SECTION B: SCOPE OF WORK AND REQUIREMENTS

The State of Rhode Island on behalf of the Department of Environmental Management is seeking bids for the provision of immediate response and cleanup services including but not limited to emergencies and general services as needed resulting from the spilling, leaking or discharge of hazardous wastes, petroleum products or other materials causing a threat to the environment or to public health or safety. A vendor may bid on the entire scope of services or an individual response category. The response categories include Hazardous Material/Waste Response, Oil Response, Asbestos Response, Radiological Response, and Biological and Medical Waste Response. Each vendor must provide all the information requested herein and complete on the attached spreadsheet outlined for each scenario/category bid responding to.

Immediate Response Services

The services sought by the Department require that the successful bidders maintain a 24-hour telephone communications system and that the successful bidders be capable of having a representative with the appropriate technical expertise to initiate corrective action at the scene of an emergency within one (1) hour of verbal notification of the emergency by state on scene coordinator (SOSC). The successful bidders must also be capable of beginning cleanup operations within two to three (2-3) hours of verbal notification by the

SOSC.

The Department reserves the right to determine the number and types of personnel, vehicles, and equipment required to respond to any emergency.

Immediate Response and General Services

The successful bidders must possess expertise in the areas of hazardous waste/materials, petroleum products, asbestos, radiological response or medical waste situations that they choose to submit proposals for and be prepared to commence containment and cleanup operations within the above time frame and to continue operations uninterrupted until notified to discontinue such operations by the SOSC. The successful bidders must be prepared to work under the direction of the SOSC and be able to accurately assess the quantity and types of wastes or materials involved in an emergency. A complete roster of available response personnel must be submitted for each response category bid as part of the submittal package. These individuals must, at a minimum, possess the minimum training requirements as prescribed by OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 where appropriate. Along with this information, bidders must also include their standard operating procedures for safety protocols.

The successful bidders must be capable of arranging for the analysis of unknown wastes or materials, as directed by the SOSC, and be capable of classifying these materials or wastes for purposes of storage, transportation and/or disposal in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations.

The successful bidders must be prepared to immediately maintain custody of waste and materials, as well as petroleum products, until their final disposition is authorized by the Department. Storage of the wastes/materials must be at a licensed facility located within Rhode Island or within one hundred miles of the borders of Rhode Island. This facility must be permitted by either the Rhode Island

Department of Environmental Management or by the comparable state or federal agency having jurisdiction in the state which the facility is located. All bidders must include as part of their bids a list of its available storage facilities and the exact types of materials that they are licensed or permitted to store.

The successful bidders must be prepared to immediately arrange for the proper disposal of all wastes and materials involved in the containment and cleanup operations including the supplying of manifests and all other necessary documents. All waste material must be tracked from its point of generation to its ultimate disposal facility. Accurate tracking documents must be made available to the Department.

The bidders must notify the Department of the waste's ultimate disposal location and all such facilities must be properly licensed. All bidders must also agree to an inspection of their facilities and equipment by Department personnel prior to the award of the contract, if requested. All successful bidders may be required to participate in one uncompensated practice response situation conducted at a time mutually convenient to the Department and the bidder, and any training sessions conducted by the bidder independently by the bidder must be made available to Department personnel.

In addition to Section C Technical Proposal, five (5) scenarios (Attachment “A”) is created for the service described. Based on a comparison of authorized prices quoted for scenarios 1 - 5, pricing analysis will be considered for ranking purposes of estimated service demand statewide for these services. It is not mandatory to part take in all categories.
