STATEMENT OF WORK

1. BACKGROUND: (a) Introduction. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Region conducts some of its work in laboratories and shops in Menlo Park, California, using various materials which result in the generation of an assortment of hazardous wastes. Warehouse facilities in Menlo Park, California also generate hazardous waste. Accordingly, the USGS established the Occupational Health, Safety, and Environmental Program for maintaining the health and safety of its personnel and minimizing adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. This program includes within its scope the proper handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials. Additionally, the program is responsible for ensuring that the USGS operates within the framework of Federal, State, and local regulations concerning all aspects of occupational health, safety, environmental issues, and hazardous materials.

(b) Requirement. The services described herein are required for approximately 100 wet laboratories, 7 shops and a warehouse facility. The laboratories and shops are located at the USGS Menlo Park Facility, 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, California. The warehouse facility is located at 1020 O’Brien Drive, Menlo Park, California. The total employee population is approximately 450. The types of hazardous wastes generated by these facilities include, but are not limited to, those listed at the end to this solicitation.

(c) Facilities. The Menlo Park Center facility has an area in which hazardous waste can be stored. The waste can be transported to either a disposal or storage facility. The warehouse has no storage area for hazardous waste. The Menlo Park Center has an installed emergency shower and eyewash station. The Menlo Park warehouse has no emergency shower or eyewash station therefore the contractor is required to supply this safety equipment or a suitable substitute when working at that location.

(d) Contractor Qualifications. Materials picked up under this contract may only be transported by a State of California registered Hazardous Waste Transporter meeting all the requirements of 22 California Code of Regulations (CCR) Chapter 13 and using only vehicles possessing a Certificate of Compliance from the California Highway Patrol.

2. OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this contract is to provide services to the USGS safety and health office in managing and implementing the hazardous materials program for USGS employees located in Menlo Park. The services include hazardous materials storage and handling, including hazardous waste disposal. A second objective is to provide emergency response services to the Menlo Park facilities (see 4(b) below).

3. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE: All pertinent and current Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S.

Department Of Transportation, state, county and local requirements are incorporated into this solicitation. In the event of a conflict in the requirements, the more stringent requirement shall take precedence unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. (COE;

4. SCOPE OF WORK: (a) Hazardous Materials Management Services

(1) Scope. The contractor shall provide qualified personnel, equipment and packaging materials to collect, identify, classify, handle, package, document, store, transport and recycle or dispose of all reclaimable, unwanted chemicals for recycling, and non-reclaimable hazardous chemical wastes for disposal. The contractor must perform the above services in compliance with all current and applicable Federal, State, and local regulations.

(2) Estimated frequency. The USGS usually requires one inventory and one pickup and disposal per month from the waste storage facility at 345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park. Inventory and pickup/disposal from the Menlo Park Warehouse Facility is usually required once or twice, per year. Additional requirements resulting from ongoing facility renovation and other causes occur at irregular intervals. Frequency of requirements may change during the term of the contract.

(3) Hazard communications. Prior to the start of each on-site work activity, the Contractor will conduct and document a "Tailgate Safety Meeting,” in accordance with OSHA requirements, insuring that all persons involved in the activity are familiar with the safety equipment and procedures to be used.

(4) Reporting requirements. In addition to requirements stated in GS0921 and elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall provide the COR with a complete PC compatible computer readable inventory prior to the removal of hazardous waste. The inventory will be compatible with the software described in (5) below, if provided.

(5) Software. If included in the Contractor’s proposal resulting in this contract, the Contractor shall provide PC compatible computer software for tracking waste Inventories and Shipments.

The software will provide reporting capabilities including, but not limited to, the generation of biennial reports as required by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), tracking waste shipment and tracking time limits and receipt of manifests and certificates of disposal. The software will be compatible with the software used by the Contractor for these purposes and will allow on-line downloading of data from the Contractor’s database.

(b) Emergency Response Services

(1) Requirement. USGS will normally use the local fire departments as the first respondents to a spill. The contractor may be required to provide extended support and cleanup.

(2) Post-Award Site Visit. Upon being awarded the contract, the contractor shall provide pre-emergency preparation by visiting the USGS facilities in Menlo Park and Redwood City to familiarize the contractor's own emergency team with the USGS facilities and to establish contact with key USGS personnel on site.

