Answer: EMS goal is to provide a container that is hands free and operated by foot control.

5. Are the counts or quantities listed on Attachment “A” accurate as to the number and sizes of sharps containers?

Answer: The current sheet is approximately 1 year in age and while some of the locations may have changed, the count is fairly accurate. The proposed contract type should allow for variances of containers throughout the facility as this is an ever changing number. The sizes of containers also vary throughout the facility and as was explained when the offerors representative conducted a site visit, some areas require smaller containers and some areas go with the standard 4 gallon sharp containers. This also will vary greatly throughout the contract as our customers’ needs will change and EMS fulfills customer requests.

6. What are the quantity and sizes of chemo, path, and pharm containers currently located throughout the facilities?

Answer: The current vendor provides the following containers which satisfies our needs, numbers vary on a daily basis:
