This Performance Work Statement (PWS) describes the requirement to provide non-sewer portable latrines and hand wash stations and related services in support of the training facilities at various sites within the boundaries of the National Training Center (NTC) and surrounding areas of Fort Irwin, California. Specifically, latrines and hand wash stations shall be placed throughout the entire NTC, Barstow/Daggett, Marine Corps Logistics Base (MCLB) Yermo, and the Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA) located in Victorville, California.
Desert sand colored latrines and hand wash stations are required in keeping with the desert background which aids in making the training environment as realistic as possible and does not present a distraction. Desert terrain conditions consist of open areas, mountain ranges, valleys and hills. In many areas the terrain is rough and there are no paved roads outside of the main cantonment area. Temperatures average from a summer high of 120 degrees Fahrenheit to a low in winter of 37 degrees Fahrenheit. Average precipitation is 4 to 6 inches per year. High severe winds are common.
The contractor shall provide non-sewer portable latrines and hand wash stations and related services in support of the training areas & facilities at various sites within the training areas described. Services will include delivery, setup, daily servicing, relocation, repair, and removal of contractor provided equipment. Latrines and hand wash stations in usage areas are to be in fully serviceable condition at all times. Historically the ratio of latrines has been one (1) latrine for every 25 males or 18 females. Hand wash stations have been approximately one (1) for every ten (10) latrines. Combined requirements typically consist of placement of 700-8,000 latrines and hand wash stations simultaneously.
