0.1 CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE

The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) is a USG Representative designated by the KO and is authorized in writing to perform specific technical or administrative functions. The Contractor will receive a copy of the written COR designation. It will specify the extent of the COR's authority to act on behalf of the KO. The COR is not authorized to make any commitments or changes that will affect price, quality, quantity, delivery, or any other term or condition of the contract.

1.0 REMOVAL PHASES

The requirements for removal of wastes under this contract are divided into three main phases: Pre-Removal (1.1), Removal (1.2), and Post-Removal (1.3). The Contractor and their Subcontractors must always perform in a prudent, conscientious, safe, and professional manner. The Contractor shall ensure that its agents, employees, and Subcontractors involved in handling and packaging the hazardous waste be trained for the level of expertise required for the proper performance of the task and in the areas of chemical incompatibility, general first aid procedures, and spills. The Contractor shall provide all Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) unless otherwise stated. The PPE must be appropriate to safely handle the hazardous waste to include meeting any additional military installation specific requirements. The Contractor agrees that all personnel and equipment used in the performance of this contract are subject to safety inspections by USG personnel while on Federal Property.

1.1 PRE-REMOVAL

a. Except as may otherwise be specified herein, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and the USG representative for each location, at least fifteen (15) business days BEFORE attempting site visits, analysis, or pickups. Discrepancies associated with the containers, markings, and/or labeling of containers shall be corrected during the pre-removal inspection. Containers discrepancies shall be reported to the COR on the day of discovery for resolution. If not corrected, the Contractor may reject tendered HW containers that are not compliant with transportation regulations.

b. If the Contractor asserts that a non-compliant container has been used, the burden of proof lies with the Contractor. The Contractor must provide written documentation electronically to the KO and COR within 15 business days supporting the assertion and to validate the discovery and rejection. After review of the documentation, the Contractor will be notified by the KO of the USG’s final determination.

1.1.1 CLIN SELECTION CRITERIA

CLINs are assigned to waste streams by the Government, and are designed around treatment, and disposal technology standards. US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, including Proper Shipping Name (PSN) and Hazard Class are not a basis for CLIN selection. The waste description, generation process, physical state, Waste Code(s) are the primary considerations for CLIN selection. CLIN selection begins with the identification of a Base CLIN category and sequence number. It is selected, if available, from the Price Schedule, and is completed with the assignment of a CLIN Suffix. Not all CLINs categories will be available in this Contract.

(5) Non-Regulated (NR) – Used for wastes that are not deemed inherently hazardous and carry no Waste Code(s).

(6) PCB-Related (PC) – Used for all wastes containing or contaminated by a source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that is equal to or greater than 50 parts per million (ppm). Some Generators of PCB-related wastes may choose to utilize “PC” Base CLINs, even when PCB concentrations fall below the 50 ppm thresholds. The Contractor is required to comply with all regulations as applicable in the management of such PCB-related wastes.

(7) PFAS-Related (PF) – Used for various wastes containing or contaminated by a source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) including some Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) wastes that may or may not be regulated. Some Generators of PFAS-related wastes may choose to utilize “PF” Base CLINs, even when PFAS concentrations fall below regulatory thresholds. The Contractor is required to comply with all regulations, as applicable in the management of such PFAS-related wastes. PFAS wastes are managed under the CLINs description assigned.

(8) Recycle/Recovery (RE) – Used for various wastes that require by contract and/or regulation the recycling/recovery of constituents and/or components contained in the waste stream, including lamps, high mercury devices and residues, antifreeze, used oil, oil filters, and fully drained fuel filters. When “RE” CLINs are ordered, the Contractor is required to recycle/recover the waste under which the CLIN was ordered.

(9) Reactive (RX) – Used for various wastes bearing or potentially bearing reactive characteristics. All wastes bearing or potentially bearing reactive characteristics will be turned in for disposal using an “RX” Base CLIN, except for waste also contaminated by a source of PCBs that is equal to or greater than 50 ppm.

(10) Toxic (TX) – Used for various toxic wastes that are not ignitable, corrosive, or reactive waste bearing Waste Codes, respectively, apart from hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) related waste bearing ignitable Waste Code exclusively due to the oxidizing properties of Cr+6.

b. Base CLIN selection criteria is further based upon information found in the waste profile sheet to include the waste description, physical state of the waste, and the presence of Waste Code(s) assigned (only to regulated HW). Every Base CLIN offered to Generators for use in the Price Schedule has corresponding permissible EPA Waste Code(s), unless the CLIN is for non-regulated waste. Permissible EPA Waste Codes for purposes of this contract are those Waste Code(s) identified in the Price Schedule of this contract in the column so titled. Permissible EPA Waste Codes does not imply that any or all those waste codes so listed will apply, but that no other Waste Code(s) are allowed to be carried for the waste under the assigned CLIN. Furthermore, the term “Listed" for purposes of this contract does not imply that all EPA Listed Waste Codes may apply. Uncommon EPA Listed Waste Codes may be handled on a case-by-case basis, with consideration given to those Waste Codes that are permitted and accepted by the Contractor’s TSDF of choice. The Government will ensure that all wastes being turned in for removal will carry only Waste Code(s), if any, which are listed as permissible under this contract. The Government is responsible for assigning proper profile-based CLINs to every waste stream being turned-in for removal. See Master Base CLIN Catalog link at http://www.dla.mil/DispositionServices/Offers/Disposal/HazardousWaste/HazWasteDisposal.aspx for additional information.

