PERFORMANCE STATEMENT OF WORK

PREPARED BY

USDA/ARS/Madison Location

FOR

HAZARDOUS AND NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICES

SECTION 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION & DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.0 BACKGROUND

The USDA ARS Madison Location is comprised of Five Research Units (Cell Wall Biology and Utilization, Cereal Crops, Dairy Forage, Environmentally Integrated Dairy Management, and Vegetable Crops) that each perform a myriad of agricultural research activities. The performance of these activities results in the generation of diversified chemical and biological wastes of varying quantities and toxicities. Wastes may contain - pyrophoric, explosive, reactive, or toxic substances and compressed gases. Some of the chemicals are dangerous due to their sensitivity to shock, friction, or pressure; others are reactive or unstable for a variety of reasons. In pursuance of this research, the facilities have accumulated commercial grade chemicals and containerized lab waste requiring lab packing.

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) recognizes its responsibility to ensure facilities are following existing regulations imposed upon entities that generate, transport, store, treat, and dispose of hazardous chemical wastes. The Agency has a need for hazardous waste disposal services.

The Madison Location Research Units are located in Madison, WI, on/near the UW Madison Campus, with one Research Unit in Marshfield, WI:

1. Dairy Forage Research Center (houses Cell Wall and Dairy Forage Research Units) -

1925 Linden Dr. Madison, WI 53706

2. Cereal Crops Research Unit - 502 Walnut St. Madison, WI 53726

3. Vegetable Crops Research Unit, on the UW Madison Campus:

a. At Babcock Hall, 1605 Linden Dr. Madison, WI 53706

b. At Moore Hall, 1575 Linden Dr. Madison, WI 53706

4. Environmentally Integrated Dairy Research Unit, 2615 Yellowstone Dr. Marshfield, WI 54449.

The Madison Location supports around 300 employees, most of whom are scientists and technicians. Each Research Unit operates independently under its own EPA number, and each Unit is designated as a Very Small Quantity Generator of chemical waste. Appendix A has a detailed map of buildings on/near the UW campus.

At least one week prior to scheduled pick-ups, the government technical representative will share details with the contractor regarding hazardous waste to be picked up, including common names of all chemicals, CAS numbers, quantities, RCRA waste codes, and the current packaging details.

Technical Requirements/Tasks: The Contractor will provide qualified personnel and all labor for the segregation, classification, and packaging of hazardous waste in accordance with all DOT, EPA and State regulations. All work will be performed at the facility addresses listed above during normal business hours. Since the volume of waste from the facilities is small, it is anticipated that all work can be completed within one working day.

The Contractor will provide all materials for the proper packaging of chemical waste for shipment, which includes drums, packing media, DOT, EPA labels, manifests and associated regulatory paperwork, and personal protective equipment. The Contractor will provide transportation of all packaged waste by a fully licensed and insured waste transporter from the facility to the end disposal site(s). The Contractor will provide proper treatment and disposal of all wastes at an authorized disposal facility. The Madison Location Research Units require the contractor to facilitate and expedite response in the event of an emergency.

The contractor shall demonstrate sufficient experience in the field of hazardous waste management. The contractor shall supply all labor, materials, safety equipment, vehicles, licenses, and special permits required for pickup of hazardous chemical compounds and other non-regulated materials at laboratories and chemical storage areas at the Madison Location. The waste shall be transported, stored, and disposed of by the contractor and/or sub-contractor.

The contractor shall comply with all Federal, State, and local regulations governing the handling, packaging, storing, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste chemicals and other non-regulated materials.

The contractor shall furnish containers meeting Department of Transportation shipping specifications with liners compatible with solvents, waste oils, and other liquid chemical compounds. A list of chemicals commonly encountered at the Madison Location is included in Appendix B – Madison Location Chem Inventory. This list is not all-inclusive but includes the Government’s best knowledge of chemicals to be handled. Additionally, these chemical wastes may be in different phases, e.g., liquid, gas or solid. Manifests from recent chemical disposals are included in Appendix C, for reference.

The contractor shall prepare waste materials for shipment and transport (waste) from the Madison Location marshalling areas to the “designated facility” or Treatment Storage and Disposal Facility.

