Red River Army Depot has a requirement for Portable Chemical Toilets and Hand Wash Stations, Base and Four Option Year contract. Only one award will result from solicitation W911RQ-16-R-0008. Portable chemical toilets and sewage pumping services are to be provided by this contract. Chemical toilets are delivered, serviced and maintained for the use of Red River Army Depot (RRAD) employees, contractors and customers working away from restroom facilities. Pumping and cleaning is accomplished for portable toilets and septic tanks. Red River Army Depot has seen a significant increase in the number and frequency of visiting units training for our vehicle rebuild operations which has meant an increase, and will surely continue in the number of short-term rental toilets required, as well as the frequency of extra cleanings and even a gradual increase in the number of permanent locations. The Contractor should be aware of these increasing requirements and be prepared for such contingencies. The objective of this effort is to furnish, service and maintain portable chemical toilets in clean and usable condition, and to accomplish pumping services for the required facilities in the most efficient and thorough manner. Qualified, capable personnel and appropriate equipment in good operating condition are required for the functioning of the contract.

Toilets should be set in placed within four hours when requested by COR. All units must be cleaned and supplied regularly with toilet paper and appropriate chemical solutions as indicated on the bid schedule.
