This is a Mastication Unit Maps document related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Wildlife Resources agency for vegetation management services in Grand County. The project encompasses mastication treatments on 1,100.3 base acres with an optional 527.1 acres of pinyon/juniper dominated vegetation in the Triangle Uplands, with work to be performed between October 9, 2026, and February 28, 2027. The objective is to remove trees and restore treatment units to a mosaic pattern of varying densities with scattered untreated leave islands using bullhog-type mastication equipment. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct their own site inspections to assess conditions that may affect contract performance costs. Failure to inspect the site does not constitute grounds for claims following contract award. The IFB anticipates a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

Participation in this solicitation is restricted to prequalified contractors only, and interested parties must verify their status on the current Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list before submitting a bid. The vendor selected for award must guarantee pricing through project completion on February 28, 2027. The maps document provides spatial reference and delineation of the treatment units to support bidders' cost estimation and project planning efforts. Pricing and other specific contract terms, including any set-asides, funding sources, and amounts, are to be detailed in the formal IFB solicitation documents.
