The Corps of Engineers at Caven Point Terminal intends to contract for the delivery and pickup of one 40 CY dumpster, a 30 CY dumpster and a 10 CY dumpster to accept garbage, construction waste, fiberglass boats, tires, plastics, styrofoam, etc. It is estimated that the 40 CY dumpster will require 6 exchanges, the 30 CY dumpster will require 18 exchanges and the 10 CY dumpster will require 6 exchanges. These estimates may vary. If the quantity is exceeded by an amount up to one-third of the stated quantities, the vendor is required to charge the unit bid price. The vendor must leave an empty 30 CY dumpster when a loaded 30 CY dumpster is picked up without a specific instruction. Pickup of loaded dumpsters will be scheduled upon call to the vendor from a Physical Support Branch employee. The EPA ID # for Caven Point is NJ4210022501. The contractor shall also furnish and maintain in operation a 20 CY electrical trash compactor. Operation of the compactor shall be by government personnel.
