Statement of Work Lost Horse Ranger Station Septic Tank Replacement

Part 1: Scope/Background/Objective

1.1 Scope of Work

The contractor shall remove and replace the existing septic tank located at Lost Horse Ranger Station with a new modern septic tank that has a 1,500 gallon capacity.

The current septic tank has been breached by vegetation and roots and is no longer functioning. This project will replace the current septic and allow the house to be resided in again. The contractor shall remove and replace existing septic tank and connect to the existing house drain lines and leach field distribution box line.

1.2 Background

The existing septic system at Lost Horse Ranger station was believed to be installed in 1967. Since installation, local plant life has grown around the septic tank and the roots from these plants have breached the septic system and prevented the system to work as needed. This project will remove the existing septic tank and replace it with a new tank built to modern standards. The requirement is for a tank that is 1,500 gallons in size due to the possibility of ten people staying at the ranger station for various durations of time.

The septic tank will be installed according to code regarding correct depth. The existing drains from the housing unit and ranger station will connect modern fittings and then buried. Currently the drainage from the two buildings converge in an open concrete box which allows direct viewing of waste coming from the house. The concrete box will be removed, and all lines will be buried after installation.

1.2 Objective

The objective of this contract is to replace the existing septic tank with a modern septic tank that conforms to code. The requested tank size is 1,500 gallons but could be changed if code and permitting requirements do not allow for installation of a tank of that size.
