Contract Summary This is a Statewide Contract for Hazardous/Universal, Medical, and Electronic Waste Disposal and Emergency Response that includes ten (10) categories encompassing collection services for various types of hazardous and medical waste. This contract includes Pharmaceutical Waste collection services under Category seven (7). All pricing within this contract may be further negotiated.

Contract Categories This contract includes 10 categories of services as listed below.

Category 1: Hazardous Materials Collection and Disposal Category 2: Hazardous Waste Collection (HHW) Events Category 3: Universal Waste (except pesticides): Mercury Waste & Batteries Category 4a: Sharps Collection and Disposal (including Sharps Kiosks) Category 4b: Sharps Mail-In Category 5: Onsite Medical Waste Treatment Systems (not currently awarded) Category 6: Medical Waste Collection and Disposal Category 7: Pharmaceutical Waste Collection and Disposal Category 8: Electronic Waste Category 9a: Tanks (Cylinders) Category 9b: Tanks, Above Ground and Underground Storage (AST/UST) Category 10: Emergency Response

Benefits and Cost Savings Statewide contracts are an easy way to obtain benefits for your organization by leveraging the Commonwealth’s buying power, solicitation process, contracting expertise, vendor management and oversight, and the availability of environmentally preferable products.

• Depending on the markets, many of these materials have the potential to generate a revenue stream for recyclers, which may equate to rebates and other cost savings for contract users. Contract users should obtain quotes from more than one vendor in an effort to obtain the best pricing.

• Free item collection (or for a fee paid to the contract user) for select items in Categories 1, 3, & 8 (for example, motor oil, batteries, electronics). Please check the Price List for items that indicate “no charge” or a fee amount paid to the contract user.

• Milk-run (multi-site) discounts for combined pickups offered by select vendors in Categories 1, 3 & 8.

• Low-load discounts (for small purchasing entities) offered in Category 2 HHW.

• Most FAC110 contractors offer free end user training. Please consult the Vendor Info tab on the Price Table for a list of contractors who offer training, and then contact the vendor directly regarding the specific training offered.

• Some contractors also offer Resource Management Services. Unlike traditional solid waste service contracts, resource management (RM) compensates waste contractors based on performance in achieving waste reduction goals rather than the volume of waste disposed. As a result, RM aligns waste contractor incentives with facility goals to explore innovative approaches that foster cost-effective resource efficiency through prevention, recycling, and recovery.

• Quick response times. See found on the Vendor Info tab of the Price Table for maximum response times (emergency and non-emergency) for each contractor.

• No surcharges are allowed on this contract.

• Contractors are not allowed to charge for manifests or e-manifests.

When selecting contractors and placing orders, Executive departments shall utilize diverse and small businesses to the extent possible based on contract terms, SDO and departmental policies, laws, and regulations.

This business-to-business relationship requirement applies to all Large Procurements for goods and services, which were historically defined as those expected to exceed $150,000 in total spending. Effective July 1, 2021, Large Procurements will be defined as those expected to exceed $250,000 in annual spending.

Executive departments should take into consideration contracted vendors SDP commitments when evaluating responses.

• Containers

• Waste Profiling

• Any additional products/services

• Discounts for multi-site pickups, as detailed on the Price List

The price specified will be the highest price which may be charged for this item under the contract. Eligible Entities may negotiate better pricing with Contractors on an individual basis.

In addition, ACV Environmental Services and Trident Environmental Group offer low-load-equivalent discounts for small towns and purchasing entities.

Per-Load Pricing

• A “load” or “load-equivalent” is defined as each increment of acceptable hazardous material up to 25 pounds if solid or 25 gallons of liquid, excluding other items priced separately. Similarly, a “half-load” is defined as each increment of acceptable hazardous material up to 10 pounds if solid or 10 gallons of liquid, excluding other items priced separately. A “small load” is defined as each increment of acceptable hazardous material up to 3 pounds if solid or 3 gallons of liquid, excluding other items priced separately. Such excluded other items are listed as “desirable” on the price sheet.

• Multiple “load-equivalents” shall be a whole number based upon the total weight or volume of hazardous waste divided by 25 pounds or 25 gallons and rounded up.

• “Unsorted household hazardous waste” shall include linear and other fluorescent light bulbs added to the weight of the other material using the following factors:

Product Conversion Factor Linear fluorescent 0.5 lbs. per each 4 linear ft U-tube 0.5 lbs. each HID bulb 0.5 lbs. each

• Per-Load pricing is provided in the Price List, on the Cat. 2 HHW Event Per Load tab.

• If an Eligible Entity using per-load pricing elects to include any of the “desirable” items listed on the price sheet into the list of items acceptable at an event, these items will not be included into the “load-equivalent” count and will be charged for separately based on the rates provided on the price sheet or agreed on by the Contractor and the Eligible Entity.

Per-Unit Pricing Per-unit prices for specific types of hazardous waste are listed in the Price List, on the Cat.
