Specifications include, but are not limited to: The awarded contractor(s) shall be responsible for providing cleaning catch basin. It should be noted that the majority of the participating communities have indicated a preference for the vacuum method of cleaning, as opposed to the scoop method. Upon completion of each job, catch basins must be free of debris to a degree that will ensure their efficient operation. Such degree of cleanliness is to be reasonably determined by each community’s highway superintendent(s) or their agent. The contractor may be recalled to re-clean any unsatisfactorily cleaned basin(s) without charge. The awarded contractor shall be responsible for the proper disposition of all materials collected during the cleaning process. Each respective town’s highway superintendent (or his or her agent) will be responsible for communicating, in writing, where said materials shall be dumped (e.g. town landfill, sand pit for recycling, out-of-town location, etc.). Bid prices furnished on a per basin basis shall cover the disposition of materials at town dumpsites. Any arrangements that are made to dump materials outside the town will be subject to separate hauling/trucking fees, to be quoted on an hourly basis. Finally, it shall be understood that any related tipping/dumping fees incurred by the awarded vendor will be passed through to the respective town on subsequent invoices.
