Unit 3 Map.pdf

This is a project map document related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing, with the State of Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Land serving as the conducting procurement unit. The project, designated JH27-123, involves wildland fire hazardous fuels reduction across approximately 79.75 acres of land along the I-15 right-of-way. The specific map depicts Unit 3, comprising 9.5 acres of the total project area, and indicates the UDOT (Utah Department of Transportation) right-of-way boundary with reference markers for Microsoft and Vantor locations. The scope of work requires contractors to perform hand cutting and chipping of live and dead Pinyon Pine, Juniper trees, and saplings, with all labor, equipment, supervision, transportation, operating supplies, and incidentals to be furnished by the contractor. No mandatory site visit will be held prior to bidding; however, potential bidders are strongly encouraged to inspect the project area to assess site conditions that may affect contract costs. The project must be completed by March 31, 2027, and it is anticipated that the IFB will result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor.

Participation in this solicitation is limited to prequalified contractors currently listed on the Pre-approved/Pre-qualified Vendor list, and any vendor not on this list is prohibited from submitting a bid. The contractor must guarantee its pricing through project completion. Failure to conduct a site inspection prior to bidding does not constitute grounds for claims after contract award. The project is located in Utah and involves fuel reduction work within state transportation rights-of-way to mitigate wildland fire hazards.
