In F.Y. 2016 there were 52 total sawdust deliveries totaling 1525 cubic yards. In F.Y. 2015 there were 56 total sawdust deliveries totaling 1825 cubic yards.

Scope of Work The contractor will deliver sawdust from Pine, Spruce, Douglas Fir, Cedar or Oak for bedding material in the horse stalls. The sawdust will be free of debris such as nails, screws, staples and other items dangerous to animals. Sawdust must be delivered all months of the year, so contractor should have several sources of wood.

The sawdust will be delivered in bulk via trucks. The trucks must be able to deliver between 20 cubic yards and 50 cubic yards depending on the size of the sawdust pit. Each delivery requires a full truck load of sawdust to the designated stable. The use of a self-unloading truck or a walking floor truck is recommended for several sites. Sawdust must be off loaded within the confines of the designated sawdust pit or off loaded and then moved by the contractor to within the confines of the designated sawdust pit. Alternatively, the delivery of a covered 20 - 30 Cubic Yard container, with a side opening allowing wheelbarrow access, offloaded in the designated sawdust pit area will also meet the scope of work requirements. Trucks and containers used for the hauling of manure shall not be used for the delivery of clean bedding.
