TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Equipment

The Contractor shall furnish all toilet pumping equipment, tank truck (a truck that can reverse the suction process and create a pressure force is preferred/required so that the_ inevitable clogged lines can be more easily cleared), tools, approved disinfectant, and other equipment and supplies necessary to perform work in accordance with these specifications. A 4 inch (minimum size) suction hose and attachment couplings shall be utilized to accomplish .all pumping requirements. The length of hose must belong enough to accomplish the required pumping. (Minimum (3) 4 inch x 20 ft. sections.)

A portable pressure washer system (minimum 2000 psi.) (Minimum 200 gal. cap.) is required to wash the side and end walls of the vault and wet wells after pumping and may be necessary to dilute solidified waste in the bottom of a flat bottomed wet wells and to wash the last portion of waste down a sloped bottomed vault.

Some suggested tools are: Two 6 foot long clam rakes with 6 inch long tines (the tines shall be completely dulled or rounded on the ends to prevent the tines from injuring the pumper or his/her helpers and from puncturing any rubber or synthetic liners that may be present in the vault), along handled grabber, plastic bags to haul away all the miscellaneous debris (see C.1-4), brushes designed for cleaning up the spilled waste, containers to mix this cleaning and disinfecting solutions in, and a 50 lb. bag of-lime to put down on any liquid that cannot otherwise be picked up . ·

Water drafting equipment (if necessary to get water from a lake, pond, or stream) shall consist of pumps, tanks, hoses, etc. and shall be completely separate from toilet waste pumping and hauling equipment. ·

All disinfecting solutions shall be approved by the COR.

All equipment shall be in full accordance with any Federal, State or Local Regulations; will periodically be inspected by COR or designated inspector before pumping begins to insure waste is not being transported from outside sources and disposed of at the Government facility.

Pumping Procedures When an outside Manhole is Available

As long as the outside pump out access is in excess of 20 inches in diameter (or 20 inches square) the Contractor shall not be allowed to remove the vault contents through the toilet riser. ·

After removing the manhole cover, use the clam rakes or long handled grabber to remove as much of the .debris as possible before drying to pump out the waste. This procedure will help stir up the contents of the vault and breakup 1he dense concentration of waste typically located just under the toilet riser (the impact zone). By removing most or all of the debris before pumping, 1he Contractor will find that the 4 inch hose will not clog so often and the liquid portion of the contents will not be removed before the thicker solids are removed.

ALL DEBRIS REMOVED FROM THE VAULT SHALL BE FLA.CED INTO A LEAK PROOF CONTAINER SO THAT NO CONTAMINATION T0 THE SURROUNQING GROUND WILL RESULT.

If the bottom of the vault is flat, then the waste shall be removed down to within 4-5 inches of the bottom. At this point the 4 41.ch hose will begin to suck air (vortexing) and further removal will be slow. At this time remove any further debris that was not removed during the initial raking and removal.

Using a pressure washer system, wash down the interior walls of the vault before the clinging debris has a chance to dry. If at this time there is a heavy concentration of solids on the bottom of the vault, use the pressure washer system to break up and dilute the solids and then pump this diluted waste, down again until the suction hose begins to suck too much air to make further pumping practical.

At times it may be necessary to refill a tank or vault with fresh water @ 25% capacity to keep tank from raising up due to ground water ( this would be i.e. a work order at the hourly rate ).· If the bottom of the vault is sloped (all vaults should be sloped a minimum of 1 in per ft.), then pump the waste down (at the deep end) to where the hose begins to suck air. Remove any remaining debris and then go inside the building with the pressure washer system and wash the remaining waste down the sloped bottom. Wash down the vault walls from inside the building or from the outside manhole, whichever is easier. Now pump out the remaining waste and the water that was just added by the pressure washer until the suction hose begins to suck too much air to make further pumping practical.

Thoroughly clean and disinfect all contaminated areas resulting from the pumping process. Either sweep or wash all waste that is deposited on the concrete surrounding the manhole cover, back into the vault if possible. The waste that runs off the edge of the concrete, onto the dirt or into the gravel edge, will be an attractant for flies; a potential health risk and an odor problem: This problem should be avoided.

Clean thoroughly around the manhole cover gasket area and replace the cover. The manhole cover MUST fit with an airtight seal so that the venting process of the vault toilet is not interfered with. If there is not an airtight seal, the Contractor shall notify the COR.

Pumping Through The Toilet Riser When There Is No Outside Manhole

The Contractor shall remove the toilet riser prior to pumping or removing debris. The Contractor shall not remove debris through or pump through the toilet riser without removing the riser.

