The purpose of this meeting is to thoroughly discuss the schedule of work, work performance requirements, approved waste disposal sites, and contract terms and to familiarize both parties with the responsibilities of each under the terms of this contract.

DIVISION 100

130 – Contractor Furnished Property and Services The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, and supplies needed to perform the required vault pumping and cleaning on the Wind River District according to the specifications listed in Division 200 below.

140 – Government Furnished Property No Government furnished property shall be provided.

150 – Definitions

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

2. Debris all other refuse found in vaults toilets, to include but not limited to items such as the following: cans, bottles, rocks, sticks and logs, deer head, clothing, plastic bags, and containers, metal products, pine cones, waste food products, cardboard and paper products, whole rolls of toilet paper, toilet paper dispensers , tools, diapers, sanitary napkins, miscellaneous trash, etc.

160 – Contractor’s Representative Prior to the start of work, the Contractor shall designate in writing, a person to for his or her absence any work site and shall specify the scope of his or hers authority.

DIVISION 200 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

210 – Equipment

The Contractor shall furnish all toilet pumping equipment, tank truck, a truck that can reverse the suction process and create a pressure force is preferred and required so that the inevitable clogged lines ca be more easily cleaned, water truck, tools, approved disinfectant, and other equipment and supplies necessary to perform work in accordance with these specifications. A four (4) inch, minimum size, suction hose and attachment couplings is necessary to accomplish all pumping requirements. The length of the hose must be long enough to accomplish the required pumping.

A pressure washer system is required to wash the side and the end walls of 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 each (6) six foot long clam rakes with six (6) inch long tines. The tines shall be completely dull or rounded on the ends to prevent the tines from injuring the pumper or helper and from puncturing any rubber or synthetic liners that may be present in the vault. A long handled grabber, plastic bags to haul away all the miscellaneous debris as listed in Section 150-2, brushes designed for cleaning up the spilled waste, and containers to mix the cleaning and solutions.

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.

All disinfecting solutions shall be approved by the COR.

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

220 – Pumping Procedures When an Outside Manhole is Available

As long as the outside pump-out access is in excess of twenty (20) inches in diameter or 20 inches square, the Contractor shall not be allowed to remove the vault contents through the toilet riser.

If the dimension is less than twenty (20) inches, then there may be items in the vault that were thrown into the vault through the toilet riser which is sixteen (16) inches by twenty (20) inches then those tems may not be removed through the outside manhole of a lesser dimension.

After removing the manhole 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 four (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 four (4) to five (5) inches of the bottom. At this point the four (4) inch hose will begin to suck air or 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 four (4) to five (5) inch level. Compacting of the waste material in the bottom of the vault to obtain the four (4) to five (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 ten (10) inches.

If the bottom of the vault is sloped, all vaults should be sloped a minimum of one (1) inch per foot, then pump the waste down, at the deep end, to where the hose begins to suck air. 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 manhole, 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.

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 manhole 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.

If the pump-out access is utilized for pumping of the toilet, the contractor must reseal the access lid after use. Sealing is to be done with a silicone sealant to obtain a water tight seal.

230 – Pumping Through the Toilet Riser When There is No Outside Manhole

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

Remove the debris and pump in accordance with Section 220. Extra care shall be taken to prevent waste spillage onto the interior floor and wall surface while removing debris and while 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 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, the seat, and the cover 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 does not get contaminated. If the paper does get contaminated, the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer Representative (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.

240 – Drafting of Water

Contractor may draft fresh water to be used for washing down the vault walls, emulsification of the waste and for final cleanup from lakes, ponds, and streams under the following conditions:

a. Drafting shall be accomplished where it least interferes with the public use of the facility and at areas least viewed by the public.

b. No waste shall be introduced into any body of water.

c. The COR shall approve all sites used for drafting water.

250 – Offsite Disposal of Sewage and Debris

Waste products extracted from the vaults will be disposed of at all the Contractors expense at sewage disposal facilities only.

Contractors shall be responsible for making disposal arrangement, including disposal of all effluent, debris, and trash, and payment of all fees.

Disposal shall conform to all Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances. COR shall approve all disposal sites before pumping begins.

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 regulations.

260 – Conduct of Personnel

The contractor and his or her employees shall make every reasonable effort to prevent interference with the normal use and occupancy of recreational areas while engaged in the performance of the contract.

Due to the nature of the duties under the contract, the Contractor and his or her employees shall keep themselves and equipment presentable at all times. The Contracting Officer (CO) may, in writing, require the Contractor to remove from the work site any employee the CO deems incompetent, careless, discourteous to the public, or is otherwise objectionable, or for theft, possession and/or removal of materials, supplies, equipment or any Government owned property.

270 – Resource Damage

Any damages or defacement that occurs to government property or land resource during the Contractor’s operation shall be repaired at the Contractor’s expense to its original condition. Onsite inspection will be made by the COR prior to the acceptance of work.

280 – Performance Schedule

The estimated date for starting work is June 1, 2016. The Base year will run through September 15, 2016. The contract will include three one-year option periods running through 2019. The Government shall contact the Contractor by telephone or in person to request the vaults be pumped and shall specify the location and vault number to be pumped. The Contractor shall have five days after the date of the Government’s request to complete all pumping of the specified vaults.

290 – Specifications

291 – Barrier Removal and Replacement – The Contractor may remove and replace any barriers required for access to pump the toilet vaults.
