Project Payson Ranger District Vault Toilet Pumping

1.0 Scope of Work

The intent of this contract is to provide septic collection services for the North Zone of the Tonto National Forest, including the Payson Ranger District, Tonto Basin Ranger District, & Pleasant Valley Ranger District.

The contractor shall provide any and all labor, equipment, supplies, services, permits, and licenses necessary to collect, load, haul and dump septic refuse from recreation sites. The contractor shall remove all debris, wash down, cleanup, disinfect, and dispose of all waste products removed from the vaults/holding tanks.

Debris may include, but is not limited to: cans, bottles, rocks, sticks/logs, animal parts, clothing, plastic bags, metal products, toilet paper rolls/dispensers, tools, diapers, sanitary napkins, and other miscellaneous trash. If the bottom of the vault is flat, waste shall be removed down to within 4-5 inches from the bottom. If the bottom of the vault is sloped, waste shall be removed until the suction hose begins to suck too much air to make further pumping practical. Any spilled waste must be cleaned by the contractor prior to leaving the work area. The contractor shall inspect for any damage and notify the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) immediately of suspected damage.

Work will be performed on District 4 (Payson), District 5 (Pleasant Valley), and District 6 (Tonto Basin) of the Tonto National Forest during the base period June 15, 2025 to June 14, 2026, including 4 additional one-year Option Periods.

This statement of work consists of completing the tasks/subtasks in Section 3 to the deliverable requirements of Section 5.

1.1 Vault Access

The contractor shall utilize the outside vault access opening, not the toilet riser, unless there is not an outside vault access opening or if the outside vault access opening is less than 20 inches diameter (or 20 inches square). If the toilet riser must be utilized for pumping, the contractor shall protect the riser from damage. The contractor must ensure the toilet paper and dispenser are not contaminated with waste. The contractor shall notify the COR if the toilet paper is contaminated. If the interior of the vault toilet is contaminated, the contractor shall thoroughly disinfect the contaminated area prior to leaving. The vault cover must fit with an airtight seal so that the venting process of the vault toilet is not interfered with; the contractor shall notify the COR of any vaults that do not have an airtight seal.

1.2 Waste/Debris Material Transport and Disposal

The contractor shall transport and dispose of all waste materials to an approved site in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. All debris shall be removed from the vault in a leak-proof container/bag so not to contaminate the surrounding ground and area. All waste/debris shall be disposed of outside of Forest Service land.

1.3 Work Area

The contractor shall, at all times, keep work areas free from accumulations of waste material, rubbish, tools, scaffolding, equipment, and materials. Upon completion of the job or when away from the work site, the contractor shall leave the work area and premises in a clean, neat, safe and workmanlike condition.
