This is a KMZ file (geographic mapping data) related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands for the Fivemile Pasture and Three Creeks Habitat Improvement and Fuels Reduction Mastication project (JH27-107). The file contains spatial mapping information for tree spacing in the Fivemile line item associated with this project. The project scope involves mechanical removal and shredding of standing live and dead pinyon pine and juniper trees and saplings across up to 2,347 acres using wheeled or tracked mechanical mulching/shredding equipment (Bullhog). No mandatory site visit is required; however, bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site at their own discretion to understand all conditions affecting contract performance. Work must commence as soon as possible following a prework meeting, with a firm completion deadline of April 1, 2027, which cannot be extended due to wildlife habitat timing requirements.

Participation in this solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors on the current pre-approved/pre-qualified vendor list; unqualified vendors are prohibited from submitting bids. The contract anticipates a single award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. No fuel surcharges or price adjustments will be negotiated, and no government-provided materials are included in the contract scope. Vendors must guarantee pricing through project completion. The contract does not include renewal options, and the firm deadline of April 1, 2027 is non-negotiable due to wildlife habitat conservation timing stipulations.
