Summary

This file is a geographic mapping document (KMZ format) related to the Cherry Fire Rehabilitation project conducted by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing in coordination with Wildlife Resources and BLM land management. The file contains spatial data delineating the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for archaeological survey work on Tribal Land Association (TLA) and private lands affected by the Cherry Fire that occurred in June 2026 in the Cherry Creek area of Juab County. The archaeological survey represents the core service requirement, with the project scope encompassing both public BLM land and non-federal properties impacted by the fire event. The procurement is structured as an invitation-only event requiring vendors to maintain current status on the State of Utah's approved vendor list for archaeology. Vendors must submit responsive bids that remain firm throughout the entire project duration, with contract award anticipated to go to the highest scoring, responsive, and responsible vendor according to the established AVL for Archaeology scoring methodology.

The geographic information contained in this KMZ file provides the spatial framework necessary for qualified archaeological firms to accurately scope work, assess site conditions, and develop comprehensive proposals for the cultural resources inventory. The mapping data enables bidders to understand the geographic extent of the APE across multiple land ownership categories, facilitating precise cost estimation and project planning. No specific information regarding pricing structures, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract term lengths is contained within this spatial data file, which serves primarily as a technical reference document supporting the procurement process.
