SPECIFICATIONSThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is requesting quotes for septic pumping at 33665 Keystone Drive off of East Redoubt in Soldotna, Alaska. Pumping will be on a regular schedule of every 2 weeks. The Contractor will furnish septic pumping services, which includes all equipment, supervision, transportation, labor, operating supplies, and incidentals necessary to pump, clean up, and dispose of all waste products removed from the septic tank. Salient Characteristics:Outhouses:Furnish when called, within 24 hours or less, toilet pumping services which includes all equipment, supervision, transportation, labor, operating supplies, and incidentals necessary to pump and remove, clean up, disinfect, and dispose of all waste products removed from the toilets. Pumping includes sewage, liquid, semi-liquid, and solid waste matter. This includes removal of any other refuse found in vault toilets regardless of the method of removal. Thoroughly clean and disinfect all contaminated areas resulting from pumping around the pump-out cover. Sweep or wash all waste that is deposited on the concrete surrounding the pump-out cover back into the vault. When pumping through the toilet riser when there is no outside pump-out, debris should not be removed or pumped through the toilet riser without removing the riser. Extra care shall be taken to prevent waste spillage onto the floor and wall surface while pumping, in order to prevent the toilet paper from becoming contaminated or otherwise unusable. Sweep or wash all of the spilled waste back into the vault. The contractor shall not allow the spilled waste to be washed or swept out through the door because the waste will collect at the edge of the concrete and the dirt or gravel and will become a possible health risk and an odor problem. In the event spillage occurs, the affected floor and wall surfaces will be washed and disinfected. The inside and outside of the toilet riser, the seat, and the cover shall also be washed and disinfected before replacing the riser, if the riser was removed for pumping. The door handles or knobs shall also be disinfected if they were used in the course of pumping. The contractor is responsible to prevent spillage and to be properly licensed. Kenai NWR will provide a map and listing of outhouses. Please privde a quote for two scenarios: 1) with use of the dump station and 2) without use of the dump station. If the use of the Skilak Dump station is selected the contractor will only dump liquid/semi-solid and solid wastes which were removed from Kenai NWR outhouses. No other dumping is allowed at this site under any circumstances. If the use of the Skilak Dump station is not selected the contractor is responsible for transport, dumping, and any other costs associated for dumping at a fully permitted site, licensed, and approved by Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and meeting all borough, state, and federal regulations.
