This Request for Quotes (RFQ) is issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources to procure helicopter lift services for the Central Region Guzzler Lift project. The project involves transporting seven new guzzler tanks, apron materials, and fencing materials via helicopter to multiple drop locations across five wildlife management areas: Levan, Hobble Creek, Timpanogos, Little Sahara Sand Dunes, and Tintic Valley. The project is divided into two phases, with three locations requiring completion by September 18, 2026, and the two remaining locations to be completed between November 2 and November 20, 2026. The RFQ requires submission of responsive and responsible quotes evaluated on lowest cost basis, with vendors permitted to submit only one primary bid; multiple or alternate quotes will not be accepted.

The evaluation of quotes will follow the objective criteria outlined in the RFQ and comply with the Utah Procurement Code. Vendors must submit quotes that meet all specifications identified in the RFQ documentation, and any exceptions or protests regarding the RFQ content must be submitted in writing to the Division of Purchasing prior to the closing date. The State reserves the right to solicit additional quotes through email, phone, or other methods permitted under the Utah Procurement Code or applicable Administrative Rules. The contract will be awarded to the vendor submitting the lowest cost quote that meets all responsiveness and specification requirements.
