TE-V Solid Waste Performance Standards.xlsx

This file is a performance standards spreadsheet for solid waste management services at Fort Hood, establishing service level requirements across four performance tiers (Green, Amber, Red, and Black) based on collection frequency and response times.

The document defines minimum service levels for routine solid waste collection and transfer operations, including non-hazardous solid waste dumpster collection (ranging from twice weekly at Green level to twice monthly at Black level, or based on container fullness thresholds of 65% to 95%), refuse dumpster cleaning (annually to three times yearly), food waste container cleaning (annually to three times yearly), and container appearance maintenance (annually to twice yearly). For periodic unscheduled events such as storms, disasters, overflows, and special events, response times range from eight hours at the Green level to forty-eight hours at the Black level. The document specifies that food waste containers must be picked up weekly at minimum with frequency adjustments made by the contractor and approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative to prevent vector attraction and nuisances including odors and pests. Pricing should be volume and weight-driven rather than based solely on annual fees or per-container pickup costs. The standards reference 40 CFR Part 243, AR 420-1, and TB MED 530 as applicable regulatory guidance. This spreadsheet serves as the performance baseline for the Fort Hood Solid Waste Services solicitation (W91151-26-R-A003), with a pre-proposal site visit scheduled for May 27, 2026, and technical questions due by May 29, 2026.
