(Given all have vast experience trimming barefoot and corrective shoeing/trimming.)

Answer: Yes, any key personnel would need to be named with their listed experience (resume, etc).

Question: I have concerns with 60 head a day.

This is a horse every 10 minutes for a 10 hour day. From what I understand this includes vet work at the same time as the trimming. Has this been completed successfully by other contractors in the past?

Answer: No other work would be done to the animals on the trim days (only trimming). The trim contracts at the Fallon, NV and Bruneau, ID contract facilities which both have trimming contracts, the averages are 50-60 hd/day.

Question: Can the proposal have a set cost at different thresholds? For example X dollars for

1-30 head and another dollar amount for 30 head and over? This would allow for some safeguards in the event the facility had equipment trouble or extended time of a horse in the squeeze for veterinary care.

Answer: Yes, only in case of unexpected chute or

BLM equipment breakdown. This would allow for the contractor to cover travel expense.

Question: Lastly, will this all be done in one or multiple chutes? I ask because that would make a difference in manpower and equipment needed to most effectively get the job done. For example, if we have one squeeze we would have 3 trimmers at all times - 2 trimming and 1 prepping equipment. Where if we¿re running 2 squeezes we would need 5-6 trimmers to maintain a steady pace.

Answer: There is only one chute. Only trimming will done to the horses when the trim contractor is on site. BLM will supply wranglers to operate the chute, load and restrain animals. Trim contractor will only be responsible to trim each animals and provide the necessary equipment for humane proper trimming methods.
