Questions from the walk through for solicitation 12639526Q0284
1. Are permits required?
Yes
2. Are we looking for an all-in-one price?
Your pricing must include a complete breakdown of the key elements making up your lump-sum price.
3. Where are power and water located?
Electric and water can be run from structures adjacent to the proposed pens.
4. In the training area, do we want alley ways in between the pens?
Yes
5. Are we re-using the current covered area structure?
This question regards the training chute area location. Currently there is a concrete pad covered with a steel roof. The chutes will be built under this covered area, leaving structure intact.

7. Does the area need to be covered?
Only the shelter structure needs to be covered.

Wire filled tubular to prevent goats from escaping.
