Albany, CA Medical Waste Services Q&A
Q1: What is the quantity we are pricing?
A1: The average generation quantity is 500lbs per week as stated in the Statement of Work sections 1.1 and 3.1.
Q2: How do we submit pricing?
A2: There should be a weekly price for the 52 weeks of the base year and also each of the option years. The weekly price will be multiplied by 52 and the base year and all option years added together for a total evaluated price. Please consult the Terms and Conditions attachment for more information.
Q3: There is no California permit to incinerate waste, will a transfer permit for out of state incineration work. Waste is also disposed of by alternate methods.
A3: The SOW para. 3.3 states “disposal of medical waste by incineration or other acceptable treatment method” The evaluation factors require proof of the ability to legally incinerate waste. The contractor’s proposal shall demonstrate how the contractor will legally incinerate waste that requires incineration. If waste is incinerated out of state, then a transfer permit and summary of the process would suffice. If an alternate method of disposal is used (other acceptable method) which is lawful, that should be described in detail.
Q4: Animal Carcasses are considered Pathological waste. Will they be separating the pathological waste from the biohazardous waste? Or over classifying everything as path waste?
This will affect how we price this project.
A4: All waste will be classified as path waste because of the presence of animal carcasses and prion waste.
Q5: We will need to know how large the animal carcasses are in terms of weight and will also need to know what kinds of animals we are dealing with.
A5: The only animal carcasses will be mice, rats and hamsters
