Refuse collection services in support of Fort Jackson, SC

The Contractor shall plan, program and provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, collection systems, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform collection, disposal, and other related waste management as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS).

The Basic Training Center of Excellence, Fort Jackson, SC 29207, is located within the City of Columbia, SC. The installation covers an area of about 53,000 acres in one main area. The cantonment area consists of about 14,000 acres with the balance being unimproved training areas. Troop strength in barracks areas is expected to grow.

Currently new barracks facilities are being constructed and/or are in the planning process. Historically, November 2008 to November 2014, the tonnage of nonresidential refuse removed monthly from the installation ranged from approximately 670 to 1100 tons, averaging 900 tons per month.

The Cantonment Area includes, but is not limited to: barracks, administrative/ headquarters and other office buildings, warehouses, dining facilities, medical facilities, motor pools, stores, restaurants, training facilities, training areas and other buildings as required and as ordered including some building renovation construction sites. Approximately 341 (Government owned) containers are serviced in the cantonment area. The number of containers varies as required because new facilities are being constructed, existing facilities are being renovated, and other facilities will be demolished.

Fort Jackson requires flexibility to respond to facility changes as well as variations in the total personnel trained on the installation. Fort Jackson has picked up additional missions in the past that increase the number of people on the installation, thereby increasing the amount of refuse generated.

Objectives: The objectives shall include, but not limited to increasing the overall responsiveness, quality, final site condition, and acceptability to the customer. The contractor shall perform to the standards in the contract as well as comply with the latest installation, local, state, and federal regulations.

Remove, collect and dispose of refuse generated on Fort Jackson,
Maintain records of collections and amount of refuse disposed,
Maintain compliance with all local, State and federal regulations governing solid waste collection and disposal.
Conservation of resources; the Government believes that the best efficiencies are obtained if the containers are emptied only when full and the refuse transport truck hauls the most refuse, as safely possible, to the disposal site.
