The National Park Service (NPS¬), Interior Regions 8, 9, 10, and 12 is conducting market research to understand the numbers and types of contractors who can provide sewage wastewater removal and potable water deliveries at Alcatraz Island for Golden Gate National Recreation Area, in San Francisco, California. The work will consist of the following: SEWAGE WASTEWATER REMOVAL C. 9.1.1. General The waste handling system on Alcatraz removes and pumps waste byproducts from the five (5) restrooms to waste holding tanks located on the island dock prior to being pumped again to the first disconnect at the wharf. There are two 6,000 gallon tanks for waste material at the dock. One tank is designated for emergency use and must be maintained dry. The tanks are rotated into service on a monthly basis. There are 9 macerators total in the following positions: 2 at Dock restroom, 1 at Bldg 64 staff restroom, 2 at Water Tower staging area (Barbershop Plaza restroom), 2 at Quartermaster Warehouse staff restroom and 2 at Upper restroom. C. 9.1.2. Minimum Requirements The Contractor shall, in coordination with all parties involved with the Island¿s sewage system remove sewage wastewater every other day as needed from Alcatraz, in accordance with all Applicable Laws, codes, regulations, and policies. Changes in visitation levels and unexpected closures will reduce the frequency of removal. These operations must be conducted to avoid any disruption to ongoing Island operations, including but not limited to visitor services, ferry transport/use of the floating dock, scheduled barge runs and odor control. Estimated annual wastewater generated on Alcatraz is 3,000 gallons per day or 1,089,000 gallons per year. Sewage systems for the assigned are from the floating dock to the first upstream disconnect at the floating dock/fixed wharf demarcation, related support facilities and personal property. The frequency of removals may be reduced in the event of unexpected Park closure or reduction in visitation due to power outages, poor air quality, public health orders, or any other unforeseen circumstances. The Contractor shall provide and install on their equipment all necessary fittings and backflow prevention devices to mitigate spill risk and shall visually inspect tanks, pumps, hoses, piping, couplings and connections prior to each sewage pump out and transfer on board. Snake the line back to first disconnect on a monthly basis. The Contractor shall provide secondary containment or alternative system to manage odor and spillage for sewage transfer hose ends between pump outs and transfers at both Alcatraz Island and the mainland. If work occurs outside the hours of the regularly scheduled ferry service, the contractor shall provide island transportation for the NPS COR responsible for contract oversight, and as many NPS, partner and contractor (stand alone, limited duration island projects) staff allowable by USCG regulations for vessel type and size. The Contractor must also coordinate and receive approval from the COR prior to scheduling use of the dock by any vessel. Use of the wooden finger pier is at the Contractor¿s discretion. The mooring capacity of the wooden finger pier is limited. All effort should be made to utilize the adjacent concrete portion of the fixed wharf, to limit duration of time spent moored to the wooden finger pier should that be necessary and to avoid use of the wooden finger pier in severely inclement weather. The Contractor is responsible for any and all damage caused to any portions of the fixed wharf and finger pier during their use by the Contractor. C. 9.1.3. System Failure Contractor shall implement and maintain an updated Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan and adhere to all of the requirements specified therein. In the event of a system failure the Contractor shall notify the COR within 15 minutes of discovery. If a system failure results in a sewage spill, the Contractor shall comply with Reference Manual 83B4 Raw Sewage Spill Notification & Cleanup Guidance and clean up the spill at no cost to the Government. Effluent discharged on the ground or in the water shall be managed according to U.S. Public Health Service and State of California Water Quality Control Board standards, and reported as required to the National Park Service, GGNRA Dispatch Communication Center at 415-561-5505. Occasionally, during heavy rain events or due to the mechanical failure of the toilets on island, the designated sewage retention tanks fill at rate higher than anticipated under normal conditions. In this instance a tank alarm is signaled at the Ranger Dock Office, the COR is notified and emergency wastewater removal is then required. Under these circumstances, Emergency Service Call and Callback Response requirements apply. Contractor shall coordinate with the Preventative Maintenance and Custodial contractor to complete the post emergency callout Monthly Progress Reporting requirement. POTABLEWATER PROVISION C.9.2.1. General Potable water is stored in two tanks within the dock restroom totaling 1,200 gallons, in a 300 gallon tank at the upper restrooms near the cell house, and in a 100 gallon tank in the restroom adjacent to the cell house entrance to the audio tour. This system consists of a disconnect on the concrete dock, multiple valves, piping, water fountains, and holding tanks necessary for the safe operation of a drinking water system. Both the Dock and upper ¿Lighthouse¿ restrooms use waterless urinals and salt water for toilet flushing. Potable water is currently used for drinking, handwashing, rinsing/cleaning, pressure washing of bird guano, operation of 3 flush toilets and one urinal, fire suppression and to augment the existing rainwater catchment system for the island¿s historic gardens. Total annual potable water use is currently estimated at 181,500 gallons and fluctuates during High and Low Visitation seasons. The NPS is presently planning to eliminate or greatly reduce the provision of potable water for its gardens and bird guano pressure washing needs through an expansion of the existing rainwater capture system on island. Garden potable water use is presently estimated at 7,000 gallons per month for an annual total of 84,000 gallons. Potable water used for pressure washing bird guano activities is estimated at 4,500 gallons per month from Mid-May through September for a total of 20,250 gallons. C.9.2.2. Minimum Requirements The Contractor shall, in coordination with all parties involved with the Island¿s water system, deliver potable water to Alcatraz in accordance with all Applicable Laws, regulations, and policies. These operations must be conducted to avoid any disruption to ongoing Island operations, including but not limited to visitor services, ferry transport/use of the floating dock and scheduled barge runs. Hauling of potable water shall comply with the requirements of Directors Orders 83 Reference Manual 83A1 Drinking Water, Section K. The Contractor must comply with The Safe Drinking Water Act, PL 99-339, as amended, and the Environmental Protection Agency Safe Drinking Water regulations (40 CFR 141.43, sections A and D).
