Solid Waste Tipping and Disposal and Recycling Services Isle Royale National Park

Background

Isle Royale National Park (the Park) generates approximately 500 cubic yards of solid waste and approximately 100 cubic yards of recycling per year. All trash is picked up at the Isle Royale National Park located at 800 East Lakeshore Drive in Houghton, Michigan 49931.

Contract Requirement

This requirement is for the Solid Waste Tipping and Disposal and Recycling Services for Isle Royale National Park. The park is responsible for transporting the solid waste dumpsters and recycling dumpsters on the support ship (USNPS Ranger III) from the island to the mainland facility for the selected contractor to perform tipping and disposal of the transported island solid waste and recycling and the mainland solid waste and recycling. The contractor is to collect the solid waste and recycling during the park’s regular business hours between 7:00 am and 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday. Park personnel must be present to give the contractor access. Solid waste dumpsters are park owned and maintained dumpsters that meet Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) engineering standards. The frequency and quantity of tipping and disposal will vary based on seasonal park usage, as described below.

The park owns four sizes of solid waste dumpsters. The recycling dumpsters are to be provided by the contractor. The solid waste and recycling dumpsters are outlined in Table No. 1 below.

The park owned dumpsters that require tipping come in four different sizes as stated above (see images in “Park Owned Solid Waste Dumpster Images” section). The four sized dumpsters that will require tipping throughout the season vary from pick up to pick

up. All Park-owned dumpsters are fitted with standard side-lifting pockets. Dumpsters are labeled by cubic yard size for the contractor’s truck driver to determine cubic yards dumped. Isle Royale will be responsible for serviceability of all solid waste dumpsters (leaking, lift pockets, tops, integrity, wheels, etc.) while the selected contractor is responsible for serviceability of all recycling dumpsters and the integrity and serviceability of the receiving vehicles.

The selected contractor is required to tip/empty all park dumpsters, year-round, and dispose of this waste in a Michigan or other state approved landfill meeting any and all Federal, state or local laws, ordinances or regulations. All contractor equipment and personnel must meet Federal, State and local laws, ordinances and regulations for transport and disposal of solid waste. The selected contractor’s equipment may not leak or spill any effluent from the equipment or during tipping of the dumpsters. The selected contractor is responsible for spillage of any and all fluids from the truck used and will be required to report to the COR and clean any spilled fluids while on the park’s facility.

Contractor’s personnel must meet any and all OSHA (29 CFR) or Michigan OSHA (MIOSHA) regulations referencing worker safety and Personal Protective Equipment.

Contractor must comply with any and all applicable Hazardous Materials Regulations under USDOT 49 CFR and any Michigan DOT regulations.

Tips are anticipated as shown in the table above, except in rare circumstances when an on-call service may be required. The sizes and quantities may vary. In rare circumstances, an additional pickup may be requested during the week. If an additional pickup is needed, the park will notify the contractor by phone or e-mail with a 24-hour notice. Only the COR (Contracting Officer’s Representative) for the contract may request additional pickups.

The dates indicated on the table above may vary slightly (by approximately 5 days) from year to year.

During observed Federal holidays, the park headquarters is closed and therefore no pickup would be possible. From May 1 through October 1 the contractor is required to reschedule any missed pickup the next business day after an observed federal holiday. This typically happens for Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day and Labor Day.

Solid Waste Dumpsters Specific Requirements

All solid waste and recycling dumpsters will be positioned by park employees at the west-end of the facility lot for tipping by the contractor. Empty dumpsters (not to be tipped) will be positioned in a distinctly different location. The contractor shall provide the park with a dispatch phone number for off-schedule tipping.

Typically, during the winter season (November 16th – March 31st), only one dumpster accumulates waste for that requires tipping once every other week unless under an extreme circumstance.
