Debris: Any other refuse found in vault toilets, that may include but not limited to items such as cans, bottles, rocks, sticks, logs, animal parts, clothing, plastic bags, metal products, pinecones, waste food products, cardboard, paper products, tools, diapers, personal hygiene, and other miscellaneous trash.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

EQUIPMENT

All equipment will be operational for the duration of the agreement. The Contractor shall be licensed within the State of Arizona, and will furnish all toilet pumping equipment, tank truck

(a truck that can reverse the suction process and create a pressure force is preferred so that the inevitable clogged lines can be more easily cleaned), water truck (with pressure washer attachment), tools, approved disinfectant, and other equipment and supplies necessary to perform work in accordance with these specifications. At least a four-inch (minimum size) suction hose and attachment coupling shall be utilized to accomplish all pumping requirements. The length of hose must be long enough to accomplish the required pumping. Some toilets may require long sections of hose.

A pressure washer system is required to wash the side and end walls of the vault after pumping and may be necessary to dilute solidified waste in the bottom of a flat bottomed vault and to wash the last portion of waste down a sloped bottomed vault.

Some suggested tools are: Two 6-foot long clam rakes with 6-inch long tines (the tines shall be completely dulled or rounded on the ends to prevent the tines from injuring the pumper or his/her helpers and from puncturing any rubber or synthetic liners that may be present in the miscellaneous debris, tools designed for cleaning up the spilled waste, and containers to mix the cleaning and disinfecting solutions in.

water from a lake, pond, or stream) shall consist of pumps, tanks, hoses, etc. and shall be completely separate from toilet waste pumping and hauling equipment. A screen mesh cover is needed on the draft line to effectively prevent entry of any immature fish into the intake. The CO shall approve all sites used for drafting water.

All disinfecting solutions shall be approved by the CO. Bio-preferred disinfecting solution is required for use. An example of USDA approved product can be found on the following website:

http://www.ecosproline.com/products/specialty-clea ner/toilet-cleaner

All equipment shall be maintained in full accordance with any local, State, and County

Regulations.

PUMPING PROCEDURES WHEN AN OUTSIDE VAULT COVER IS

AVAILABLE

As long as the outside pump out access is in excess of 20 inches in diameter (or 20 inches square), the Contractor shall not be allowed to remove the vault contents through the toilet riser. After removing the outside vault cover, use the clam rakes or long handled grabber to remove as much of the debris as possible before trying to pump out the waste. This procedure will help stir up the contents of the vault and break up the dense concentration of waste typically located just under the toilet riser (the impact zone). By removing most or all of the debris before pumping, the Contractor will find that the

4-inch hose will not clog so often and the liquid portion of the contents will not be removed before the thicker solids are removed.

All debris removed from the vault shall be placed into a leak proof container so that no contamination to the surrounding ground will result.

If the bottom of the vault is flat, then the waste shall be removed down to within 4-5 inches

of the bottom. At this point, the 4 inch hose will begin to suck air (vortexing) and further removal will be slow. At this time, remove any further debris that was not removed during the initial raking and removal.

Using a pressure washer system, wash down the interior walls of the vault before the clinging debris has a chance to dry. If at this time there is a heavy concentration of solids on the bottom of the vault, use the pressure washer system to break up and dilute the solids and then pump this diluted waste down again to the 4-5 inch level.

Compacting the waste material in the bottom of the vault to obtain the 4-5 inch depth shall not be allowed.

The flat-bottomed vault shall now be recharged with enough water to bring the depth of water up to 10 inches.

If the bottom of the vault is sloped (new vaults should be sloped a minimum of 1 inch per foot), then pump the waste down (at the deep end) to where the hose begins to suck sir. Remove any remaining debris and then go inside the building with the pressure washer system and wash the remaining waste down the sloped bottom. Wash down the vault walls from inside the building or from the outside vault cover, whichever is easier.

Now pump out the remaining waste and the water that was just added by the pressure washer until the suction hose begins to suck too much air to make further pumping practical.

