West Desert Guzzlers Helicopter Lift 2026.shx

This file pertains to 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 supporting a guzzler tank installation project across the Central Region. The project involves transporting seven new guzzler tanks, apron materials, and fencing materials via helicopter to multiple drop locations spanning five wildlife management areas: Levan, Hobble Creek, Timpanogos, Little Sahara Sand Dunes, and Tintic Valley. The work is scheduled in two phases, with three locations receiving deliveries by September 18, 2026, and the remaining two locations receiving deliveries between November 2 and November 20, 2026. The contractor must provide both helicopter lift services and a ground crew to support the operation.

The evaluation process will be based on objective criteria outlined in the RFQ, with quotes assessed for responsiveness and compliance with all specified requirements. Vendors must submit a single primary bid, as multiple or alternate quotes will not be accepted. The contract award will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid received. Prospective bidders may protest any exceptions to or deviations from the RFQ specifications in writing to the Division of Purchasing prior to the closing date. The State reserves the right to solicit additional quotes through various methods permitted under the Utah Procurement Code and applicable administrative rules.