Remove the debris and pump in accordance with C.2-2. Extra care shall be taken to prevent waste spillage onto the interior floor and wall surface while removing debris and while pumping. The toilet paper dispenser and toilet riser shall be protected from damage and the toilet paper shall be covered with a waterproof material prior to removing debris or pumping, in order to prevent the paper from getting contaminated. ·

During the final cleanup, the interior floor surface and any wall surface that was contaminated by waste shall be thoroughly disinfected. Again, every effort shall be made to sweep or wash the spilled waste back into the vault. The Contractor shall not allow the spilled waste to be washed or swept out through the front door because the waste will collect at the edge of the concrete and the dirt (or gravel) and will become an attractant for flies, a possible health risk for barefoot persons and an odor problem.

Thoroughly wash and disinfect both the inside and outside of the toilet riser and the seat and cover before replacing the riser. The toilet riser and seat shall be dry before the Contractor leaves the work site. Remove the waterproof covering that was protecting the toilet paper and make sure the paper did not get contaminated. If the paper did get contaminated, the Contractor shall notify the COR. The door handles or knobs shall also be disinfected and dry before the Contractor leaves the job site.. .

Each unit shall be available for immediate use after the pumping and final cleanup. The Contractor shall not leave any toilet location until final cleanup is accomplished.

In addition to vault toilet and septic tank pumping, a large amount of the work will be using the vac truck and pressure washer for preventive maintenance on the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Wastewater collection systems. The number of days and or hours cannot be predetermined. This will either be a work order or emergency in nature and will be hourly vs. per load.

Drafting of Water

Contractor may draft fresh water (to be used for washing down the vault walls, emulsification of the waste and for final cleanup) from lakes, ponds and streams under the following conditions: ·

· Drafting shall be accomplished where it least interferes with the public use of the facility and at areas least viewed by the public.

· No waste shall be introduced into any body of water.

· The COR shall approve all sites used for drafting water.

Offsite Disposal of Sewage and Debris

The Contractor shall be properly licensed by the state of Pennsylvania and shall be responsible for making disposal arrangements, including disposal of all effluent, debris, and trash, and payments of all fees. Normally disposal will take place at a Government furnished site (North Central Lagoon) at no cost to the contractor. An alternate disposal plan, and prior approval, of that plan must be in place at all times. Disposal shall conform to all Federal, State, and local laws and ordinances. COR shall approve all disposal sites before pumping begins.

The Contractor must still assume the responsibility of disposing of the waste at any suggested site.

The Contractor shall be responsible to prevent spillage and to haul all waste material (sewage and debris) in watertight containers. Handling of all waste material shall be in accordance with all applicable health regulations.

Conduct of Personnel

The Contractor and his/her employees shall make every reasonable effort to prevent interference with the normal use and occupancy of recreational areas while engaged in the performance of the contract.

Due to the nature of the duties under the contract, the Contractor and his/her employees shall keep themselves and equipment presentable at all times. The Contracting Officer may, in writing, require the Contractor to remove from the work site any employee the Contracting Officer deems incompetent, careless, discourteous to the public, or is otherwise objectionable, or for theft, possession and/or removal of materials, supplies, equipment, or any Government-owned property.

Resource Damage Any damage or defacement that occurs to government property or land resources during the Contractor's operations shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense to its original condition. Onsite inspection will be made by the COR prior to the acceptance of work.

BIOBASED PRODUCTS

All supplies and materials used in this contract and not provided by the government· shall be of a type and quantity that conform to applicable Federal specifications and standards, and to extend feasible and reasonable; include the exclusive use of biobased products.

The Contractor shall utilize products and material made from biobased materials (e.g., biobased cleaners, biobased degreasers, floor wax, etc.) to the maximum extent possible without jeopardizing the intended end use or detracting from the overall quality delivered to the end user. For the biobased content products evaluation, all non-chemical products proposed for use under this contract must conform to the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Designated Biobased Products List (DBPL) whenever practicable. Contractors should provide data for their biobased solvents and cleaners to document biobased content, and source of biobased material (i.e. particular crop or livestock). Any material which the COR suspects does not meet Federal specifications or standards shall be tested at the Contractor's expense by an independent testing laboratory qualified to perform such tests as. are required. A copy of the laboratory report giving the results of the test and a sample of each product, if requested; shall be submitted to the COR. These products shall meet .the requirements established by applicable Federal specifications and standards or be considered unacceptable for use.

Product Demonstration, Employee Training and Technical Assistance

USDA believes that a demonstration of how to use the products, free samples, an effective training program for the products selected, and technical assistance are central to the selection and eventual success of purchasing and using biobased products. USDA will look for vendors who will:

1) Demonstrate their products and leave free samples

2) When selected, offer effective training to all Forest Service staff and be available with technical assistance to trouble shoot problems.

Surveillance ·

The Government COR will receive complaints from Forest Service personnel and or the public and pass them to the contractor's Quality Control Inspector (QCI) for correction.