Recharge the vault with clean fresh water so that there is 10 inches of water covering the bottom of the vault under the toilet riser.

There may be a rare occasion that Government may request that a particular vault toilet be pumped dry and sanitized for repairs. The COR will notify the contractor if a particular vault toilet is to be pumped dry and sanitized.

Clean up and disinfect all contaminated areas resulting from the pumping process. Either sweep or wash all waste that is deposited on the

concrete surrounding the vault cover, back into the vault if possible. The waste that runs off the edge of the concrete, onto the dirt or into the gravel edge, will be an attractant for flies, a potential health risk and an odor problem. This problem should be avoided.

Clean thoroughly around the vault cover gasket area and replace the vault cover. The vault cover

MUST fit with an airtight seal so that the venting process of the vault toilet is not interfered with. If there is not an airtight seal, the Contractor shall notify the CO.

PUMPING THROUGH THE TOILET RISER WHEN THERE IS NO

OUTSIDE VAULT COVER

The Contractor shall remove the toilet riser prior to pumping or removing debris. The

Contractor shall not remove debris or pump through the toilet riser without removing the riser.

Remove the debris and pump in accordance with B.

above. Extra care shall be taken to prevent waste spillage onto the interior floor and wall surface while removing debris and during pumping. The toilet paper dispenser and toilet riser shall be protected from damage and the toilet paper shall be covered with a waterproof material prior to removing debris or pumping, in order to prevent the paper from getting contaminated.

During the final cleanup, the interior floor surface and any wall surface that was contaminated by waste shall be thoroughly disinfected. Again, every effort shall be made to sweep or wash the spilled waste back into the vault. The Contractor shall not allow the spilled waste to be washed or swept out through the front door because the waste will collect at the edge of the concrete and the dirt (or gravel) and will become an attractant for flies, a possible health risk for barefoot persons and an odor problem.

Thoroughly wash and disinfect both the inside and outside of the toilet riser, seat and lid before

COR. The door handles or knobs shall also be disinfected and dry before the contractor leaves the job site.

Each unit shall be available for immediate use after the pumping and final cleanup. The

Contractor shall not leave any toilet location until final cleanup is accomplished.

There may be a rare occasion that Government may request that a particular vault toilet be pumped dry and sanitized for repairs. The COR will notify the contractor if a particular vault toilet is to be pumped dry and sanitized.

OFFSITE DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE AND DEBRIS

The Contractor shall be responsible for making disposal arrangements including disposal of all effluent, debris, trash, and payments of all fees.

¿ Disposal shall conform to all Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances.

GENERAL: USDA-FS Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests has a requirement in the Recreation Program to pump waste from vault toilet tanks, remove debris from tanks, disinfect (tanks, riser, seat), disinfect/clean affected floors and walls, and the proper disposal of sewage and debris as required by Federal, State, and Local laws.

LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The Apache Sitgreaves National Forests (ASNF) is located in east-central Arizona approximately 200 miles northeast of Phoenix, Arizona. The Sitgreaves Zone of A-SNF stretches from the western Apache County line to AZ 260 at the top of the Mogolllon Rim in Coconino County.

SCHEDULING OF WORK

The Contracting Officer (CO) or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall notify the Contractor of the required facilities that need servicing and place an order against an established Call. A map of the locations of vault toilets to be pumped will be provided along with an AD-700 listing the locations. This initial notification may be sent to the contractor by email, fax, or other means. Within a reasonable time frame (unless it is deemed emergency), the Contractor shall provide the service (24-72 hours) of the initial notification. The Contractor shall notify the COR at the appropriate District that the services were completed. Normal servicing shall not take place on a weekend unless requested as emergency by the CO.

Any order placed against an established Call, shall use the technical specifications and pumping procedures, contained herein, as the requirements Contractor shall meet when performing services.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The period of performance shall be date of award through May 31, 2022 for the base year. There are four (one-year) option periods that the government may choose before May 31st each year.

