Each pickup manifest and bills of lading (i.e., with a Government activity identified as a generator), as well as all other documentation required herein, shall be clearly and distinctly marked with the name of the servicing DLA Disposition Services site in addition to the generators and the contract and task order number, as applicable. Emergency response information and twenty-four hour emergency phone numbers shall be listed on the manifest as well as bills of lading. If blocks are not provided, this information shall be placed in the upper, right-hand corner of each document.

b. The DLA Disposition Services’ created dummy EPA number for non-RCRA TSDF, must be entered on all applicable shipping documentation such as nonhazardous waste manifests and bills of lading. Also, include DLA Disposition Services’ created dummy EPA number on HQ DRMS Form 1683, Manifest Tracking Log.

c. The contractor shall perform all dry weight computations for those hazardous wastes destined for land disposal in Texas and shall provide all such computations to the COR for record keeping purposes. This computation shall be furnished along with the copy of the generator manifest.

1.1.3 NOTIFICATIONS

a. Except as may otherwise be specified herein, the contractor shall notify the COR for each location, at least five (5) business days BEFORE attempting site visits, analysis or pickups.

(1) In addition to the notification above for pickups, the contractor shall provide the name of the driver, the driver’s Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) number and its expiration date to the COR or other Government representative at least 24-hours prior to removal. The contractor may also opt to provide a list of approved, multiple drivers designated for pickups under this specific contract to the COR or other Government representative prior to any attempted removals. If this option is elected and the list is approved by the Government and maintained by the Contractor, the 24-hour notification requirement is mute for the remainder of the contract unless otherwise modified.

(2) If a driver, other than the one specified 24-hours in advance for the specific Task Order; or, one whose name does not appear on the optional list of approved, multiple drivers arrive for pickup, the COR or other designated Government representative will verify the personnel switch with the prime contractor before the pickup commences. This may require a written notice or fax from the prime contractor.

b. For Task Orders (TO) containing Expedited Removals, Services or Performance CLINs the contractor shall notify the COR or other Government representative for each location, in the following timeframes BEFORE attempting site visits, analysis, or pickups: 15-10 day expedites – at least 3 calendar days; 9-5 day expedites – at least 2 calendar days; and 4 days or less expedites – at least 1 calendar day. In addition, the contractor is still required to provide the information identified in paragraph (1) above at least 24-hours prior to removal. If applicable, any removals ordered under a 24-hour or one business day expedited CLIN requires the contractor to provide the information identified in paragraph (1) at least 4 hours prior to pickups if the contractor elects to provide the identity of the driver for each specific TO. If the contractor elects to provide the list of approved, multiple drivers designated for use under this contract, this expedited notification is not required.

Drums/Bulk Solids

Ellsworth AFB, Bldg. 1908 Tailgate only

Drums 119th Fighter Wing, Bldg. 420 Tailgate only Drums Minot CAP, Bldg. 525 Tailgate only Drums Nebraska Army National Guard, Lincoln, USP&FO Tailgate only Drums Nebraska Army National Guard, Lincoln, FMS 1 Tailgate only

1.2.7 WEIGHING OF PROPERTY

The contractor shall weigh all property before removal. An authorized Government representative will witness all weighing that occurs on site. The weight, agreed upon by both the contractor and the Government representative at the time of removal, will be the basis for payment to the contractor. Unsubstantiated charges for subsequent increases in weight, after removal from Government custody, will be the responsibility of the contractor.

a. Bulk Items

(1) Bulk items will be measured by one of the following methods. The method used will be whichever is most accurate and agreed upon by the contractor and the Government representative:

(i) Actual weight using Government scales.

(ii) Actual weight using commercial scales.

(iii) Calculated weight. As an alternative to actual weighing, the weight of bulk shipments may be computed, provided that the specific gravity of the material is known and the volume actually picked up is determined. For example, 2,000 gallons of liquid with a specific gravity of 1.4 = calculated weight of 23,344 pounds. (2,000 x 1.4 x 8.337, where one gallon of water weighs 8.337 pounds). Specific gravity will be obtained from a waste profile sheet.

(2) For either "actual weight" method, the vehicle will be weighed both before and after loading. For bulk shipments, where Government scales are not available or operable, the use of commercial scales is authorized.

