DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK Scope of Contract. The USDA Forest Service, Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, Salmon River Ranger District requires portable toilet pumping services for boaters coming off the Main Salmon River. Historically, since the late 1990's the SCAT machine has provided service to the Main Salmon boating community out of the Riggins, Idaho Chevron Gas Station. All river users, including jet boat and float boat users are required to carry out all human waste (fecal matter) in an improved human waste carryout system and dispose of properly at an approved disposal site. In the late fall of 2017 the Government was notified that the new owners of the Riggins-Chevron were no longer interested in continuing the agreement. Due to the SCAT machine agreement no longer being in place the Government requires contracted services for a 3-month period. The scope of work includes pumping human waste carry-out systems for both public and commercial groups. Human waste carryout is a requirement for all float and jet boat parties recreating and conducting business on the Main Salmon. Human waste carry-out systems typically are the size of a 5 gallon bucket and contain solid human waste (fecal matter) as well as urine/water. No RV pumping services are to be provided. P umping services are solely for float and jet boat parties exiting the Main Salmon and potential adjacent rivers. A pre-determined pull-out along the Big Salmon River Road has been identified, which is approximately 3 miles east of Riggins, ID. Description of Work. Contract pumping services with a private septic/sanitation company. A self-contained pumper truck will need be stationed along the Big Salmon River Road at a pre-determined location adjacent to BLM Shorts Bar recreation site. An adequate pull-out has been identified and made available for staging contract services, while offering an area for float parties to pull over and have their toilets pumped. Portable toilets typically range from 5-7 gallons in size and come in forms of buckets and/or metal ammo cans. Upon groups arriving at the pumping site, the Contractor will then pump the portable toilet free of fecal matter. Water will need to be provided by the Contractor to aide in removing waste from the toilet system. The Government estimates the Contractor will have to fill the system 2-3 times with water to adequately remove solids. The toilet systems will by no means be considered sanitary/cleansed. However, the majority of all fecal matter will be removed. T he Forest Service, through education efforts, will also be notifying boaters upon exiting the river to add water to their toilet systems as they leave the boat ramp. S ince the toilets are typically free of urine and in a solid state, this will aide in helping break down some of the solid matter as they drive from the takeout to the pumping site.   As part of managing the SCAT machine, which is no longer in service, a meter was installed to monitor use. Each time the SCAT machine was used by floaters the meter registered a cycle and/or use. This is relative to get an idea regarding the amount of use the Contractor can anticipate. The following shows how many uses/cycles the SCAT machine ran during June - September, 2017. June - 110 cycles July - 315 cycles August - 323 cycles September - 275 cycles The total = 1023 times the SCAT Machine was utilized by the public and outfitters within a 4-month period. This equates to approximately 8.5 times/day the SCAT machine was used. This number can help assist in giving the Contractor an estimate of how often and what volume the Contractor can anticipate seeing on a daily basis. While 8.5 is an estimate, the Government anticipates the Contractor seeing anywhere from 6-12 float parties per day pulling over for pumping services. Groups may also have more than one toilet system within their party. However, based on the SCAT machine meter it still equates to approximately 8.5 toilets being pumped per day. Project Location. Pull-out located on Big Salmon River Road adjacent to Shorts Bar BLM Recreational Site approximately 3 miles east of Riggins, ID. Specifications. Provide waste pumping services and non-potable water to assist boaters in cleaning portable toilets 7 days a week from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time Zone during the period of June 20 2018 - September 20, 2018. Waste shall be disposed of at an approved waste facility center. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA Billing Procedures. (a) Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).