LIABILITY/RESPONSIBILITY

The Government assumes no liability or responsibility for the performance of these services. The Offeror shall maintain all licenses, permits, and insurance coverage necessary to perform these services.

EXTENT OF OBLIGATION

Federal Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under the Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The maximum limitation of this BPA is the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), for which the Government shall not exceed $250,000 total over the base year and any option years. There is no minimum guarantee under this BPA for which the Government is required to place orders. There is no expectation that the Government will reach the maximum limitation.

DEFINITIONS:

Sewage: liquid, semi-liquid, and solid waste matter.

Debris: Any other refuse found in vault toilets, that may include but not limited to items such as cans, bottles, rocks, sticks, logs, animal parts, clothing, plastic bags, metal products, pinecones, waste food products, cardboard, paper products, tools, diapers, personal hygiene, and other miscellaneous trash.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

EQUIPMENT

All equipment will be operational for the duration of the agreement. The Contractor shall be licensed within the State of Arizona, and will furnish all toilet pumping equipment, tank truck (a truck that can reverse the suction process and create a pressure force is preferred so that the inevitable clogged lines can be more easily cleaned), water truck (with pressure washer attachment), tools, approved disinfectant, and other equipment and supplies necessary to perform work in accordance with these specifications. At least a four-inch (minimum size) suction hose and attachment coupling shall be utilized to accomplish all pumping requirements. The length of hose must be long enough to accomplish the required pumping. Some toilets may require long sections of hose.

A pressure washer system is required to wash the side and end walls of the vault after pumping and may be necessary to dilute solidified waste in the bottom of a flat bottomed vault and to wash the last portion of waste down a sloped bottomed vault.

Some suggested tools are: Two 6-foot long clam rakes with 6-inch long tines (the tines shall be completely dulled or rounded on the ends to prevent the tines from injuring the pumper or his/her helpers and from puncturing any rubber or synthetic liners that may be present in the miscellaneous debris, tools designed for cleaning up the spilled waste, and containers to mix the cleaning and disinfecting solutions in.

Water drafting equipment (if necessary to get water from a lake, pond, or stream) shall consist of pumps, tanks, hoses, etc. and shall be completely separate from toilet waste pumping and hauling equipment. A screen mesh cover is needed on the draft line to effectively prevent entry of any immature fish into the intake. The CO shall approve all sites used for drafting water.

All disinfecting solutions shall be approved by the CO. Bio-preferred disinfecting solution is required for use. An example of USDA approved product can be found on the following website:

http://www.ecosproline.com/products/specialty-cleaner/toilet-cleaner

All equipment shall be maintained in full accordance with any local, State, and County Regulations.

PUMPING PROCEDURES WHEN AN OUTSIDE VAULT COVER IS AVAILABLE

As long as the outside pump out access is in excess of 20 inches in diameter (or 20 inches square), the Contractor shall not be allowed to remove the vault contents through the toilet riser. After removing the outside vault cover, use the clam rakes or long handled grabber to remove as much of the debris as possible before trying to pump out the waste. This procedure will help stir up the contents of the vault and break up the dense concentration of waste typically located just under the toilet riser (the impact zone). By removing most or all of the debris before pumping, the Contractor will find that the 4-inch hose will not clog so often and the liquid portion of the contents will not be removed before the thicker solids are removed.

All debris removed from the vault shall be placed into a leak proof container so that no contamination to the surrounding ground will result.

If the bottom of the vault is flat, then the waste shall be removed down to within 4-5 inches of the bottom. At this point, the 4 inch hose will begin to suck air (vortexing) and further removal will be slow. At this time, remove any further debris that was not removed during the initial raking and removal.

Using a pressure washer system, wash down the interior walls of the vault before the clinging debris has a chance to dry. If at this time there is a heavy concentration of solids on the bottom of the vault, use the pressure washer system to break up and dilute the solids and then pump this diluted waste down again to the 4-5 inch level.

