The Contractor shall remain flexible to add to the requirement, incase additional locked collection bins are needed. The ability to adjust the number of containers per month shall be available to El Paso Veterans Administration Health Care System. The Contractor is only allowed to add or subtract containers under the direction of the Contracting Officer / Contracting Officer Representative. If another EPVAHCS employee approaches the Contractor requesting additional bin(s), the Contractor will instruct the employee to coordinate this request with the EPVAHCS COR. If the COR approves the addition of container(s) to meet the needs of the facility, this will be provided accordance with the fees listed in the Contract schedule.

3. Containers shall have a slotted lid or front panel through which documents may be inserted and a locking access door. The containers must protect against unauthorized access (i.e., reaching through an opening to retrieve a document, bypassing the locking mechanism with a device other than a key, etc.). All locked containers shall use the same key lock or key code. The size of containers shall vary according to the location. The locked containers shall be aesthetically compatible with the facility’s interior design scheme. The Contractor shall also provide additional locked containers at each EPVAHCS location for use between Contractor pickups.

When servicing all other sites, the contractor’s employee (providing service) should report to the Supervisor, Manager, Administrative Officer, Program Service Assistant, or Secretary of the facility at the end of every visit and retrieve any necessary signatures. The Contractor is responsible for checking and emptying ALL bins on the schedule at each visit. Pickup schedule for each location shall be coordinated with the COR. Once the schedule is established, all shredding will occur on the same day of the week (Wednesday). If the regularly scheduled shredding day falls on a national holiday, the Contractor may perform the service either the day prior to or the day after the holiday and will inform the COR of the revised shredding day. All missed services must be documented on the Certification of Destruction giving time of visit and reason why service was missed.

5. In the event that additional on-site shredding is needed, the Contractor shall be available within 48 hours of receiving notice from EPVAHCS to provide unscheduled service. The price for such service shall be in accordance with the fees listed in the Contract schedule.

6. All shredding must be done on-site at the EPVAHCS facility where the containers are emptied. In accordance with VA Handbook 6300.1, Records Management Procedures, all on-site shredding done under this contract must be witnessed by a Federal Employee or a Contractor Employee. After final destruction, the information in the documents must be rendered unrecognizable. If shredding is not the final destruction method (i.e., it is only an interim step in the destruction process), then shredding to standards on site is not required, but the shredded material must be secured until it is no longer readable or cannot be reconstructed, which means material must be pulverized, bleached, pulped, or fully destroyed by other means. The Contractor will specify which method of final destruction will be used.

The certificate should be delivered to the EPVAHCS COR within (2) working days of each pickup. The contractor shall maintain proper records concerning each Certificate of Destruction issued. The Certificate of Destruction shall as a minimum contain the following:

b. Pickup/Delivery Date

c. If the Contracting Officer finds it in the best interest of the Government, she/he may, at any time during the performance of this contract, order the Contractor to remove any of his/her personnel from further performance under this contract for reasons of their moral character, unethical conduct, security risk and violation of on-site facility rules.
