AS27-107 Oak Springs Phase I and Boobe Hole Aerial Seeding - 2026

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Division of Wildlife Resources and the BLM Richfield Field Office, is seeking a single contract award for aerial seeding services across approximately 2,608 acres in Sevier County. The project is divided into three units: Unit 1 (Oak Springs Mastication Phase I) covering 669 acres, Unit 2 (Oak Springs Harrow Phase I) covering 1,688 acres, and Unit 3 (Boobe Hole Mastication Phase III) covering 251 acres. The contractor is responsible for applying approximately 23,912 lbs of government-provided seed using aircraft equipped with GPS to ensure 100 percent coverage, maintaining a maximum 80-foot seeding swath width. Performance for Units 1 and 2 must begin on or before September 24, 2026, and be completed by October 7, 2026, while Unit 3 must be completed by November 15, 2026. To minimize seed drift, operations should start by 8:00 a.m., and the government may postpone seeding if wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour. The award will be granted to the lowest total cost responsive and responsible vendor, with bids submitted on a cost-per-acre basis. Upon completion, the contractor must provide electronic coverage files in UTM projection North America Datum 1983. Payment is managed by UDWR, with invoices due within 30 days of delivery and payment processed within 30 days of receipt of a correct invoice.
