West Desert Guzzlers Helicopter Lift 2026.prj

This is a Request for Quotes (RFQ) issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources for helicopter lift services and ground crew support. The project involves transporting seven new guzzler tanks, apron materials, and fencing materials to multiple wildlife management areas across the Central Region, including drop locations at Levan Wildlife Management Area, Hobble Creek WMA, Timpanogos WMA, Little Sahara Sand Dunes, and Tintic Valley. The project is divided into two phases: three locations must receive deliveries by September 18th, 2026, while the remaining two locations require deliveries between November 2nd and November 20th, 2026. Vendors must submit quotes in compliance with specifications outlined in the RFQ, and only the primary bid from each vendor will be accepted; multiple or alternate bids will not be considered.

Evaluation of quotes will be conducted on the basis of responsiveness and objective criteria as defined in the RFQ, with the contract being awarded to the responsive and responsible vendor submitting the lowest cost proposal. The RFQ is governed by the Utah Procurement Code, and any exceptions to the specifications or content must be protested in writing to the Division of Purchasing prior to the closing date. The State reserves the right to solicit additional quotes through email, phone, or other methods permitted under the Utah Procurement Code and applicable Administrative Rules. The project file indicates a UTM Zone 12N geographic coordinate system aligned with NAD 1983 mapping standards, suggesting precise location data for the drop sites.
