26LS0003_-_Exhibit_B-1_Rate_Sheet.xlsm

This is a Rate Sheet submission form for the California Department of Veterans Affairs solicitation 26LS0003 regarding bio-hazardous, pharmaceutical, and cytotoxic medical waste pick-up and disposal services, restricted to Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) only. The solicitation requires proposers to provide pricing for two primary service categories: monthly biohazard medical waste and pharmaceutical waste pick-up with an estimated 80 pounds per service visit occurring 36 times annually, and unscheduled or emergency pick-up services for biohazard medical waste and pharmaceutical waste with an estimated 80 pounds per service occurring 12 times annually. The rate sheet is a mandatory submission component that will become part of the executed agreement upon award, and proposers must submit completed quotes via email in accordance with solicitation instructions. The State makes no guarantee regarding the actual volume of services required, as demand is subject to change based on the needs of the facility.

Pricing shall be quoted on a per-pound basis for each service category, with the sum of the monthly and emergency service costs forming the basis of award to determine the lowest responsible quote. All quoted rates are binding for the full term of the agreement. Proposers must complete the rate sheet with company name, representative name and signature, and submit the document as part of their proposal response. Failure to provide a dollar amount for any line item will be interpreted as the proposer providing that service at no cost.
