STATEMENT OF WORK

CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WASTE DISPOSAL

NATIONAL CENTERS FOR COASTAL OCEAN SCIENCE

NOAA Hollings Marine Laboratory

Background:

NCCOS Charleston Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) is a collaboration among five partners; NOS, the Medical University of South Carolina, National Institute of Standards and Technology, College of Charleston, and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The facility produces wastes from marine research processes involved with providing science and biotechnology applications to forecast, sustain, protect, and restore coastal ecosystems, with emphasis on links between environmental condition and the health of marine organisms and humans, chemical, molecular, toxicological, microbiological, and marine mammal research used to describe, evaluate, and predict natural and human influences on marine and estuarine habitats.

This includes interdisciplinary research to resolve issues related to coastal ecosystem health, environmental quality, and related public health impacts. Research at HML is focused in the following core areas: genomics; environmental chemistry and toxicology; and pathogen source tracking, monitoring, and assessment.

Purpose This statement of work covers requirements to remove chemical and biological wastes at the NOAA Hollings Marine Laboratory located in Charleston, SC. The facility is a research laboratory owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS). The laboratory is an EPA “Small Quantity” Generator of chemical wastes that also generate biological materials from various marine and wildlife research processes and are legally held to uphold state and federal EPA and other environmental code requirements for the disposal of chemical and biological wastes.

NOAA's Environmental, Safety, and Sustainability Office (NESSO) establishes NOAA's policy to ensure compliance with regulatory, internal, and drive toward continuous improvement in Environment, and Sustainability performance. Environmental guidance requires NOAA facilities to conduct business in the most environmentally responsible manner possible, including the generation and disposal of chemical and biological wastes. To limit environmental liability and maximize environmental sustainability, the preferred method of disposal of all NCCOS generated waste is to recycle/reclaim/recover whenever possible. When recycling is not possible, to dispose of chemical and biological materials using fuels blending by cement kilns, and lastly disposed of by a waste to energy process as fuel for beneficial incineration. NO waste is permitted to be disposed of by burial, ground injection, landfill, unauthorized or illegal means, or shipped outside the United States. All wastes removed from the facilities must be handled according to applicable local, state, and federal regulations.

Total quantities listed on DOT manifests must accurately reflect proper compatibility and quantity of chemicals in a drum. All quantities are to be listed by weight. For customary EPA reporting purposes, Contractor shall list individual hazardous waste quantities shipped as weight of the waste only (total weight less weight of the drum). Accurate portable scales for weighing waste containers are to be provided on each transport vehicle used by Contractor.

Final disposal of bulk solvent waste streams shall be solvent reclamation by distillation or fuels blending by an NCCOS approved cement kiln. Final disposal of lab packs and other hazardous and nonhazardous wastes are to be consolidated and disposed of at approved facilities by the following order of priority: reclaimed, recycled, or recovered wherever possible, fuels blending at cement kilns, or fuel for waste to energy incinerators. Wastes shall be neutralized and then fuels blended or used in a waste to energy incineration process when either of the preferred disposal methods is not possible. Wastes are not permitted to be disposed of by: landfill, deep well injection methods, or at facilities outside the United States mainland. Wastes from NCCOS shall be sent only to disposal facilities that are in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Contractor shall work with each NCCOS facility to recommend improvements in waste management and destruction technology that allows NCCOS to maintain the highest level of environmental management. Any and all permits, licenses or related fees are the responsibility of the Contractor.

Prior to disposal, the Contractor will be notified via telephone or email by the laboratory Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) contact to negotiate a pickup date, followed by an email of the waste inventory to be removed. NOAA labs may add additional items for pickup until 48 hours prior to any pickup or at the time of pickup if additional items fall into an approved waste stream container. Prior to removal of any waste from an NCCOS facility, copies of the current annual vehicle inspection and commercial driver’s license with HAZMAT endorsement for the driver must be provided to the local onsite EH&S coordinator. This is mandatory for any vehicle used to remove wastes from an NCCOS site. Transport of waste from a facility will not be permitted until full compliance is met.

