SF 1444 Additional Information

� Block 11 — Project and Description of Work

This request applies to vault toilet pumping, septic tank pumping, portable toilet pumping, vault structure cleaning, debris removal, waste transport, waste disposal, reporting, spill response, remote/winter access, and compliance with Federal, State, Tribal, county, and local wastewater handling and transportation regulations, as required under USFS California Regional Vault and Septic Pumping Services IDIQ 127EAS26R0003 (Sections B and C).

These duties include operation of pump trucks, DOT compliant wastewater hauling vehicles, PPE use per 29 CFR 1910.120, required waste manifests, and compliance with environmental, health, and transportation regulations.

� Block 13 — Classification Requested

Proposed Classification Title: Vault/Septic Pumping Technician

Job Description & Duties:

Performs vault toilet pumping, septic tank pumping, portable toilet servicing, vault cleaning, debris removal, and pumping operations using specialized pump trucks.

Handles, transports, and disposes of sewage, graywater, septage, and associated waste in compliance with Federal, State, Tribal, county, and local regulations.

Operates DOT-regulated wastewater hauling vehicles; completes waste manifests;

performs spill response; uses PPE meeting 29 CFR 1910.120; provides documentation and reporting as required by the USFS Performance Work Statement (Attachment J2).

Work includes remote-access and winter-access pumping, emergency response capability, and safe operation on National Forest lands.

Rationale for Proposed Classification:

No existing SCA classification adequately captures the combination of specialized pumping equipment operation, regulated wastewater handling, environmental compliance duties, PPE/hazmat-related requirements, and DOT-regulated wastewater hauling required under the IDIQ.

The duties do not align with 23370 (General Maintenance Worker), which does not include regulated waste handling or specialized equipment operation.

The duties do not align with 23810 (Plumber, Maintenance), which covers plumbing craft work such as repair and installation, not sewage pumping and regulated waste transportation.

Therefore, an additional classification is required for lawful compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standards.
