MasticationUnitmaps_M15.pdf

This file 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 agency for vegetation treatment services in Grand County. The project involves mastication treatments across pinyon/juniper-dominated units covering a base acreage of 1,100.3 acres with an optional additional 527.1 acres in the Triangle Uplands. The work scope includes removing trees using bullhog-type mastication equipment to restore treatment units to a mosaic pattern of varying densities with scattered untreated leave islands. The project performance period runs from October 9, 2026, through February 28, 2027. 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 after contract award.

Participation in this solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors on the state's current Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list. The procurement is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Vendors must guarantee their pricing through project completion. The file provided appears to be a map document supporting the IFB, likely illustrating the geographic location and boundaries of the mastication treatment units in the Triangle Uplands area, though specific pricing, funding sources, or set-aside information is not detailed within the map file itself.
