MasticationUnitmaps_M03.pdf

This file contains mastication unit maps for the Triangle Uplands project, prepared by the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The maps delineate treatment units dominated by pinyon/juniper vegetation totaling 1,100.3 acres on a base contract with an optional additional 527.1 acres. The project requires mechanical mastication treatment using bullhog-type equipment to remove trees and restore the treatment areas to a mosaic pattern of varying densities with scattered untreated leave islands. Work is scheduled in two phases: November 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027, and August 1, 2027 through September 28, 2027, with a mandatory work stoppage from March 1 through July 31, 2027 due to wildlife restrictions. No mandatory site visit will be conducted prior to bidding; however, prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the site and familiarize themselves with local conditions that may affect project costs. This solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors on the current approved vendor list.

The total project budget is $721,079 for all acreage, with pricing guaranteed by the selected vendor through project completion. Award will be made to the lowest cost responsive and responsible bidder, resulting in a single contract. The contract term spans from November 2026 through September 2027, with the identified work windows and environmental restrictions. Vendors must demonstrate their qualifications and be included on the State of Utah's pre-approved contractor list to participate in this invitation for bid.
