About this file
This document is an Addendum to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) for pesticide collection and disposal services. The addendum provides responses to vendor questions regarding the solicitation, including details on anticipated pesticide waste, event site setup, and soil sampling requirements. The solicitation is for hazardous waste collection and disposal of abandoned and unwanted agricultural pesticides and other regulated waste. The due date for responses is August 14, 2024, at 3:00 pm CT. The RFP does not provide historical data on specific pesticide products collected, but indicates that a standard rate per pound has been charged for past events, with certain materials excluded. Pricing for the events must include all materials and equipment needed to collect pesticide waste directly from participant vehicles to final disposal, though the TDA will provide staff for traffic direction and participant assistance.

Answer
Exhibit E Cost Proposal
We can’t price disposal without knowing what pesticides. Many carry U listed, D listed and P listed components and those all drive disposal. We need a better understanding of the anticipated materials to ship. Is there any historical data available?
We do not have historical data that provides specific products collected. Agricultural pesticide waste is collected, sometimes the original product is unknown. For past events, all pesticide waste has been charged at 1 standard rate per pound. Pesticide waste that has been historically excluded from that standard rate and not accepted include dioxins, phostoxins, radioactive substances, fumigant canisters, and methyl-bromide cylinders.
