The base service period runs from March 9, 2026 through March 8, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods through March 8, 2031.

PWS 1.0 Background on the Government’s Requirement
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has ten (10) vault toilets located at the King Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA)’s four (4) campgrounds, and 14 vault toilets located at seven (7) day use sites in the Arcata Field Office (ARFO)'s managed lands which require raw sewage to be pumped out.
PWS 2.0 General Scope of Work
Bureau of Land Management, KRNCA and ARFO are seeking vendors who will provide sewage pumping services at the listed locations for the period of March 2026-March 2031, if all options are exercised.
CONTRACTOR SHALL FURNISH ON AN ON-CALL BASIS ALL LABOR AND TRANPORTATION FOR SEWAGE PUMPING SERVICES FOR TEN (10) VAULT TOILETS AT THE FOLLOWING CAMPGROUNDS LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE KRNCA AND FOURTEEN (14) VAULT TOILETS THROUGHOUT THE AFO:
These vault toilets fill up at different times throughout the year due to visitor usage of the campgrounds and trailheads. Historically, the contractor has made trips to the King Range to empty the vault toilets on an as-needed basis, totaling around 4 trips annually. Each trip, the contractor pumps up to 2500 gallons of sewage from vault toilets that have been identified as full or near full, to optimize efficiency. This system keeps the highly used toilets available and allows low-use toilets time to fill up before being pumped
