The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for non-hazardous waste disposal via air transport for the Kalaupapa National Historical Park in Hawaii. The park, home to an active community of Hansen’s disease patients, generates approximately 15 tons of waste annually, with 50% earmarked for recycling, 28% for composting, and 22% for disposal. The National Park Service (NPS) will separate and process waste materials for transport to an approved landfill or waste-to-energy facility. The contractor must provide air transportation services, ensuring all waste bales are collected, processed, and transported twice weekly, ideally on Tuesdays. The contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary permits, licenses, and insurance, as well as maintaining adequate transport equipment. The NPS will supply transportation from the waste collection point to the airport. Moreover, the contractor must ensure personnel comply with local regulations and ensure safety within the park. Contractors must invoice electronically, and payment will be based on the actual weight of disposed waste. This effort reflects the NPS commitment to environmentally responsible waste management within the unique context of a historical and sensitive community.
