Statement of Work LTBMU 2024 Vault Toilet Pumping

C.1 Scope of Work Description of Work: The intent of this contract is to establish vault toilet pumping and portable toilet pumping/maintenance services for the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. The contractor shall pump toilet vaults and perform needed clean up to leave the toilets in a usable state after pumping. Service will be at various Forest Service recreation sites around Lake Tahoe in both California and Nevada on a “call when needed” basis. A list of authorized Forest Service representatives that may order service will be included with the contract award. In no event shall the contractor perform services directed by any party other than the listed representatives, and the contractor shall not self-dispatch without an order.

Contractor Responsibility: The Contractor shall provide everything – including, but not limited to, all equipment, supplies, transportation, labor, supervision, and incidentals – necessary to perform the work, except for that which the contract clearly states is to be furnished by the Government. The contractor will be responsible for all costs, licensing, permitting, and other requirements for legal disposal of pumped material. All travel expenses required to perform the work are the responsibility of the contractor.

C.2 Project Location & Description This project encompasses the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit around Lake Tahoe in both California and Nevada. The toilets to be serviced are located at various recreation areas as indicated on the Schedule of Items and on the attached map.

Typically, 2-wheel drive vehicles can access all sites. Some roads are narrow and/or winding and access may be difficult or impossible with very large trucks.

C.3 Estimated Contract Time Period of Performance: May 28, 2024 – November 15, 2024

C.4 Restrictions on Work Waste removal shall not be done prior to 5:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. or on weekends or federal holidays. The Forest Service is not requesting the contractor to monitor the sites for potential/needed pumping services. The contract will operate on a “call-when-needed” basis.

The authorized ordering official (see list with contract award) will call the Contractor and request pumping for specific Contract Items (recreation sites). The Contractor shall complete the services within 7 days after the order is made and report to the ordering official when finished. Calls for service will typically be for toilets that are at or near capacity.

C.5 Technical Requirements The contractor will generally need to pump out at least two conjoined vault units per location.

It may take several hours at each site to complete the pumping assignment depending upon the character of the sewage they encounter (dryness, volume, other deposits encountered).

After pumping and cleaning of portable toilets, they shall be recharged with clean water and chemical.

The contractor is expected to communicate any unexpected issues, like a sizeable amount of trash inside the restroom unit (in the vault or in the interior, or immediately outside the structure) to the COR.

Contractors are expected to consistently be courteous to members of the public they encounter when working at Forest Service sites.

C.5-1 Contractor-Furnished Equipment and Supplies Contractor shall provide all equipment necessary to loosen the material and be capable of removing rocks, bottles, cans, or other foreign objects from pits or vaults. Contractor will do a complete job of pumping which includes hoses or a means to carry water and provide a means of transporting debris collected.

Contractor employees will need at minimum the basic PPE and tools: gloves, goggles, water-proof apparel, gropers (to remove trash), brooms, cleaning towels, along with pumping equipment, water sprayers. Supplies provided by the Contractor and used for the performance of tasks under this contract shall,

a) Meet State and Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements and shall be kept in an orderly and safe manner designated for that purpose.

b) Be always identifiable by preserving the original label or stencil as to label the contents, and the manufacture and or brand on the bulk container/packaging.

c) Be environmentally safe.

C.5-2 Waste Removal All debris and human waste collected shall be removed from each unit completely during each servicing. Trash and or other materials which cannot be removed by pumping, and which are still evident when a minimum level has been attained will be removed by the Contractor.

The Contractor is responsible for immediately cleaning any debris in, on, or around the toilet buildings resulting from waste removal activities. This requirement includes interior and exterior walls and ceilings, (marks on walls, floors from hoses, hands, tools, etc.), the surrounding ground area 15 feet from all exterior walls and 10 feet from each side of suction hose from toilet vault/portable to truck. Seats and floors of all toilets shall be washed after each pumping. Trash removed from vaults or portables shall not be placed in garbage cans/bins. All trash removed from these units shall be properly disposed of off-site.