In the event a government recognized holiday falls on a scheduled service day, the Contractor will be responsible for coordinating with the designated Government point of contact to reschedule service.

1.5 QUALITY CONTROL

The Contractor shall develop and maintain a quality control plan to ensure services are performed in accordance with commonly accepted commercial practices and services. The plan shall include procedures to identify, prevent and ensure that non-performance and/or continual repeat of defective service does not occur. A written Quality Control Plan shall be submitted to the Government Point of Contact and the Contracting Officer for review, comments (as needed) and approval no later than two weeks (14 days) after award. At a minimum, the contractor shall address quality control procedures for each performance task/indicator as identified in the Performance Summary – Technical Exhibit 1.

1.6 QUALITY ASSURANCE

In accordance with the Inspection of Services clause [FAR Clause 52.246-4, Inspection of Services –Fixed Price (AUG 1996). The Government will inspect and evaluate the Contractor’s performance to ensure services are received in accordance with the requirements set forth in this contract. The Government Point of Contact may inspect actual task performance, physically checking an attribute of the task, checking a report, investigating customer complaint or otherwise inspecting the task or its results to determine whether or not performance meets the standards contained in this PWS. The Government Point of Contact will use the Contractor’s work schedule or modified version thereof, to record surveillance results. Results of surveillance then become the official record of the Contractor’s performance. When a performance threshold has not been met or Contractor performance has not been accomplished, the Government Point of Contact will initiate and provide the Contracting Officer a Corrective Action Report (CAR) for issuance to the Contractor. The contractor shall respond to the CAR instructions provided and return it to the Government Point of Contact and the Contracting Officer within 10 days of receipt.

1.6A SURVEILLANCE METHOD(S):

100% SURVEILLANCE: Requires the Government to inspect the service each time it occurs.

Results shall be annotated on the inspection schedule. Any deficiency shall be documented, and the Contractor shall re-perform service immediately, if appropriate, or within a reasonable time period at no increase in contract amount. Any unsatisfactory inspection identified but re-performed acceptably shall still be counted as an unsatisfactory inspection for trending purposes.

Receiving two or more unsatisfactory 100% surveillances within a 12-month period may result in unsatisfactory past performance documentation.

RANDOM SAMPLING: Random sampling is an appropriate method for frequently recurring tasks.

The Government Point of Contact will evaluate randomly selected samples of the activity to determine the acceptability of the entire requirement. Any unsatisfactory inspection (defect) result shall be recorded, and the Contractor shall re-perform the service after notification by the Government Point of Contact. Failure to meet performance in any one-month period as outlined in the Performance Summary-Technical Exhibit 1 shall result in a warning or letter of concern from the Contracting Officer. Failure to meet performance in any combination for any two, or more consecutive or no-consecutive months during the contract period shall constitute an immediate Progress Meeting with the designated Government Point of Contact and the Contracting Officer. All remedies shall be in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS: The Government Point of Contact will receive and investigate complaints and will be responsible for initially validating customer complaints. The Contracting Officer shall make the final determination of the validity of customer compliant(s) in cases of disagreement with the Government Point of Contact and the Contractor. Exceeding the performance threshold in a one (1) month period shall result in a warning or letter of concern from the Contracting Officer. Exceeding the performance threshold for any two (2) or more consecutive or non-consecutive months during a contract period shall constitute an immediate Progress Meeting with the designated Government Point of Contact and the Contracting Officer.

All remedies shall be in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

PERIODIC SURVEILLANCES: This method requires the Government to employ a “spot check” style of evaluation based on the Contractor’s schedule. Periodic surveillances will be conducted on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annually) and may be adjusted, based on quality trends. Any unsatisfactory inspection (defect) result shall be recorded, and the Contractor shall re-perform the service after notification by the Government Point of Contact. Failure to meet performance in any one-month period as outlined in the Performance Summary-Technical Exhibit 1 shall result in a warning or letter of concern from the Contracting Officer. Failure to meet performance in any combination for any two, or more consecutive or no-consecutive months during the contract period shall constitute an immediate Progress Meeting with the designated Government Point of Contact and the Contracting Officer. All remedies shall be in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

All waste manifests (i.e., hazardous, and non-hazardous) shall be submitted to the technical representative or designated representative for review four (4) days prior to the scheduled collection date for review. Signatures during routine operating hours and prior to the shipment of waste off-site.

