The Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in Lima, Montana, has issued a request for the pumping of eight septic tanks, which includes two residential, two operational, and four vault toilet tanks. These tanks, located near the Headquarters compound and in campgrounds, have not been serviced since October 2023, necessitating an estimated 1,000 gallons of effluent to be pumped from each. The service is expected to occur between May and September 2025, accommodating weather and road conditions. Tasks involved include locating, opening, and pumping the tanks, along with off-site effluent disposal and site restoration. The vault toilets will require additional cleaning processes. The request aims to complete service on tanks previously unserviced in November 2024, ensuring proper sanitation and functionality within the refuge for the year ahead.

The document outlines the requirements for vendors submitting proposals regarding past experience and references for a federal contract. It instructs quoters to provide up to three examples of relevant experience, detailing contracts similar in size and complexity to the requested services. Each entry must include specifics such as contract numbers, total value, agency details, contact information, and a brief description of duties performed.

Vendors must submit their completed forms by the specified deadline to Dana Arnold via email. The focus of this form is to ensure that interested parties can demonstrate their capability and previous success in similar roles, which is critical for evaluation and selection in the government contracting process.
