This is a GIS file associated with an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources, USWFS, and BLM for the Atchee Ridge Fuel Break Bullhog project. The solicitation seeks qualified contractors to provide wildlife habitat improvement and wildland fire hazard reduction services by mechanically removing and shredding standing live and dead pinyon and juniper trees, saplings, and brush using wheeled or tracked mechanical mulcher/shredder/masticator equipment across 260.4 acres located on Indian Spring and Augisi Ridges, Book Cliffs, and Spring Ridge. The project must be completed by November 30th, 2026, with performance commencing upon contract award. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site to assess general and local conditions that may affect contract costs, with the understanding that failure to conduct such inspection will not constitute grounds for claims after award. The IFB anticipates a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

Participation in this solicitation is limited exclusively to prequalified contractors currently listed on the approved/prequalified vendor list, and submission by non-prequalified vendors will not be accepted. The vendor must guarantee its pricing through project completion, and all costs must remain fixed regardless of circumstances arising during the performance period. The file provided appears to be a GIS shapefile (.sbn format) containing geospatial data related to the project boundaries and scope area, supporting the technical specifications for the fuel break project.
