PART 2 – EXECUTION

The Contractor will thoroughly mix and pump to remove septic waste liquid and sludge contents from each tank and transport pumped material to a licensed and approved disposal location. There may be non-human waste materials present in a unit such as plastic bottles, aluminum cans, trash, hygiene products, etc.; the contractor is not responsible for removing such items. The Contractor is responsible for any spills that occur during the pumping process and shall clean and sanitize the area immediately. No utilities are available at the sites. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that each site, as related to the pumping of the tanks, is clean and fit for public use prior to departure. This includes the filling of the vault tanks with approximately 50-gallons of fresh water once pumped. Tank volumes indicated above are the tank design capacities and provided for estimating purposes only. All permits, fees and expenses associated with the disposal of sludge and wastewater in local wastewater plants are the sole responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor’s equipment must be capable of pumping all solids and liquids from vault toilets and septic tanks. This may require hose to access retention facilities from parking areas. It should be noted that some locations are in a remote setting, accessed by un-improved service roads, requiring smaller service vehicles.
