MasticationUnitmaps_M07.pdf

This is a mastication unit map document supporting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Wildlife Resources department for vegetation treatment services in Grand County. The project involves mastication treatments across pinyon/juniper dominated units totaling a base acreage of 1,100.3 acres with an optional 527.1 additional acres in the Triangle Uplands area. The treatment objective is to remove trees using bullhog-type mastication equipment to restore a mosaic pattern of varying densities with scattered untreated leave islands. The project performance period runs from October 9th, 2026 through February 28th, 2027. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct their own site inspections to evaluate conditions affecting contract performance costs. Participation in this solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors only, and failure to inspect the site will not constitute grounds for claims after contract award.

The IFB is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Vendors must guarantee pricing through project completion. Specific information regarding bid submission deadlines, award dates, pricing terms, and detailed unit maps are contained within the referenced file documentation. The project is funded through the State of Utah Wildlife Resources department and represents a standard procurement conducted under state purchasing regulations.
