1. Solid Waste Collection

Provide collection and disposal of solid waste for zone(s) and associated sites identified in the Schedule of Items per the collection schedule below.

All garbage dumpsters are to be contractor provided and must be bear resistant (metal lids, locking bar) at all sites. Dumpsters must be painted earth tones (brown, green, tan, blue) and be distinguishable from recycling bins. Select receptacles (as identified in the Schedule of Items) shall be deodorized after emptying to neutralize the foul odors of the dumpster so that they can not be smelled when a person is within ten feet of the dumpster.

Peak Season During peak season, the contractor will make 1 collection trip per week to pick up garbage. The contractor may choose any weekday, Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:30 AM and 8:00 PM as his/her regular collection day. However, collection shall be made on a regular schedule so any given site will be collected on the same day and same general timeframe each week. The collection day will be agreed upon between the inspector for each zone and the contractor prior to beginning the contract. The vendor will provide written notice to the Forest Service of their pick-up schedule.

Site exceptions:

Collection and disposal at site 11 – Stockfarm Bridge Campground shall occur once every 2 weeks during Peak and Shoulder Season

Site 9 - Black Lake is undergoing renovation and will not need service May 1 – June 30, 2024. Otherwise this site will follow the normal service schedule.

Bass Lake service only during peak season

Shoulder Season During shoulder season, the contractor will make 1 collection trip every other week (every two weeks) to pick up garbage. The contractor may choose any weekday, Monday through Friday between the hours of 6:30 AM and 8:00 PM as the regular collection day. However, collection shall be made on a regular schedule so any given site will be collected on the same day and same general timeframe each scheduled week. The collection day will be agreed upon in writing between the inspector for each zone and the contractor prior to beginning the contract.

Off-Season Regular pickup will not occur. Only on-call/as needed.

All Seasons (Off Season, Peak Season, Shoulder Season) During all seasons, the government can request garbage collection (special container pick-up) on a call-as-needed basis at any sites listed in the Schedule of Items. A special container pick-up during Off Season is most likely to be requested between April 15 and May 1 and/or between November 1 and November 30. A special container pick-up during Peak Season and Shoulder Season would be requested during times of extraordinarily high or unexpected use and would be in addition to the regularly weekly or bi-weekly scheduled collection. A special container pick-up is expected to be made within 48 hours of notification of the contractor.

Solid Waste Disposal The contractor shall dispose of the solid waste in a State Licensed Sanitary Landfill. The contractor shall be responsible for obtaining permits and paying fees associated with the disposal.
