Q&A

# Question VA Response

1 Please advise do we have to immediately transport whatever we package to the incinerator on the same truck that is doing the work on site, and we cannot bring the drums to a 10-day TTT or transfer to another truck to transport to the incinerator?

There is no requirement to immediately transport the hazardous waste to the incinerator. We would like the destruct manifest within 30 days. We understand that some businesses may make multiple pick-ups over a given timeframe. There is no requirement preventing the switching of trucks used for transport.

2 Can you please elaborate what type of emergency are expected?

We do not expect any emergencies to happen but would like the ability for response given an emergency.

3 Do we have a provision to add separate line items if we have to. Example – for ER rates.

You may include pricing. That pricing must be included in your total price. You may use an estimated quantity of 2 emergencies per year for the calculation.

4 Is prevailing wage included in this contract?

Service Contract Act WD 2015-5369 is included as attachment D.2 and will apply to this contract.

5 Is there a specific requirement of pallets, dropship, or any?

No. There is not a requirement of pallets, dropship, or any mentioned in the PWS.

6 What is required date for delivery ? The tentative start date is 9/16/24 and can occur anytime during the stated hours of operation stated in the PWS

7 The UN packaging designations call for hazard materials. Do you have SDS sheets for what each container will be storing?

If there is a specific material that is added to a container and the vendor requests a SDS, one will be furnished.

8 Please suggest estimated volumes per delivery.

The annual estimated volumes are contained within section B.3 of this RFQ.

9 What is the size of waste Propane cylinder?

The cylinder sizes would be H-sized, K sized, and 34L (B) (3.13 in Diameter x 10.64 in Height.). The majority of the cylinders would be 34L.

10 What is the type(cylinder or cartridges) and size of waste Nitrous oxide mixture.

K sized cylinders

11 Will reverse distribution be considered along the hazardous waste and control medication destruction for the RFQ?

The reverse distribution can be scheduled separately. It does not have to happen on the same day.
