MasticationUnitmaps_M12.pdf

This document is a mastication unit map 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 treatment services in Grand County. The project requires mastication treatments across pinyon/juniper-dominated units totaling a base acreage of 1,100.3 acres with an optional 527.1 acres in the Triangle Uplands area. The prescribed work involves removing trees using bullhog-type mastication equipment to restore the treatment units to a mosaic pattern of varying densities with scattered pockets of untreated leave islands. The contract performance period runs from October 9th, 2026, through February 28th, 2027, with no mandatory site visit required prior to bidding, although potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the site to familiarize themselves with conditions affecting project costs. Participation in this solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors only, and bidders must not submit if they are not on the current Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list.

The IFB is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, with contractors required to guarantee their pricing through project completion. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding source information is detailed in the available documentation. The file itself appears to be a visual map document depicting the mastication units within the Triangle Uplands project area, serving as a reference for bidders to understand the geographic scope and layout of the treatment areas.