1.1.2 CLIN DISPUTES

a. CLIN discrepancies noted on a Task Order (TO) during a pre-removal inspection and/or during removal by the Contractor will be addressed immediately via the COR and the Generator. If the COR and the Generator concur with the CLIN change request, a TO Modification will be issued.

b. The USG may unilaterally issue TO modifications for such reasons as quantity changes, noun description changes, CLIN changes, adding/deleting TO lines, extending TO end dates, etc. The Contractor will be paid for the actual items and quantities removed per the awarded contract price schedule. If upon receipt of a unilateral TO modification, the Contractor does not agree with the change or changes, the Contractor reserves the right to seek resolution with the KO. These modifications are only against TOs. No changes are made to the terms and conditions of the contract.

c. If the Contractor asserts after removal that an inappropriate CLIN has been assigned, the burden of proof lies with the Contractor. The Contractor must provide documentation electronically to the KO and COR within 15 business days from the Treatment, Storage Disposal and Recycling Facility (TSDF) receipt date supporting the assertion through independently acquired laboratory analysis at the Contractor’s expense, TSDF fingerprinting results, Safety Data Sheet, and/or other written supporting documentation such as a TSDF “off-spec” notification. After review of the documentation, the Contractor will be notified by the KO of the Government’s final determination. Requests for a CLIN change without supporting documents will not be accepted.

d. The Contractor must ensure that the waste in question is not treated or disposed of until the Government has made a final CLIN determination. If the subject waste has been treated and/or disposed of prior to the Government’s final determination, the Contractor will be deemed to have waived its objection to the CLIN assignment.

1.1.3 PERMIT/SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

a. The Contractor warrants that they will maintain a current authorization to operate and conduct business in the country in which this contract is performed throughout the life of the contract and that they will fully comply with all the laws, decrees, labor standards, custom standards, and regulations of this country. Unless listed as a separate CLIN on the price schedule, the Contractor shall be responsible for all fees associated with preparing or obtaining any necessary licenses, permits, or notifications; and preparation of waste profiles requested by a Qualified Disposal Facility(s). The Contractor shall also be responsible for paying any taxes and customs declarations resulting from the Contractor’s transportation, recycling, or disposal decision. This includes acquiring any required permits or registrations necessary to operate on any installation listed in this contract. This includes signing (on behalf of the USG) waste profiles requested by TSDFs. All Contractor-signed waste profile sheets shall be written for the actual wastestream using the Generator’s profile for backup documentation. All Generator forms or other means of notifications including correspondence with USG agencies on behalf of a Generator must be coordinated and concurred with by the affected Generator prior to submission to any foreign agency. A copy of all forms and relevant documentation, including correspondence shall be provided to the COR.

All items collected on this contract must be segregated and kept physically separate according to compatibility until the initial TSDF is reached. The items must be so marked such that they are readily linked to this contract throughout this period. The Contractor may bring other waste onsite when picking up waste at multiple locations identified as pick-up locations within this contract, provided the waste is listed on the current TOs being picked up.

1.2.4 GOVERNMENT EQUIPMENT and PERSONNEL

Base access restrictions and installation regulations prohibit the Contractor from providing and/or operating heavy material handling equipment (MHE) at the time of removal. The USG shall furnish the loading equipment and personnel necessary to assist with this phase for the performance of this contract.

1.2.5 TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS WASTE ON GOVERNMENT FACILITIES

1.2.6 WEIGHING OF ITEMS

a. Verification of task order weights is required. Containers shall be counted, weighed, and documented against the TO by the Contractor prior to removal. An authorized USG representative will witness all weighing that occurs on site. The weight, agreed upon by both the Contractor and the USG representative (i.e., the COR/COTR) at the time of removal, will be the basis for payment to the Contractor. Unsubstantiated charges for subsequent increases in weight, after removal from USG custody, will be the responsibility of the Contractor. USG scales will be used when available, operable, and authorized by the USG. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the availability of USG scales by contacting the COR. All scales used for purposes of this contract shall be calibrated IAW applicable regulations. The USG shall ensure that USG scales are operable and accurate through certification or demonstration. The Contractor shall ensure that non-USG scales are operable and accurate through certification or demonstration.

b. For non-bulk items, the Contractor may utilize USG-owned scales, as available. If USG-owned scales are not available, the Contractor shall be required to provide portable scales at point of removal. All scales used during the performance of this contract must be certified by the local competent authority and/or approved by the local DLA Disposition Services site representative. Portable scales must have a minimum capacity of 1,500 pounds. For the purposes of this contract, scales permanently affixed or built into a vehicle are considered portable scales. Only materials to be removed by the Contractor will be weighed. Pallets, boxes, strapping, etc., which are not integral parts of the packaging and are not being removed by the Contractor will not be included in the weight.

