This is a KMZ file (keyhole markup language file used for geospatial mapping) related to 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 project involves wildlife habitat improvement and wildland fire hazard reduction through mechanical removal and shredding of 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. The work must be completed by November 30th, 2026, with contract performance commencing upon award. A mandatory site visit is not required prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly urged to inspect the project site at their own initiative to familiarize themselves with site conditions and general factors that may affect contract costs. No site visit failure will constitute grounds for post-award claims.

Participation in this solicitation is restricted to prequalified contractors currently listed on the Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list. The contract is anticipated to result in a single award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Vendors must guarantee their pricing through project completion, and pricing terms remain fixed through the November 30th, 2026 deadline. The KMZ file provides geospatial mapping data to assist bidders in understanding the project location and scope, supplementing the technical requirements outlined in the IFB documentation.
