MasticationUnitmaps_M09.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 division 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 additional 527.1 acres within the Triangle Uplands area. The work must be completed between October 9th, 2026 and February 28th, 2027, with contractors required to remove trees using bullhog-type equipment to restore the treatment units to a mosaic pattern of varying densities with scattered untreated leave islands. A mandatory site visit is not required prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project site to familiarize themselves with conditions that may affect project costs. The IFB is limited to prequalified contractors on the current Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list, and contract award is anticipated to be made to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

The specific map document provided illustrates the geographic location and layout of the mastication treatment units within the Triangle Uplands project area. Vendors must guarantee pricing through project completion, and all costs associated with equipment operation, labor, and materials must remain fixed throughout the contract term. No renewal options are specified, and the contract represents a single award for completion of the defined work scope during the stated performance period.
