Questions & Answers

1. Q: Who is the incumbent (current vendor) for the contract?

A: NEIE Med Waste Svc (Clean Earth subcontractor)

1. Q: What is the budget or spend for these services in 2024, 2025, and 2026 (YTD)?

A: Budget or spend numbers cannot be provided.

1. Q: Would it be possible to obtain copies of manifests for 2024, 2025, and 2026 waste shipments?

A: Manifests attached to amendment, see attachment 8.

1. Q: What do the non-standard decimal quantities in the pricing sheet represent (e.g., Corrosive liquids 0.75 Dr, Flammable liquids 1.5 Dr), and how should these partial units be calculated?

A: It’s the percentage of the unit of measure or one DR (drum). For example, .75 is ¾ of one DR (drum).

1. Q: What are the exact specifications and pictures for the 1-gallon and 5-gallon black industry containers, and what mounting hardware or installation labor is expected?

A: Mounting hardware/installation not requested; no exact specifications; need a variety of containers available for request to pack hazardous waste in.

1. Q: Since Montana follows EPA Subpart P for healthcare facilities, how does the agency classify pharmaceutical waste, and does "P & U waste" still apply?

A: We classify pharmaceutical waste as either Hazardous Pharmaceutical Waste, Non-Hazardous Pharmaceutical Waste, or Bulk Chemo (previously called P&U waste). The pharmacy’s hazardous drug compounding room puts waste into separate containers from the rest of the pharmacy.

1. Q: Historically, how much lab packing is required per pickup, how many hours of on-site labor are needed per facility, and will the agency accept Time & Materials (T&M) rates instead of fully wrapped line-item pricing?

A: Hazardous waste for disposal is stored in the hazardous waste shed/Connex. This includes all lab pack items. Historically, it has taken the driver an hour, maybe 2 tops, to overpack items for shipment.

1. Q: Can the agency provide the official Service Contract Act / Prevailing Wage rate sheet for these service locations?

A: The applicable wage determinations have been included; see attachments 1-7.
