NC26-31 Gordon Creek Watershed Restoration

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, specifically through its Wildlife procurement unit, is seeking bids for the NC26-31 Gordon Creek Watershed Restoration project, an Invitation for Bid (IFB) focused on implementing Dam Analogs (BDAs) in the Gordon Creek Watershed. The primary objective is to complete a watershed restoration initiative by December 2025, with the intent to award a single contract to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor. Key deliverables include the strategic installation of dam analogs to enhance ecological conditions in the specified watershed area. Vendors must guarantee their pricing through project completion and demonstrate capability to execute the restoration work efficiently. The solicitation was posted on October 6, 2025, with bid responses due by October 17, 2025, and no mandatory site visit is required for potential bidders.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The project appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and performance requirements outlined in the solicitation. While no incumbent vendors were mentioned, the procurement emphasizes vendor compliance with state and federal regulations, including anti-discrimination laws, employment verification systems, and specific insurance requirements such as workers' compensation and commercial general liability coverage of at least $1 million per occurrence. The State of Utah reserves the right to terminate the contract with 30 days' notice if funding changes or legislative acts materially affect the ability to perform. Although a specific budget range was not provided, the procurement suggests a state-funded project focused on ecological restoration with a clear emphasis on cost-effectiveness and vendor capability.
