Bulk Waste. a. The term Bulk Waste, for purposes of this contract, refers to waste that is typically removed via rolloff boxes, tanker trucks, and vacuum trucks. Rolloff box refers to an open-top dumpster with a rectangular footprint, utilizing wheels to facilitate rolling the dumpster onto and off of a rolloff truck, and is used to contain and transport loads of various types of solid waste such as soil and debris. Rolloff boxes will not be used to turn in wastes comprised largely or in part of free-flowing liquids or sludges where there is a potential for spillage when loading or unloading the rolloff box onto or off of a rolloff truck or trailer. Tanker truck refers to a truck with a tank body or with vacuum-loaded or pump-loaded trailer, suitable for transporting liquids in bulk. Vacuum truck refers to a truck with a vacuum-loading capability designed to pneumatically pull high- and low-viscosity liquids, sludges, slurries, or mixtures of silt and water into a tank body without contact between the liquid and any mechanical equipment. Pumpable liquid wastes that are removed via totes, also known as portable tanks and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC), are also considered bulk waste. Bulk waste does not refer to containerized wastes including waste contained in pails, drums, cubic yard boxes or military tri-wall boxes. b. The term Heavy Solids, for purposes of this contract, refers to heavy waste solids, sludges and debris with a density greater than 600 Lbs/yd3 and shall be ordered using the bulk CLIN suffix “B1”, “B2”, “B3”, or “B4”, denoting pounds. The bulk CLIN suffix is assigned based on the net weight of each heavy bulk solids load. For ordering, billing and reporting purposes, “LB” is used as the unit of measure (U/M) referring to pounds. If a bulk heavy solids load with a net weight of less than 10,000 Lbs is ordered, the bulk CLIN suffix “B1” will be used. Loads weighing 10,000 to 20,000 Lbs will be assigned CLIN suffix “B2”. Loads weighing 20,000 to 30,000 Lbs will be assigned CLIN suffix “B3”. Loads weighing more than 30,000 Lbs will be assigned CLIN suffix “B4”. For example, if a rolloff box contains 28,000 Lbs of heavy solids/debris (e.g., Base CLIN NR91), the Generator shall order and pay for the disposal of 28,000 LB under CLIN NR91B2. Weights shall be determined using certified Government scales when available, or certified commercial scales when Government scales are not available. Prior to removal and when possible, the net weight of the waste shall be determined and agreed upon by both the Government representative and the Contractor.