c. Before bulk loading as applicable, the Contractor is required to weigh the waste hauling vehicle, trailer, and/or rolloff/vacuum box, as applicable, to establish the empty (tare) weight of the conveyance. This weight will be documented on a certified weight ticket and provided to the COR. After loading, the Contractor will reweigh the conveyance to establish the loaded (gross) weight of the conveyance. This weight will be documented on a certified weight ticket and provided to the COR. The actual (net) weight of the waste cargo shall then be calculated by subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight. When onsite USG scales are available, weights must be agreed upon by both the Contractor and the USG before removal. When offsite commercial scales must be used, a certified weight ticket will be provided to the COR as stated above and shall be the basis for payment to the Contractor. In lieu of a printed/certified weight ticket, a manual ticket that is signed or stamped by a witnessing USG representative will constitute a certified weight ticket when certified USG scales are available.

1.2.7 LOADING

a. The Contractor is limited to safely load up to two (2) furnished conveyances, trailers, or shipping containers in a business day. At all pickup locations (Attachment 4) the USG will provide the initial loading of waste onto the Contractor’s conveyance; however, all blocking, bracing, lashing, banding, or securing of cargo must be performed by the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for re-palletizing of containers to comply with transportation requirements. The Contractor shall be required to furnish all material handling equipment and labor required to perform tasks associated with loading beyond the USG’s obligation stated above. The Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the USG for any damage, incidental or otherwise, to the Contractor’s conveyance.

b. All loading and bracing operations shall be performed simultaneously for best efficiency and economy of operations. The USG tailgate loads conveyance with heavy MHE, while the Contractor uses light MHE (e.g., hand dolly, pallet jack, etc.) further loads for blocking, bracing, and tie-down procedures. Under no condition will the Contractor conveyance be permitted to move or depart the installation until it has been inspected by both the COR and the Generator and determined in compliance with all applicable transportation requirements.

c. It is the USG's responsibility to ensure that the waste being removed is readily accessible for loading and inspection by the Contractor at the time of removal. Accessible is defined in this Section as unobstructed and not requiring the movement of other containers or objects that are not scheduled for removal on the subject TO to gain access to the waste that is scheduled for removal.

1.2.8 TRANSPORTATION

1.2.9 TASK ORDER (TO) ADJUSTMENTS

TO weights and volumes are estimated at time of turn-in. The Contractor should expect that TO weights/volumes will require adjustment upward or downward as removals take place and the actual weights/volumes are determined. Therefore, the USG has the unilateral right to increase or decrease the TO weights/volumes in those cases where the USG has underestimated or overestimated accordingly. In cases of adjustments resulting in a decreased quantity, these decreases are not subject to FAR 52.212-4, termination for convenience coverage. In addition, it is agreed that it is acceptable for the USG to issue TO modifications unilaterally for quantity changes, noun description changes, CLIN changes, adding/deleting lines, extending TO end dates, etc. The Contractor will be paid for the actual items and quantities removed per the awarded contract price schedule. If upon receipt of a unilateral TO modification, the Contractor does not agree with the USG’s change(s), the Contractor reserves the right to seek resolution through the KO. These modifications pertain only to issued TOs, and no changes will be made to the terms and conditions of the contract.

1.2.10 DEFINITIONS, BULK & CONTAINERIZED WASTE

1.2.10.1 BULK WASTE:

1.2.10.2 CONTAINERIZED WASTE

a. The term containerized waste refers to waste that is typically transported by a box truck, panel truck or semi-truck and trailer or van, including waste contained in drums, totes, cubic yard boxes, military tri-wall boxes, cubic yard bags, lamp boxes, and cylinders.

b. Containerized wastes are assigned a CLIN Suffix of C8. CLIN Suffixes C8 are ordered in kilograms “KG”. Transportation CLINs, including BASEL, Lab analysis, Certificates of Disposal/Recycling, and other miscellaneous CLINs such as Defense Act Insurance will be ordered as each “EA”. CLINs for cylinders, vessels, canisters, and other miscellaneous waste streams have a CLIN Suffix of ME, M1, M2, or M3 and are also ordered as each “EA”.

c. Containers of the same Base CLIN and no larger than 5 gallons in size, may be palletized. However, this provision only allows for up to eighteen (18) 5-gallon pails/buckets per pallet or cubic yard box. Consumer commodity expired material of the same CLIN that are smaller than 5 gallons in size packaged in their original packaging may be placed on pallets for ease of storage and movement. Containers/items placed on a pallet shall be secured with dunnage, i.e., banding straps, stretch or shrink wrap for stability in movement. The sum weight of the dunnage, pallet, and palletized waste cargo will collectively comprise the weight of the waste and shall not exceed a weight of ≤ 900 kilograms (≤ 2000 lbs.) and/or a height of ≤ 152 centimeters (≤ 60 inches) unless otherwise authorized by the Contractor.

Note: The words container and drum may be used interchangeably throughout the contract.
