*** AMENDMENT ONE ***PACK ANIMALS AND WRANGLER/S FOR WILDERNESS FIELDWORK - MULTNOMAH, ORThe purpose of this Amendment is to answer vendor questions and extend the due date for quotes to Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 5:00pm PT. No further questions will be accepted. Questions and Answers1) Is the trailhead large enough to accommodate a 24ft gooseneck stock trailer? plus staging area for making loads/saddling etc?Answer: I think there is plenty of space at the Wahtum Lake trailhead for the trailer and staging.2) Is the wrangler required to cook for the camp/geologists?Answer: No. The wrangler is only required to deliver and off-load the gear to the destination camp and then pick up at the end of the week.3) Are the geologists hiking in/out or are we expected to provide riding animals for them?Answer: The geologists will be hiking in and out.4) Will the trails be cleared by trail crews before the initial trip, or will the packers be expected to clear trail from downed trees on the way into the camping location?

Is that an accurate rough estimate?Answer: Yes, this is correct.6) Is the wrangler expected to stay around camp during operations until the conclusion of the trip? If so, what are appropriate means of stock containment that have been approved such as high lining, electric fence, picket/hobbles?Answer: No, the wrangler is n...
