services covering up to 89 acres in Salt Lake County. This invitation for bid was limited to pre-qualified contractors only, with no mandatory site visit required. The project performance period is scheduled from April 15 through June 15, 2027. The procurement methodology specified that the contract would be awarded to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, with pricing determined on a per-acre basis. Vendors were required to guarantee their pricing through project completion.

The Award Memo indicates that the intended awardee is identified in accompanying award documentation available on the public purchasing website. The memo emphasizes that awarded vendors must not begin work, purchase materials, or enter into subcontracts until both the recipient and the Division of Purchasing and General Services execute a contract or purchase order. Receipt of the award notification does not constitute a contract; only an executed purchase order or signed contract creates a binding agreement. Any protests of the award decision must be submitted to the Procurement Officer in writing within seven days of notice issuance, clearly identifying the solicitation and detailing the nature of the protest. Vendors would receive notification of next steps via phone or email following the award announcement.