The manifest shall be signed by the Contractor's transporter in the presence of the technical representative or designated representative. The technical representative or designated representative shall sign the manifest as the generator.

The technical representative shall receive all final manifests directly from the approved TSDF Facility via email or via EPA e-Manifest.

The Contractor is responsible for any errors associated with packaging, marking, labeling, segregation, and the actual shipment of all waste off-site. The Contractor shall remain fully responsible for the correction of errors in packing, labeling, or shipping. Additionally, the costs associated with identified errors are the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

8.0 Explosive or Unstable Chemicals

If a potentially explosive or unstable chemical is discovered at a pickup location the Contractor shall determine if the chemical presents an imminent hazard (e.g., the chemical may spontaneously explode, undergo violent reaction or cause an uncontrolled release of hazardous constituents when moved or otherwise handled). If an imminent hazard appears to exist, the Contractor shall immediately call the COR who shall evaluate the situation and, if necessary, request assistance from appropriate Emergency Response Personnel. If the COR is not immediately available, the Contractor shall immediately inform the Madison Location Safety and Health Officer, 608-640-8190, who will assume control and manage the situation. In either case, the Contractor shall assume a secondary role in the management of such hazardous materials.

If it is determined that the chemical can be moved safely, the COR will identify the location where the Contractor is to store it. If the chemicals are determined to be safe to move, the Contractor shall move the chemicals to the location specified by the COR or designated representative and shall notify the COR or designated representative when the activity has been accomplished.

Explosive and reactive chemicals are not normally encountered at the Madison Location. The Government anticipates that this will occur no more frequently than once or twice yearly.

Examples of explosive or unstable chemicals include but are not limited to peroxide-forming and friction-sensitive chemicals.

9.0 Unknown Chemicals

In the event that chemicals are not completely described by name and concentration, (concentration data is required for transportation, redistribution, storage, treatment, or disposal), the Contractor shall attempt to obtain a complete description from the requestor.

In the event the chemical cannot be identified, the Contractor shall label the chemical container as "Unknown Waste Chemical". The Contractor shall notify the COR or designated representative of the unidentified chemical so the COR or designated representative can attempt to identify it. If the waste still cannot be identified, the COR or designated representative may direct the Contractor to secure the appropriate laboratory analysis to identify the waste required by the TSDF and applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. The Contractor shall not remove the unidentified waste until an analysis has been performed to identify the chemical.

Upon identification of the waste the Contractor shall dispose of the waste as appropriate.

10.0 Consolidated Solvent Wastes

The Contractor shall supply corrosion resistant, solvent safety containers for collection of waste solvents from laboratories. Containers shall meet all applicable fire protection regulations. The Contractor shall store an adequate (e.g., 5 ea 5 gallon containers) inventory of empty safety containers at the marshalling facility for each Research Unit. The Contractor shall issue additional containers upon request.

11.0 Controlled Substances

Small quantities of Controlled Dangerous Substances (as defined in Title 21, CFR, Part 1308), are sometimes discovered in inventories of waste chemicals awaiting pickup. If a controlled substance is discovered in surplus or waste chemicals at the site of a pickup request, in an unsecured area, the Contractor shall refuse to accept the substance and advise the COR. The Contractor shall identify controlled substances and ensure that controlled substances are not picked up nor taken out of the marshalling facilities.

12.0 Biological Wastes

The Madison Location presently has a mechanism in place to dispose of all biological waste;

however, if a biohazard material/substance is discovered in an unsecured location and the owner of the material cannot be located; the Contractor shall immediately notify the Madison Location Safety Officer (608) 640-8190 and the COR. The Contractor shall maintain surveillance over the biohazard material until appropriate personnel arrive at the site. No biohazard materials/substances shall be moved out of the marshalling facility without the approval of the Safety Officer.