Compacting the waste material in the bottom of the vault to obtain the 4-5 inch depth shall not be allowed.

The flat-bottomed vault shall now be recharged with enough water to bring the depth of water up to 10 inches.

If the bottom of the vault is sloped (new vaults should be sloped a minimum of 1 inch per foot), then pump the waste down (at the deep end) to where the hose begins to suck sir. Remove any remaining debris and then go inside the building with the pressure washer system and wash the remaining waste down the sloped bottom.

Wash down the vault walls from inside the building or from the outside vault cover, whichever is easier. Now pump out the remaining waste and the water that was just added by the pressure washer until the suction hose begins to suck too much air to make further pumping practical.

http://www.ecosproline.com/index.php/specialty-cleaner/toilet-cleaner

Recharge the vault with clean fresh water so that there is 10 inches of water covering the bottom of the vault under the toilet riser.

There may be a rare occasion that Government may request that a particular vault toilet be pumped dry and sanitized for repairs. The COR will notify the contractor if a particular vault toilet is to be pumped dry and sanitized.

Clean up and disinfect all contaminated areas resulting from the pumping process. Either sweep or wash all waste that is deposited on the concrete surrounding the vault cover, back into the vault if possible. The waste that runs off the edge of the concrete, onto the dirt or into the gravel edge, will be an attractant for flies, a potential health risk and an odor problem. This problem should be avoided.

Clean thoroughly around the vault cover gasket area and replace the vault cover. The vault cover MUST fit with an airtight seal so that the venting process of the vault toilet is not interfered with. If there is not an airtight seal, the Contractor shall notify the CO.

PUMPING THROUGH THE TOILET RISER WHEN THERE IS NO OUTSIDE VAULT COVER

The Contractor shall remove the toilet riser prior to pumping or removing debris. The Contractor shall not remove debris or pump through the toilet riser without removing the riser.

Remove the debris and pump in accordance with B. above. Extra care shall be taken to prevent waste spillage onto the interior floor and wall surface while removing debris and during pumping. The toilet paper dispenser and toilet riser shall be protected from damage and the toilet paper shall be covered with a waterproof material prior to removing debris or pumping, in order to prevent the paper from getting contaminated.

During the final cleanup, the interior floor surface and any wall surface that was contaminated by waste shall be thoroughly disinfected. Again, every effort shall be made to sweep or wash the spilled waste back into the vault.

The Contractor shall not allow the spilled waste to be washed or swept out through the front door because the waste will collect at the edge of the concrete and the dirt (or gravel) and will become an attractant for flies, a possible health risk for barefoot persons and an odor problem.

Thoroughly wash and disinfect both the inside and outside of the toilet riser, seat and lid before replacing the riser.

The toilet riser and seat shall be dry before the Contractor leaves the work site. Remove the waterproof covering that was protecting the toilet paper and make sure the paper did not get contaminated. If the paper did get contaminated, the Contractor shall notify the COR. The door handles or knobs shall also be disinfected and dry before the contractor leaves the job site.

Each unit shall be available for immediate use after the pumping and final cleanup. The Contractor shall not leave any toilet location until final cleanup is accomplished.

There may be a rare occasion that Government may request that a particular vault toilet be pumped dry and sanitized for repairs. The COR will notify the contractor if a particular vault toilet is to be pumped dry and sanitized.

OFFSITE DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE AND DEBRIS

The Contractor shall be responsible for making disposal arrangements including disposal of all effluent, debris, trash, and payments of all fees.

• Disposal shall conform to all Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances.

• The Contractor shall be responsible to prevent spillage and to haul all waste material (sewage and debris) in watertight containers.

• Handling of all waste material shall be in accordance with all applicable health and hazard regulations.

INSPECTING THE VAULT TANK AFTER SERVICES ARE COMPLETE

Inspect the vault tank for any damage that may lead to leakage or water infiltration. If possible take a digital photo of tank or liner has damage from movement or cracking and send to COR or CO.
