KHP NIGHT MUCK REMOVAL, LOADING, AND HAULING
The Kentucky Horse Park anticipates approximately eighty (80) nights of night muck removal services annually. The heaviest months of service are anticipated to be May - August; however, the actual number of nights and timing of services are subject to change based upon the Kentucky Horse Parks event schedule and operational needs. The estimated number of nights is provided for informational and bidding purposes only and does not guarantee a minimum number of nights or services. The contractor shall remove muck (stall bedding shavings and horse manure) from designated muck storage locations within the barn complexes in the event areas of the Kentucky Horse Park. Material shall be loaded and transported to the designated muck disposal area located at the rear of the property behind the Alltech Arena. Work may not commence prior to 6:00 p.m. and must be completed no later than 6:00 a.m. each night. The contractor shall provide all equipment necessary to perform the work. Equipment operators must be experienced in operating machinery in low-light conditions and accustomed to working safely in environments with horses. The contractor shall coordinate daily scheduling and operational details with Kentucky Horse Park staff to minimize disruption to Park activities and events. The Kentucky Horse Park anticipates hauling approximately 8,500 tons of muck per year. This estimated quantity is provided for informational and bidding purposes only and is subject to change based upon the Kentucky Horse Parks event schedule, operational needs, and the amount of muck generated. The estimated annual tonnage does not guarantee a minimum quantity of material to be hauled or a minimum amount of work or expenditure under the agreement. The contractor shall load material located at the Kentucky Horse Park's designated muck disposal area behind the Alltech Arena and transport the material off-site for disposal. The contractor shall provide all equipment, labor, transportation, and resources necessary to load and haul the material. The contractor shall coordinate the scheduling of loading and hauling services with designated Kentucky Horse Park staff prior to performing the work. The contractor shall contact KHP staff to coordinate the date and approximate time for each scheduled hauling service and shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate KHP's operational and event schedules. Each load shall be weighed at an approved certified scale. The contractor shall provide KHP with a certified weigh ticket for each load verifying the gross weight, tare weight, and net weight of the material hauled. The certified net weight shown on the weigh ticket shall be used to calculate payment. The contractor shall submit copies of all weigh tickets with the corresponding monthly invoice. Invoices shall identify the date of service, number of loads, net weight of each load, total tons hauled, and applicable per-ton rate. The contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with loading, transportation, weighing, and disposal of the material.
