PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT FOR

LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL AT

LUCKY PEAK DAM AND LAKE

1. GENERAL INFORMATION: This BASE YEAR + TWO OPTION YEARS Service Contract provides liquid waste removal of vehicle accessible vault-equipped facilities at various locations at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Lucky Peak Dam & Lake boundary, within Ada and Boise Counties, ID. The Contractor will be responsible for all costs and licensures related to performing this contract and its successful completion. Appendix A provides reference maps of all vault sites subject to service under this contract.

Vault restrooms at Lucky Peak Lake are comprised of CXT Cascadian model single and double-vault restroom variations. These concrete structures have either one or two 1,000-gallon capacity vaults accessible through either the interior toilet riser or exterior service hatch(es). A single vault restroom is one structure with one toilet and one 1,000-gallon vault. A double vault restroom is one structure with two toilets and two independent 1,000-gallon vaults. Left-hand and right-hand configurations of the single vault restroom exist at Lucky Peak but this difference in configuration is of no consequence to liquid waste services. See Figures 1 through 4 for Elevation and Plan views of the structures.

In addition to the CXT Cascadian vault restroom models discussed above, there are four other vault candidates for services under this contract.

a) There are two 1,200-gallon vaults used by Volunteer Park Hosts at Barclay Bay and Macks Creek Park. They are black water holding vaults and will never - with rare exception – contain litter and debris materials requiring manual removal. These vaults will be included on a Call-Out basis.

b) There is one 1,200-gallon black water holding vault located at Spring Shores Marina and may be used by the Project as a transfer location for liquid waste removed from lakeside restrooms. This vault will never – with rare exception – contain litter and debris materials requiring manual removal. This vault will be serviced on a Call-Out basis only.

c) There is one septic system vault located at the Lake Office. This vault will never – with rare exception – contain litter and debris materials requiring manual removal. This vault will be serviced on a Call-Out basis only.

2. WORK TO BE PERFORMED: The Contractor will provide all labor, credentials, certifications, insurance, equipment, materials, supplies, transportation and supervision necessary to perform all liquid waste disposal service at Lucky Peak Dam & Lake. Service consists of completely emptying sewage holding vaults of sewage, litter and debris. Services will not be performed on weekends or Federal Holidays. All interior surfaces on which spillage occurs during the pumping procedure will be cleaned and disinfected. Litter and debris manually removed incidental to services will be disposed of by the contractor in accordance with appropriate and applicable County, State, and Federal hazardous materials regulations.

The following drawings show information on CXT’s that need pumped and cleaned.

3. DEER FLAT SERVICE: This single service consists of emptying two CXT Cascadian single-vault toilets at Deer Flat, described in the table below. These locations are remote, approximately 1.5 miles from Highway 21 via a narrow primitive fire break and service road. The roadway is unimproved, steep, and loose in many areas, with limited turnaround opportunities. Use of smaller service vehicles with truck-mounted or trailer-mounted pump/haul apparatus is highly recommended. Deer Flat Service, if requested, is generally targeted for August or September. Vaults need not be recharged with water following service, as this will be accomplished by Project staff during subsequent quality assurance inspections. Litter and debris removed incidental to services will be disposed of by the contractor in accordance with appropriate and applicable County, State, and Federal hazardous materials regulations. Access to the site is sensitive to precipitation and soil moisture; service days scheduled in advance may be postponed or cancelled due to hazardous road conditions, potential for road damage, and Contractor safety considerations. Line Item X002 is an Estimated Quantity Line Item. Quantities are estimated amounts and are not guaranteed amounts. The contractor will only be paid for actual work performed. These vaults will be serviced on a Call-Out basis only.

4. CALL-OUT SERVICES: Call-Out services will be quoted as JOB with the unit of measure as EACH VAULT. Many vaults experience above average use and require service in excess of once annually. Service is generally requested for CXT Cascadian sites when vaults exceed roughly 2/3 capacity. Service is generally requested for Volunteer Park Host and Vessel Pump-Out sites when vaults exceed roughly 80% capacity. Services for these facilities will be delivered on an as-needed basis within four business days of request by the Contracting Officer Representative. Call-out requests are most expected between April and September but may be requested at any time throughout the contract period. Vaults need not be recharged with water following service, as this will be accomplished by Project staff during subsequent quality assurance inspections. Litter and debris removed incidental to services will be disposed of by the contractor in accordance with appropriate and applicable County, State, and Federal hazardous materials regulations. X003 Line Items are Estimated Quantity Line Items. Quantities are estimated amounts and are not guaranteed amounts. The contractor will only be paid for actual work performed. At no time will the contractor exceed the total estimated quantities. Candidate restrooms and vaults for Call-Out service are provided in the following table:
