AtcheeRidge_GIS.prj

This is a GIS project file (NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_12N coordinate system specification) associated with an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing in coordination with the Division of Wildlife Resources, U.S. Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management for the Atchee Ridge Fuel Break Bullhog project. The contract requires mechanically removing and shredding standing live and dead pinyon and juniper trees, saplings, and brush across 260.4 acres located on Indian Spring and Augisi Ridges, Book Cliffs, and Spring Ridge using wheeled or tracked mechanical mulching equipment. The project serves dual purposes of wildlife habitat improvement and wildland fire hazard reduction. Participation in this solicitation is limited to pre-qualified contractors only. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct site inspections to understand general and local conditions that may affect performance costs. The contract performance period extends from the time of award through November 30th, 2026, with the vendor required to guarantee pricing through project completion.

This IFB is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Pricing must be guaranteed by the contractor through the entire project duration. The file itself is a GIS projection file that defines the geographic coordinate system (NAD 1983 UTM Zone 12N with specific parameters including false easting of 500,000 meters, central meridian of -111.0 degrees, and scale factor of 0.9996) used for mapping and spatial reference of the project area.