(3) Menlo Park facilities. The contractor shall provide 24-hour emergency extended support and cleanup response coverage, 365 days per year. The contractor shall establish and maintain a communications procedure that insures a telephonic response within one (1) hour and to be physically on the site within four (4) hours after notification of any potentially hazardous situations, such as chemical spills, that might occur.

(4) Post-Emergency Debriefing. The contractor shall evaluate and, as directed by the COR, remedy the problem leading to the emergency or recommend corrective action to allow regular operations of the USGS to continue. The contractor shall submit a preliminary written report within five (5) working days. On a case-by case basis, the COR may require a more comprehensive report.

(c) Reporting Regulatory Changes - The Contractor shall notify the COR of changes in federal, state and local regulations regarding hazardous materials within 10 working days of the Contractor’s receipt of notice of such changes. The Contractor will further notify the Contracting Officer and the COR if such changes may affect the contractor’s methods or ability to provide services. The USGS may order a written report evaluating the impact on the USGS of the change(s), with recommendations to insure that the USGS is in full compliance with such changed regulations. The contractor shall provide the COR one copy of such report within 15 days of receipt of written order or as instructed on the written order.

(d) EPA Treating - The Contractor shall sample and test any unknown chemicals and cylinders, using EPA approved methods, and obtain knowledge of their constituents in order that approval for disposal may be obtained from the disposal site. The report summarizing the analysis of unknown substances shall be furnished to the COR within five (5) days after the analysis is completed. The number of days over the seven calendar days required to remove the unknown chemicals and cylinders shall be coordinated with the COR.

(e) Removal - The Contractor shall remove inventoried and packaged waste immediately upon completion of packing. All work shall be completed within seven calendar days from date of request.

(f) Transportation - The Contractor shall transport all hazardous and non-hazardous waste to the approved disposal site that was identified in the Contractor’s proposal within seven calendar days after notification. At the time of award, the Contractor shall submit the shipping plan (which shall include a list of all routes to be taken) to the COR for his approval. The COR shall approve or disapprove the plan prior to first pick-up. COR approval is based upon compliance with all applicable State, EPA and DOT Regulations. If the plan is not approved, the Contractor must provide a revised shipping plan for approval to the COR. The plan shall have a minimum of interlining or intermediate stopping before reaching the disposal site. All required documentation, including the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (UHWM), shall be submitted at the time of each pick-up. The Contractor shall provide to the COR, at time of award and updated annually, contingency plans in the event of an accident or spill which include:

(i) Chain of responsibility.

(ii) List of state agency and Contractor who will be contacted in case of emergency in each state in which they operate. At the time of transportation of all waste whether hazardous or non-hazardous, the Contractor shall supply, attached to the Manifest, the total estimated weight in pounds/kilograms of waste shipped.

(g) Disposal Site - Disposal shall be in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

The Contractor shall provide to the COR an acknowledged copy of the manifest from the disposal site and a copy of the certification of disposal from the disposal facility, whether the Government's waste is blended or re-manifested at the storage facility. A copy of the manifest signed by the disposal facility operator shall be delivered to the COR within thirty (30) working days of receipt of the materials listed on the manifest. When deemed necessary by the Government, the Contractor shall obtain approval to incinerate appropriate combustible wastes at an EPA approved incineration facility. Reclaimable chemicals and wastes shall be recycled when practicable. The USGS is committed to reduce and minimize waste streams through best management practices of our pollution prevention efforts. The Contractor, therefore, shall maintain and comply with reporting their recycling efforts to the USGS in the quarterly reporting cycle as described in deliverables. Mere acceptance of the hazardous waste at a properly permitted treatment or disposal facility does not meet the definition of disposal under this contract. It is the Contractor's responsibility to obtain all necessary documentation, including the completed UHWM, to verify that both the delivery and the disposal of all items have been accomplished. The Contractor shall provide to the COR both a UHWM (signed by the disposal site) showing that the waste has been received, and a letter from the site operator or other certification which shows actual disposal has been completed.

description of container sampled; label information on the container sampled; sample type (composite, grab, etc.); place of collection; sampling method, field description of contents and related observations; analyses to be performed and results; and information on the distribution of sample results. A copy of the “chain of custody” is to be provided to the COR at the time samples are collected. All analyses shall be conducted by a reputable laboratory that is capable of accurately analyzing wastes via EPA and DTSC methods. A report with the results of the analyses shall be provided to the COR within thirty (30) working days after the sample was obtained. The report is to be signed by a representative of the laboratory

