140P1223Q0112 Statement of Work Bryce Canyon National Park Recycling Roll-Offs

INTRODUCTION

Bryce Canyon National Park is a remote park with no access to local recycling facilities. This contract will be specifically for transportation of recycling materials and providing at least two roll- off type bins for recycling.

SUMMARY OF WORK

The contractor shall furnish all regular and fabrication labor, materials, tools, equipment, supervision and applicable licenses and permits necessary to perform additional Recycling Roll-off’s and Transportation Services at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. The contractor will provide at least two, 30 yard recycling containers, or one 30 yard and another 20 yard if two 30 yards are not available or are able to be transported, to collect co-mingled recyclable materials. These materials will be determined by what is acceptable co-mingled recycling materials at the certified recycling collection agency that the items will be transported to. Currently, the closest certified recycling center is Rocky Mountain Recycling in St. George, Utah. The Contractor will provide transportation of the containers and contents, consisting of the co-mingled recycled materials to Rocky Mountain Recycling Center and if that facility closes or another is closer, the nearest certified recycling center. For each container the contractor removes from the park, one will be placed in the same location, or a specified location, prior to the removal of the full container so there is no interruption to recycling collection.

BASE SERVICES

The contractor shall be required to accomplish all the tasks and fulfill all the requirements of this Scope of Work as described herein;

1. The contractor shall provide containers and the actual drop off and pick up locations will be determined by the COTR prior to delivery. Due to seasonal weather changes, the location may change throughout the year but all containers will remain within Bryce Canyon National Park. The contractor shall provide the types and quantities requested. Current locations are noted in the attached photograph (Appendix A)

2. Supplied containers shall be well maintained and be well marked with the Universal Recycling symbol or marked “Recycle” so as not to get confused with other waste management containers.

3. The containers shall have drains smaller than ¼” square to prevent rodents from entering containers. Openings larger than ¼” shall be covered with a screen or material that will meet the ¼” requirement.

4. The containers shall have metal or heavy plastic sliding doors (Appendix B) which will not only allow easy access, but also allow the container keep wildlife and weather out. The sliding doors work better due to the average height of a 30 yard roll-off type container. It also is a better design as Bryce Canyon is known for heavy snow events and the added snow weight could be a problem for any other design. The sliding doors must be high enough and wide enough to fit a large cardboard box. Also, there must be a way to secure the sliding door during transportation.

5. If the top of the container is not available, the contractor can, at the cost of Bryce Canyon National Park, fabricate the top, however the park must approve the design and cost of the final product prior to first being fabricated and placed in use. The park would be willing to purchase additional roll-off’s from the contractor, if they are available upon reaching a negotiated price. If the park were to purchase and own all of the roll-off’s, then the contractor would only be responsible for transportation aspect of this contract.

6. The contractor shall ensure that all equipment used to haul containers to and from Bryce Canyon and the designated Recycling Center are complaint with all state and federal laws pertaining the transporting of the container and material. The contractor assumes all liability when transporting containers. Any required safety equipment for transporting, picking up or dropping off roll-off’s will be the contractors responsibility

7. To save on transportation and equipment costs and for the convenience for the park, the contract will need to have the ability to transport two recycling roll-off’s at one time. Two roll-off’s will be dropped off and two will be transported to the recycling facility. Since the park owns two, when those are full, the park will need two delivered to take their place.

8. The contractor shall provide weigh tickets (hard copy of electronic (if available) showing the amount of material that was delivered, which excludes the weight of the container, truck, driver, accessories and showing only the weight of the recyclable material delivered to the recycling center. This weight should match what is being billed to the park directly from the recycling center.

The contractor must ensure that no other recycling or trash materials are added to the roll-off’s when they are in their possession.

ESTIMAGED SERVICE NEEDS

The demand for recycling is much higher during peak season for the park (May 1st thru October 30th). It’s estimated that the park will need recycling containers changed out approximately twice a month. During the shoulder and winter season, this could be once every two months. If the recycling program expands, this need could be more frequent.

This service contract will be for one year, but option years could extend it to four years.
