Lift station service is required semi-annually and encompasses pumping out all liquids, oils, fuels, solids, grease, sand, and debris; pressure washing or manual cleaning; equipment inspection; and written Service Completion Reports. General or confined space entry services are acceptable. Grease trap service is required monthly and includes skimming grease from the water surface, removing buildup on trap walls, pumping out residuals, ensuring unrestricted flow in inlet/outlet pipes, and notifying the Contracting Officer of deficiencies. All waste must be disposed of at approved off-site facilities in accordance with local, state, and federal health requirements. Contractor employees must complete OSHA training in walking and working surfaces, holes and guard rail systems, and covers prior to commencing work. Emergency service calls require contractor response within two hours and on-site arrival within four hours.

Interested sources should submit company information, business size classification (including SDVOSB/VOSB status), NAICS code determination, manufacturing or distributor status, capabilities demonstrating ability to meet requirements, and SAM UEI number via email to Stephen.Parrott@va.gov.
