GOC5935184 + GOC6767446 - Septic System Replacement

Scope of Work/Overview:
The intent of this project is ensure CBSA Del Bonita and Cartwright Port of Entry (POEs) have fully functional septic system (includes septic tank + septic field) to accommodate the needs of travelers and Port Officers. The project would need to review/evaluate the existing septic system to determine where the deficiencies are, create a scope of work to address and complete the required repairs. The current system is not functioning as expected and there is potential for future failures. It is believed that some of the septic lines have deteriorated, and the septic tank could be leaking. Once the old tank has been dug out and disposed of, the ground may require remediation if any of the effluent has leaked over time. New pump(s) should be part of the replacement as well.
