Questions and Answers Supply and Delivery of Certified Weed-Free Alfalfa Hay

Yosemite National Park

1. Is the alfalfa hay going to be used for feed or bedding?

Answer: Feed for horses and mules.

2. Please confirm if you are looking for square or round bales.

Square bales not to exceed 150 lbs.

3. Who was the previous awardee?

Answer: Macedo Hay Company

4. The shortest trailer length is 48 feet for the semi that will haul the hay. In reference to the last sentence in the specifications, will this then be an issue?

In reference to the sentence, “Travel Restrictions on Route 140. All vehicles are restricted to 45 feet total length on CA State Route 140 into the park. Updated road conditions are available at the California Department of Transportation website. Permits for longer vehicles must be approved on a case-by-case basis by Caltrans.”

Answer: As stated in the above sentence, permits for longer vehicles must be approved …. by Caltrans. Furthermore, there are two alternate routes into the park, CA State Route 120 and CA State Route 41, that do not have these restrictions. Either get the required permit for CA State Route 140 from Caltrans at dot.ca.gov, or use one of the alternate routes.
