STATEMENT OF WORK

SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICE

WOLF TRAP NATIONAL PARK FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

1.0 BACKGROUND

Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, home of the Filene Center, is an urban park established for the presentation of the performing arts. The year is divided into two seasons, the Performing season, typically from Mid-May through mid-September, and the Non-Performing season, generally from mid-September through Mid-May. The Filene Center hosts between 70 and 80 performances throughout a typical performing season. The increased volume of park visitors during the Performing Season results in an increase in the need for solid waste and recyclable trash disposal services. Therefore, the frequency of service is dramatically different during these two distinct periods. Details on required service schedule are provided in section 5.0 below.

2.0 PURPOSE

Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts requires the placement and servicing of several 6 cubic yard top loading dumpsters, at various locations throughout the park, as specified in section 5.0 below. It is also desirable to establish a default schedule for service each week in the non-performance season with the option of adding additional service as needed in conjunction with the varying needs of the Park Service from week to week and at various times of year during our performance season.
