CottonwoodTLAseeding.zip

This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) document from the State of Utah Division of Purchasing and the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for aerial seeding services related to the Cottonwood Fire recovery project. The project encompasses approximately 54,303 acres requiring aerial seeding services, with work to be completed by November 20, 2026. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site to familiarize themselves with general and local conditions that may impact contract performance costs. Failure to conduct a site inspection does not constitute grounds for claims following contract award. The procurement is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

Vendors must guarantee their pricing through project completion. The solicitation does not specify explicit response or bid submission dates, though the contract must be completed by the November 20, 2026 deadline. No information regarding set-asides, incumbent contractors, specific funding sources, or project budget amounts is provided in the available documentation. The contract pricing must remain fixed throughout the entire performance period, requiring vendors to account for all potential cost variables across the extended project timeline.
