STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVE BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR
PUMPING SERVICES FOR VAULT/PIT TOILET AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS
Description of Requirement
1. Background
The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) through Region 6 Acquisitions Management require competitive sources for the procurement of pumping services for vault/pit toilet and septic systems at USDA Forest Service managed recreation sites located on the National Forests in Oregon and Washington. The intent of any awarded Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) is to streamline the acquisition process by providing direct access to a number of qualified vendors who are familiar in conducting business with the Federal Government.
2. Description of Agreement
This BPA will utilize specifications to define the requirements of each call placed. The specifications will provide the key characteristics of the site to be serviced. A Blanket Purchase Agreement/s (BPA) will be awarded in response to this solicitation. A BPA is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive needs for supplies or services by establishing “charge accounts” with qualified sources.
This is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) to establish a pool of vendors who can provide, as identified in the attached Schedule of Items.
The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, vehicles, supervision, and other incidentals necessary to perform toilet pumping services. The quote will be a fixed firm price per unit, per visit and will include ALL fees associated with the service provided, including but not limited, i.e., disposal of foreign debris found in the septic systems that is not classified as sewages.
Services may be needed anytime through the year, depending on the site. Some toilets are located at winter trailheads and may require winter pumping; however, most of the sites are busiest during the summer season, so services are normally required before and during the operating season, which can run anytime between April 1 through October 30 annually, but may occur throughout the entire year. Some locations also require services at the end of each season.
The number of sites and frequency of service may be increased or decreased throughout the life of the BPA and are subject to the change clause FAR 52.212-4(C) Changes.
The recreation sites are listed by forest and/or district locations. Not all sites will be on double lane, paved roads and some could be on single lane, dirt or gravel roads. See the attachments, by National Forest, for the full list of sites, including vault size, frequency of pumping, and other notes. The National Forests included in this solicitation include:
11/19/2024 Page 8 of 54
• Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (Oregon and Washington)
• Deschutes National Forest (Oregon)
• Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest (Washington)
• Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest (Washington)
• Olympic National Forest (Washington)
• Siuslaw National Forest (Oregon)
• Umpqua National Forest (Oregon)
• Willamette National Forest (Oregon)
• New sites added as needed (Washington and Oregon)
Effort will be made to combine trips to pump restrooms in the same general location to save mileage and costs, but there is no commitment to doing so in every request for service.
The toilets vary in maximum capacity and will be pumped on a “call when needed” basis with 90% of the waste contents removed per standard commercial practices. The contractor shall be responsible for making disposal arrangements including disposal of all sewage and debris, and payment of all fees. All waste shall be disposed of at a commercial treatment facility off National Forest Lands.
Applicable OSHA, State and Local laws and regulations will be followed.
3. Extent of Obligation The Government is only obligated to the extent of authorized calls placed against this BPA by authorized personnel, against authorized items.
4. Purchase Limitations The limitation for each individual purchase under this BPA shall not exceed $100,000.
5. Individuals Authorized to Purchase under this BPA Any warranted Contracting Officer with proper delegated authority within Forest Service Northwest Procurement Zone. BPA Calls will be issued as work becomes available.
6. Delivery Tickets All services under this agreement shall be accompanied by delivery tickets or sales slips that shall contain the following minimum information:
(i) Name of supplier.
(ii) BPA number.
(iii) Date of purchase.
(iv) Purchase/Call number.
(v) Itemized list of units furnished.
(vi) Quantity, unit price, and extension of each item, less applicable discounts.
(vii) Date of delivery or shipment
7. Invoices Individual invoices will be submitted for each delivery or as specified and allowed by each call. Unless specified otherwise in the call, Invoices will be submitted to the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) at www.ipp.gov. All vendors selected for award of a BPA will be required to register in the IPP system.
1240BD22Q0028_1.v.1 Vault Septic Pumping Service DRD 11/19/2024 Page 9 of 54 http://www.ipp.gov/
8. Placement of Calls
All work will be ordered based on the Firm-Fixed-Prices as shown in the Schedule of Items. BPA Calls may be issued orally and followed up in writing, by facsimile, or by electronic commerce methods.
The government anticipates awarding multiple BPA Calls shortly after award of BPA. Estimated start work dates and performance times will be identified on each Call. Calls may be issued continuously with no time discounted for normal weather conditions or fire restrictions.
The Contractor is not required to accept every Call. However, there is a general expectation that the Contractor will be available for most Calls.
Service contract wage rates will be added via attachment per BPA call/award. The wage rates included in this solicitation are provided as a sample only.
9. Cancellation of BPA The United States government reserves the unilateral right to cancel this BPA by providing written notification to the contractor.
The contractor may withdraw from this BPA upon written request to the Contracting Officer. Withdrawal from the BPA does not affect awarded calls.
