A few restrooms are accessible by hardened aggregate surface roads and parking lots suitable for service trucks. However, there are several vault toilets that are accessible via dirt roads.

2-A Equipment The Contractor shall furnish any and all toilet pumping equipment to complete requires services, including but not limited to:

• Tank Truck with the ability to reverse the suction process to clear clogged lines

• Tools necessary to open manholes and remove risers

• Approved Disinfectant (approved by the District Representative)

• 4-inch Minimum Suction Hose o Length of hose must be long enough to accomplish the required pumping. Some sites may require additional hose to reach vaults from roadway

• High Pressure Jet Washer System o To wash the side and end walls of the Vault and dilute solidified waste at the bottom o To wash last portion of waste down a sloped bottom vault

2-B Pumping Procedures through an Outside Manhole Contractor shall not pump through the toilet riser when an outside manhole is available, and said manhole opening is greater than, or equal to, 20 square inches. Upon removing the manhole cover, the Contractor shall remove as much debris as possible, prior to pumping out waste. All debris removed from the vault shall be placed into a leak proof container, so that no contamination will result to the surrounding ground.

Procedures for flat bottom vault as follows:

When waste has been removed within four to five inches of the bottom of the vault, the four-inch hose will begin to suck air. At this time the Contractor will use a smaller hose to remove any further debris that was not removed earlier. Using a high-pressure jet-washing system, the Contractor will wash down the interior walls of the vault, before the clinging debris has a chance to dry.

If heavy concentration of solids remains, the high pressure, jet-washing system will be used to break up and dilute the solids. Contractor will continue to pump waste until the hose is sucking too much air, and pumping becomes impractical.

Procedures for sloped bottom vaults as follows:

Contractor shall pump waste, from the deep end, until the pump begins to suck air. Remove any remaining debris and begin to wash the walls using a high pressure, jet-washing system, and wash any remaining waste down the sloped bottom. Pump out rest of waste until the hose begins to suck air.

2-C Pumping Through Toilet Riser Contractor shall only pump through the toilet riser when no outside manhole is available. Remove the toilet riser prior to pumping or removing any debris. Contractor will begin to pump waste in accordance with 2- B. Extra care shall be taken to prevent waste from spilling. Toilet Paper dispenser and toilet riser will be covered with a waterproof material, prior to removing debris, and starting the pumping process.

Contractor will thoroughly wash and disinfect the inside and outside of the toilet riser, including the seat and cover, prior to replacing the riser. Both the riser and the seat will be dry before the Contractor leaves the work site.

2-D Conduct of Personnel The Contractor and his/her personnel shall make every reasonable effort to prevent any interference with the normal use of recreation areas, while engaged in the performance of the contract. Contractor and his/her employees shall keep themselves and their equipment clean and presentable at all times. The District Representative may, in writing, require the Contractor to remove any employee deemed incompetent, careless, and discourteous to the public, or for theft of any government owned property.
