The State of Utah Division of Purchasing is seeking bids for construction work involving the preparation and installation of water control structures at the Blackhawk Wildlife Management Area (WMA) through Invitation for Bid (IFB) NC26-7. The procurement is specifically for wildlife infrastructure improvements, with a mandatory site visit required for all potential bidders to participate in the bidding process. The project is anticipated to result in a single contract award to the lowest cost responsive and responsible vendor, with an expected completion date of mid-October 2025. Vendors must attend the mandatory site visit detailed in Attachment B (Scope of Work) and guarantee pricing through project completion. The bid submission deadline is August 15, 2025, with critical evaluation criteria likely focusing on technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with the detailed scope of work. Key deliverables appear to center on constructing water control structures that will enhance wildlife management infrastructure in the designated area.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, the procurement suggests a standard competitive bidding process open to qualified contractors capable of executing complex wildlife management infrastructure projects. The contract does not appear to have specific restrictions on vendor type, though technical competence and site visit attendance are mandatory. The bid files include an official and unofficial bid table, indicating potential budget ranges and cost considerations for the project. Attachment A provides standard terms and conditions for goods and services, which will govern the contractual relationship. The procurement documents include a sign-in sheet for the mandatory site visit and quality assurance documentation, suggesting rigorous pre-qualification and project oversight mechanisms. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the extensive documentation and mandatory site visit indicate a significant infrastructure investment by the State of Utah for wildlife management area improvements.
