3. Please specify the number of local trips to BLM site the Contractor will be expected to make on an annual basis. There will be a minimum of two (2) trips to the BLM Site, please separate your trip cost from your total cost of your proposal. This is necessary to look at all vendors proposals equally, because some vendors may be from other states and their cost would be more than a vendor who is locally, so please separate your travel in the actual cost proposal.