Contractor shall provide DOT-approved drums in good condition for shipping and the bulking or lab packing of wastes as needed. All activities shall be performed according to OSHA, EPA, RCRA, DOT, and all other applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. The Laboratories shall not furnish any equipment or personnel in performance of the Contractor’s responsibilities under this proposal and subsequent contract. Additionally, NCCOS does not warrant that waste holding containers are suitable for transport in accordance with DOT regulations; the Contractor will determine the need for container repacking or overpack based on the site visit.

When performing pickup at NCCOS facilities, the submission of the following shall apply:

Final signed manifests/or shipping papers.

Land disposal notifications.

Packing lists Detailed original signed Certificates of Destruction (COD) from final disposal site on Company letterhead (see COD requirements below) Copies of Contractor invoice and signed original CODs from the ultimate disposal facility must be submitted electronically to the local EH&S contact person. The CODs must be received from the final disposal facility in a timely manner.

Copies of all the above papers shall be submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer along with the original invoice

The pricing sheet included in this bid package sets forth the combination of costs to be evaluated. The best value responsive bidder will be determined by calculating all quotes requested on the bid form based upon previous annual disposal quantities. Failure to complete the bid form completely or correctly or the submission of disposal facilities that do not meet NOAA/NCCOS approval may result in declaring the bid non-responsive. Requesting a bid quote by Generator does not obligate NCCOS to use the services quoted.

Although every effort is made here, to clarify items generated as reasonably accurate, some variations are possible, from time to time based on DOT 49 CFR Part 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table and the EPA/RCRA standards.

DELIVERABLES

The Contractor shall furnish with bid submittal information establishing that Contractor is appropriately: licensed, permitted, and insured for the transport and temporary storage of hazardous waste involved in this contract and a list of intended temporary and final disposal sites for each category of waste. In the case of subcontracting work (Fuels Blending, Recycling, etc.), the primary Contractor shall provide proof of licensing, permits, insurance, and list of intended final disposal sites of all Subcontractors before contract execution. NCCOS reserves the right of refusal of any disposal site(s) or to request alternate disposal site(s). Only sites approved by the NCCOS and NOAA Environmental Compliance Officers will be allowed. Use of a disposal facility that is not on the Contractor’s list provided at bid time, or the use of unapproved disposal methods shall be cause for contract termination and forfeiture of payment(s) from NCCOS. A written request submitted to NCCOS (attention Ron Gagnon, with copy to the Contracting Officer) shall be required for NOAA to approve a new temporary storage or final disposal site. No changes may be made to this contract without written approval of the Contracting Officer.

If original manifest copies are required to be supplied to Generator and ship to states, the Contractor must mail by certified return receipt requested with the original return receipt returned to the Generator for their audit records.

Certificates of Final Destruction (COD) or Recycling (COR) are required for each manifested waste pickup. The certificates must specify the Generator facility, original manifest number, container identification number, contents, date of destruction, location of destruction facility, and method(s) of destruction/recycling. Certificates must be received by the Generator within 120 days of removal from an NCCOS Lab or within 30 days of waste destruction. Also, a written statement indicating that wastes are being handled in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations and will be properly disposed of is appreciated, but does not meet the requirement of a COD or COR. An annual report shall be submitted to each laboratory contact detailing wastes disposed of at each pickup for the calendar year, final disposal process, disposal facility, and date of final destruction. These reports are expected by January 31 of each year so the data can be used to meet EPA Biennial Report requirements. Any outstanding submission for more than 12 months may result in termination of contract. In addition, any investigative work encountered on the part of NCCOS to procure these documents, may be invoiced to the Contractor.

A digital written report for each facility in a format usable for cutting and pasting to meet EPA biennial reporting requirements is required. In addition to requirements for EPA biennial reporting, written reports minimally shall summarize in table format the amount and type of wastes removed during the calendar year, waste manifest numbers, the extent of conformance with recycling/reuse/reclamation disposal objectives for EMS reporting, and graphic representation for each facility, and a combined NCCOS level report, to indicate the success of the NCCOS requirement to handle wastes in the most environmentally friendly manner with opportunities for improvement.