If chemicals from a pickup are determined to be potentially bio-hazardous after being moved to any of the marshalling facilities, the Contractor shall place such chemicals in a temporary holding area. The Contractor shall then immediately notify the COR and the Biological Safety Officer at 215-356-7223.

13.0 Hazardous Chemical Wastes

All collected chemicals that are regulated as RCRA hazardous waste, DOT hazardous materials or controlled hazardous substances in Wisconsin, including waste solvents that are to be shipped off-site for storage, treatment, recycling, or disposal shall be placed into transportation containers according to their hazard class on the day of their receipt at the marshalling facilities.

All collected chemicals shall be placed into transportation containers according to their hazard class. The Contractor may leave partially filled packaging containers until additional wastes are received if all requirements are met.

Compatible wastes received in small containers (i.e., bottles and cans) can be emptied and consolidated, unless required to be shipped according to DOT Packing Group requirements (i.e., PG I chemicals and Poison by Inhalation Hazard) or TSDF restrictions.

Transportation containers shall be properly marked and labeled to indicate each container's contents. Wastes shall be packed within containers to the maximum density that is allowed by Federal, state, or local regulations and consistent with safe practice.

14.0 Universal Wastes and Non-Regulated Materials

Universal Wastes (as defined by COMAR 26.13), fluorescent lamps, batteries, pesticides that are part of a recall or collection program, mercury-containing equipment, and fluorescent light ballasts that contain PCBs. The Contractor shall not exceed the 1-year limit for the storage of universal wastes. If the shipping container is deemed full prior to 1-year, then it can be transported on the next manifested shipment to the TSDF. The Contractor shall handle, ship, treat, and dispose of these wastes in accordance with all applicable regulations and procedures.

Non-Regulated Wastes are chemicals that do not meet the criteria to be listed under the two RCRA hazardous waste categories of listed waste or characteristic waste (as defined by 40 CFR Part 261). Such wastes shall be placed in appropriate containers on the day of their receipt and stored at the marshalling facility. Non-Regulated Waste has an indefinite storage limit, but the Contractor shall not exceed a 1-year storage period unless approved by the COR. The Contractor shall handle, ship, treat, and dispose of these wastes in accordance with all applicable regulations and procedures.

15.0 Waste Solvents

The Contractor shall evaluate and determine that solvents brought to the storage facilities can be safely consolidated and, if so, they shall pump or pour them via a safety funnel into properly grounded 55-gallon steel/poly drums for subsequent shipment to an approved off-site treatment or disposal facility. All solvent handling work shall be performed in an area of the marshalling sites assigned for this activity.

The Contractor shall use non-sparking tools to break emptied solvent bottles. The glass/plastic containers shall be consolidated into an open top 55-gallon drum and shipped to an approved treatment or disposal facility.

16.0 Explosive or Reactive Waste

Wastes that are potentially explosive or may react violently but are not considered by the Contractor to pose an imminent hazard, shall be managed in the marshalling facility and shall be packed, manifested, and disposed of by detonation or other means.

17.0 Hydrolysis Procedure

Occasionally, highly reactive compounds are encountered at the Madison Location. If that chemical can be made safe, the COR may request that the Contractor stabilize the chemical. The contractor must have access to a remote opener, equipment, and training to stabilize the chemical. The Contractor shall evaluate each chemical and select a compatible solvent to facilitate safe transport and disposal of the material.

18.0 PCB Contaminated Materials

On occasion, the Contractor may be required to dispose of PCB contaminated waste on an as-needed basis. If a PCB contaminated spill occurs the COR or designated representative shall be notified immediately. Furthermore, any clean up liability and efforts shall remain the responsibility of the contractor. Reporting of any reportable spills shall be performed by the COR or designated representatives in accordance with spill notification guidelines provided (see Table 1).

A Certificate of Treatment/Disposal shall be forwarded to the COR or designated representative.

The Certificate of Treatment/Disposal shall: list each container received at the facility by its BA Transportation Container Number, or other uniquely identifying number; document the date and method of treatment or disposal, and include the appropriate EPA Treatment Code Number if available; and list the name and location of the treatment/disposal facility.
