Statement of Work

Vendor will be responsible for pumping of waste from campground vault toilets, holding, and septic tanks on the East

Zone of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (Vilas, Oneida, Forest, Florence, Oconto, and Langlade Counties) recreation sites. Vendor is responsible for disposal of waste according to Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regulations.

The service will be on an as-needed basis and on-call basis. The service must be provided within 5 business days

(Monday-Friday (excluding Federal Holidays)) of request. The Forest Service will unlock the tank access before or during the service. The vendor shall lock and close the access after the service, if Forest Service staff are not present, and there is a means to lock and close the access.

The vendor shall leave the buildings and site in the same level of cleanliness as it was before pumping started. The tanks shall be emptied to the extent that only residual waste remains.

The Forest Service is responsible for general cleaning of vault toilets and providing toilet paper.

There are 137 vault toilets, 4 holding tanks, and 18 septic tanks on the East Zone of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National

Forest. Facilities have been grouped into two (2) zones based on geographical location, Zone 1 (North) Eagle

River/Florence, and Zone 2 (South) Lakewood/Laona.

Provide services for one year (5/1/2026 – 4/30/2027) for one or both zones. The forest service estimates there will be approximately 125 pumping requests per year between May and October across both zones, but there may be more or fewer than 125 pumps per year. The Forest Service may request additional pumping beyond 125 if the need arises and will add funding to the contract if necessary. Not every tank is pumped every year.