8. TREATMENT AND/OR DISPOSAL OF CHEMICAL WASTE

(a) Use of Permitted Facilities with Full Status Required. Unless otherwise approved, the Contractor shall utilize only the facilities identified in his proposal package for the treatment, disposal, or recycling of all chemical waste collected at the USGS. The facilities shall be in accordance with applicable Federal, State and local regulations. Wastes shall be transported to the facility which has been issued an operation permit pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and as implemented by the hazardous waste regulatory authorities of jurisdiction. General information about the facility (company brochures identifying the facility location, processes used to manage waste, qualifications of facility personnel, etc.), and copies of permits or operational violations shall be available for review by the COR at the time of award.

(b) Use of Land Disposal Discouraged. The land disposal of chemical wastes shall be kept to the smallest amount feasible. Secured chemical landfills shall only be employed by the Contractor when no other practical method of treatment or disposal for a particular waste is available, or when the COR determines that alternate methods of disposal are not economically acceptable.

(c) TSDF Facility. Contractor shall use only the TSDF identified in his proposal and must carry appropriate insurance as stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations. The treatment facility shall employ validated, best available technologies to permanently destroy or render USGS wastes non-hazardous. Waste generated could contain unknown substances and reactive materials; therefore, services may require special and unique handling and disposal procedures.

A Chemist and a Chemical Technician will be required as well as all applicable licenses and permits as required by federal and state codes and regulations.

(d) Use of Transporters and other TSDFs Require Approval. The Contractor shall use only the TSDF identified in his proposal. However, if the Contractor determines that is it necessary to use another TSDF to handle chemical waste from the U.S. Geological Survey, a written request must be forwarded to the CO for approval with a copy of the request to COR prior to using the TSDF.

9. REQUIRED REPORTS AND DOCUMENTS

(a) Certificate of Disposal. A "Certificate of Disposal" or equivalent documentation shall be forwarded to the COR within thirty (30) working days of final treatment or disposal of wastes (40 CFR 262). The Certificate of Disposal shall identify the treatment or disposal facility, itemize each DOT-approved waste container received at the final treatment or disposal facility by its unique identification number, and document the date and method of treatment or disposal.

(b) Quarterly Contract Charges and Waste Disposal Reports. The Contractor shall furnish the CO with quarterly reports of the waste generating activities and charges incurred for each of the individual sites and facilities serviced under the contract. Reports shall be due to the CO within ten (10) business days following the end of a U.S. Government Fiscal Quarter (reports will therefore be due on the tenth business day in the months of October, January, April and July).

Information required in the reports includes the site or facility name, cumulative amount (in pounds) of waste shipped during the Fiscal Year, generator status changes, and cumulative charges incurred by the facility during the fiscal year. The COR will, if necessary, obtain these reports from the CO.

10. SPILLS, RELEASES, EMERGENCIES, AND INCIDENT REPORTING

(a) Releases Resulting from Contractor Negligence. In the event a chemical release occurs, regardless of quantity or location, due to the activities on the part of the Contractor, the Contractor shall provide, at no cost of the USGS, all labor, materials, and other services necessary to return the contaminated or affected area(s) to original conditions prior to the release.

All releases will reported to the COR or point of contact of the contract for remedial and necessary action. The Contractor shall assume responsibility for the reporting (Government will provide the DI-134), packaging, transportation, treatment and/or disposal of the resulting wastes and contaminated debris in accordance with the provisions of this contract.

(b) Other Spills and Releases. The USGS relies on the expertise and capability of local hazardous materials units possessing trained personnel and the appropriate equipment to respond to chemical spills that may cause health hazards or pose a threat of releases to the environment. The role of the local emergency response service is to effect rescue, if required, and contain chemical spills to prevent further contamination. Contractor is expected to provide final clean-up, decontamination, and disposal services following such an event. The Contractor shall be capable of providing emergency response services on a 24-hour basis with a maximum telephone response time of one hours and maximum physical response time of four hours between a telephone request for emergency services and arrival of Contractor personnel at facilities located in the Menlo Park/Redwood City, California area.
