C153A019

The California Department of Parks and Recreation, Sierra District, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for vault toilet and holding tank pumping services at Emerald Bay State Park under Contract C153A019. The procurement covers comprehensive service requirements for multiple tanks located at Boat Camp and Vikingsholm in El Dorado County, including a 750-gallon vault at Vikingsholm Apartment, a 3,000-gallon public vault at Vikingsholm, two 500-gallon vaults at Boat Camp, and a 300-gallon holding tank at Boat Camp-Camp Host. Contractors must provide all necessary labor, tools, and equipment to perform monthly pumping services, with vault tanks to be serviced in the 4th week of each month and holding tanks in the 2nd and 4th weeks. The bid requires complete submission for all items, with zero bids resulting in automatic rejection. Bids are due on February 25, 2016 at 3:00 PM, with the contract term spanning from May 1, 2016 through September 30, 2016. Contractors must demonstrate capability to properly dispose of waste at approved sites and provide comprehensive documentation while adhering to all safety and environmental regulations.

The procurement includes Small Business (SB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) components, with the DVBE participation requirement waived but the DVBE incentive remaining applicable. Small businesses may receive a 5% bid preference, with non-certified businesses eligible for the same preference by subcontracting 25% to certified Small Businesses, capped at $50,000 per bid. Insurance requirements mandate $1 million in general liability and motor vehicle liability coverage. Billing will occur monthly in arrears based on actual services performed. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract appears designed to provide flexibility for qualified vendors who can meet the technical and regulatory requirements of waste management services in a state park environment. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range, but the monthly billing structure suggests potential variability in service requirements and corresponding compensation.
