7-RQS 2754 049 BLACKHORSE AND BIG PARK AERIAL SEEDING PT 4 (1).pdf

This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) document issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for aerial seeding services. The project involves applying seed aerially across approximately 991 acres located in the Book Cliffs of Uintah County, Utah, as part of fuel break initiatives at two sites: Black Horse Ridge and Big Park. The contractor must furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals necessary to complete the aerial seeding work. No mandatory site visit is required prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site to familiarize themselves with general and local conditions that may affect performance costs. The contract anticipates a single award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Black Horse Ridge aerial seeding must be completed by October 18, 2026, and Big Park aerial seeding must be completed by October 25, 2026. The vendor must guarantee its pricing through project completion.

The IFB does not specify detailed pricing terms, set-asides, or incumbent contractor information within the available documentation. Bidders are responsible for developing cost proposals that account for all labor, equipment, materials, and logistics required to execute the aerial seeding across the two designated sites within the specified completion deadlines. Vendors must ensure their pricing remains fixed and guaranteed throughout the duration of the contract work, regardless of any changes in operational costs or market conditions that may occur between bid submission and final project completion.
