The Experience Questionnaire will become part of the evaluation. See attachment: Experience Questionnaire PREWORK CONFERENCE Prior to commencement of work, the Contracting Officer will arrange a meeting with the Contractor to discuss the contract. SCOPE OF CONTRACT The purpose of this contract is to provide winter pasture for government-owned horses and mules for the Spotted Bear Ranger District, Flathead National Forest, Kalispell, MT. For additional information contact Deb Mucklow or Bill Workman, Spotted Bear Ranger District, 406 758-5376 summer or 406-387-3851 winter. PASTURE The Pasture shall provide a safe environment for the stock and be free of hazards such as downed wire or equipment. Prior to award of contract, the Forest Service will inspect the pasture area. Size: Pasture area needs to accommodate 20 - 35 head of stock. Stock maybe broken into separate smaller herds. The Forest Service will negotiate herd's size, and/or split of animals. Fencing: Pasture to be fenced with solid fencing of 3 strand or better barbed or smooth wire or as approved by the Forest Service. If open range, evaluation will be assessed by the Forest Service prior to award of contract. Location: The pasture is required to be within 200 miles of Kalispell city center. Other Stock: The Forest Service would need to approve in advance, placing government stock with other stock - considerations include total number of animals being pastured together, type of stock (boarding with lots of mares could cause issues in a herd of 20 - 35) current health of other animals, and the vaccinations care of the other stock. FEEDING OF STOCK 1. An open water source or mechanical watering sites shall be available all times. 2. Provide daily grazing or feeding of hay or a combination of the two for approximately 20 - 35 head of stock. 3. Salt is available to animals daily. 4. Daily supplemental feeding of oats or barley or a combination of dry 3-way (oats, barley and corn) for 1 - 5 head of stock along with grazing and hay support. The Government will determine those animals that will need to be in this category due to age, weight and ability to keep weight on. This is reflected in Items 1.2 and 2.2. ACCESS TO STOCK Forest Service personnel shall have access to stock at any time with advanced notice of at least one (1) day. UNLOADING AND LOADING FACILITIES Unloading and loading facilities will be available for a 24 foot stock trailer and standard bed stock trucks requiring an approximately 3 foot high loading dock/ramp and access to a catch pen or corral. DELIVERY & PICK-UP OF STOCK Base Period: Item 1, stock will be delivered from anytime in November, 2016, through December 2, 2016, and picked up between April 27, 2017, through May 19, 2017. Option Period One: Item 2, stock will be delivered anytime in November, 2017, through December 2, 2017, and picked up between April 26, 2018, through May 25, 2018. Actual dates for delivery and pick-up will be coordinated in advance. All the animals (20-35) will be pastured for December, January, February, March and April. There could be a portion or all that would be pastured during November and May. Charges for November and May will be calculated on a perentage of the actual time on pasture for the month. (Example if delivered on the 15 of the month then the government would be billed for 50 % of the month.) If the animal is delivered on November 20, (30 days in November) 30 - 20 days equals 10 days on pasture. The Government will be billed the percent of 10 days/30days= 33% monthly rate). The same will apply for May. This would apply to both items. SITUATIONS THAT REQUIRE NOTIFICATION TO FOREST SERVICE 1 When a horse/mule is sick or injured. 2. If an animal is unable to keep weight on and may require daily supplemental feeding (Items 1.2 and 2.2). 3. If an animal dies. The Government will be responsible for disposal of the carcass.
