Solicitation Number: RFI889607099

Contracting Office Address: PWR - HALE Haleakala NP National Park Service P.O. Box 369 Makawao HI 96768

Description: The National Park Service (NPS) announces a market survey to obtain market information from potential contractors regarding business type, size, and capabilities to accomplish refuse collection and disposal services for waste generated at Kalaupapa National Historical Park, located on the Kalaupapa peninsula of the island of Molokai.

Waste generation estimates range from approximately 92 tons per year currently to up to 249 tons per year in the future. To reduce the environmental impacts of waste disposal, the NPS plans to implement a comprehensive program that includes three components: 1) recycling; 2) composting and; 3) disposal. Based on the waste composition, it is estimated that 26% of the tonnage generated can be recycled, 37% composted and the remainder 37% to be disposed of. It is also estimated that approximately an additional 60-65 tons per year of construction & demolition (C&D) debris from building maintenance activities will be generated from Kalaupapa for disposal. The NPS will collect, process and package the waste at Kalaupapa to facilitate transportation and disposal.

The information gathered from this Sources Sought notice will be used in the formulation of the acquisition strategy for this requirement. A period of performance of a 12-month base period plus four 12-month options is anticipated.

The Contractor shall be responsible for providing all necessary management, supervision, personnel, equipment necessary to pick up the waste as described below, and transport it to a certified disposal or recycling facility for disposal, and transporting empty containers back to Honolulu dock for shipment on the annual NPS barge to Kalaupapa. II.

Scope of Services Recycling 1. Over the course of each year, the NPS will collect and store the recyclables (current estimate of 35 tons to future estimate of 57 tons, including paper, plastic, and metals), compacting them into 60"x48"x30" bales. Each bale will contain the same recyclable, e.g. corrugated cardboard, office paper, HDPE plastic, PET plastic, aluminum cans, etc.

The bales will be stored at Kalaupapa National Historical Park in 20 ft. cargo containers. The number of cargo containers is anticipated to be 2 to 3 per year initially and may increase to 6 to 7 containers per year in the future. Once yearly, NPS will barge the full cargo containers from Kalaupapa to the Port of Honolulu. 2. For the initial year (anticipated to be 2008), the barge sailing day will be in July and the contractor would provide pick-up and delivery of empty containers from a leasing company, (under separate contract w/NPS), to the Port of Honolulu for transport to Kalaupapa by barge. ii. For subsequent years, the barge sailing day would also be in July. The contractor would provide pick-up and delivery of empty containers from the leasing company to the Port of Honolulu for barge transport to Kalaupapa.

Upon the barge's return from Kalaupapa approximately five to seven days later, contractor would provide pick-up and transport of filled containers from the Port of Honolulu to an authorized recycler in Honolulu, and return the newly emptied containers to the leasing company.

B. Air Transport of Packaged Refuse and Disposal from Kalaupapa to Landfill

1. After diversion to recycling and on-site composting, NPS will compact and package the remaining waste into small cubes, approximately 20"x 20"x 18", and 40 lbs per cube.

The current estimated quantity is about 28 cubes per week. This quantity may increase to up to 70 cubes per week in the future.

2. NPS will package waste twice a week (possibly reducing to once a week in the future). It is desired that the packages be transported on the same or next day of packaging to minimize the attractive nuisance. NPS will transport these cubes to the Kalaupapa airport for contractor pick-up. 3. Service is anticipated to begin in fiscal year 2008, starting in October 2007 through September 2008. The contractor would provide air transportation for the packages from Kalaupapa to Honolulu Airport and then on to final disposal at an approved landfill or to a waste-to-energy facility in Honolulu. C Hauling and Disposal of Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste 1. Once a year, NPS will barge an estimated 60-65 tons of C&D waste from Kalaupapa National Historical Park to the Port of Honolulu, typically in July. 2. Contractor provides containers on a yearly basis to Kalaupapa, beginning in 2008, to contain C&D waste as it being generated from Park activities. The full containers would be placed by the NPS on the NPS barge in July of the following year and transported from Kalaupapa NHP to the Port of Honolulu. The contractor would then pick up the full containers at the Port of Honolulu, and transport them to an authorized C&D landfill for disposal. The replacement container set would need to be delivered to the barge company approximately 5 days prior to the sailing date to Kalaupapa. The full containers from Kalaupapa need to be picked up from the Port of Honolulu within the time as agreed to by the barge company (generally within one day of barge arrival). NPS will barge empty containers to Kaluapapa and offload them. Service will begin July 2008 for providing an empty set of containers only, and full service as described above will commence in July 2009. D.
