MasticationUnitmaps_M06.pdf

This file is a mastication unit map document related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Wildlife Resources department. The project involves mastication treatments in pinyon/juniper-dominated vegetation units totaling 1,100.3 base acres with an optional 527.1 acres located in the Triangle Uplands in Grand County. Work is scheduled to occur during two periods: November 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027, and August 1, 2027 through September 28, 2027, with no work permitted between March 1 and July 31, 2027 due to wildlife restrictions. The objective is to remove trees using bullhog-type mastication equipment to restore treatment units to a mosaic pattern of varying densities with scattered untreated leave islands. Participation is limited to prequalified contractors only, and while a mandatory site visit will not be held, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the site to assess conditions that may affect contract costs. The IFB is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

The total project budget is $721,079 for all acres, and vendors must guarantee pricing through project completion. The file appears to be a map or visual representation of the mastication units within the Triangle Uplands project area, providing spatial reference for the treatment locations and boundaries that contractors will need to evaluate during their site inspections and bid preparation.