The contractor will arrange for and incur all expenses of weighing property at the nearest certified public scale.

b. Non-bulk Items

(1) For non-bulk items, the contractor shall provide portable scales for outweighing of property. Portable scales must have a minimum capacity of 1,500 pounds. For the purpose of this contract, scales permanently affixed or built into a vehicle are considered portable scales.

(2) Prior to the use of portable scales at each pickup site, the contractor must demonstrate reasonable weight accuracy to the Government representative. Only materials to be removed by the contractor will be weighed. Pallets, boxes, strapping, etc., which are not integral parts of the packaging and are not being removed by the contractor will not be included in the weight.

(3) Government scales may be used, in lieu of scales provided by the contractor, only where they are available, operable, and authorized by the Government representative. The contractor shall be responsible for determining the availability of Government scales. The Government makes no guarantee that where Government scales are available, they are operable. At the Government's option, the use of Government scales will be allowed at the following sites:

1.2.9 SMALL CONTAINERS AND CONTENTS

a. Services for the removal, transportation, storage, and disposal of small container(s) of RCRA/State regulated hazardous or nonhazardous property will be ordered using CLINs with a “1” in the fourth position, e.g., 9101, 9401. Unless specifically excluded below, small containers are any receptacle containing hazardous or nonhazardous property that has a capacity of less than five (5) gallons.

b. Small containers are not:

(1) Individual sealed articles that are formed to a specific shape or design during manufacture that have an end-use or function dependent in whole or in part upon the shape or design during use.(Examples of such items include, but are not limited to, fuel filters, oil filters, gas mask canisters, chemical defense equipment kits, and factory sealed containers that contain a small container (e.g., epoxy paint).

(2) RCRA empty containers of any size (which may or may not be crushed to reduce their volume).

Examples of such items are empty oil cans, paint cans, etc.

c. In those instances where containers of hazardous property are placed into a larger outer container and the interior packaging is either all small containers as defined above, or a mix of different sizes, some being small containers as defined above, then the entire item (interior packaging and its outer container) shall be assigned to the appropriate small container CLIN.

d. The contractor shall accept the Government's CLIN assignment as a nonsmall container item unless the contractor demonstrates to the COR prior to removal from the Government facility that the item(s) does meet the definition of a small container.

e. If the contractor discovers a small container(s) packaged with other items not classified as small containers, the Government reserves the right to:

(1) Assign all the property, including the larger outer container, under the appropriate small container CLIN; or,

(2) Remove the small containers of hazardous property from the larger outer container, delete the small container items’ weight from the task order, and reduce the containerized CLIN’s weight appropriately; or,

(3) Remove the small containers of hazardous property from the larger outer container, reCLIN the small container items separately as small containers on the same task order, and reduce the containerized CLIN’s weight appropriately.

f. If the contractor elects to package EPA/DOT compatible items in the same container in order to facilitate recycling/disposal, then the contractor must provide an all-inclusive packing list showing each item and its respective quantity. This list shall be placed outside the outermost container. A copy of the packing list must be attached to the manifest. Contractor furnished overpack containers and packing materials will not be included in the total weight calculations for payment purposes.

c. Bulking and consolidation will be allowed only if the contractor has a spill contingency plan and performs operations in a safe manner. The Government retains the right to stop operations if environmental or safety concerns arise

1.2.11 CHARGES FOR EXPEDITES – CLIN 6330-6335,

a. When the expedited removal CLINs are ordered, waste must be removed within the specified calendar day timeframe. Expedited removal CLINs may be ordered in association with any disposal CLIN(s) at any pick-up point(s) on the contract. This is an exception to the standard removal timeframe as specified in Riley Offutt Solicitation and Contracts Instruction Document, paragraph titled “Period of Performance, Including Disposal and Removal”. Minimum TO charges will not apply to a TO containing an expedited removal CLIN. When expedited removal is required, CLINs 6330-35 will be ordered based on the amount of waste to be removed. One

(1) each will be ordered for containerized (non-bulk) waste up to 15,000 pounds in total weight and a maximum of up to eight (8) different TO lines. For bulk removals, one (1) each CLIN 6330-35 is limited to one (1) TO line not to exceed 40,000 pounds in total weight.

1.3 POST REMOVAL

1.3.1 RETURN OF SHIPPING DOCUMENTATION

In addition to the manifest requirements for return to the generator, the contractor shall furnish a copy of each manifest, signed by the designated TSDF, to the DLA Disposition Services site coordinating the waste disposal.

If the contractor is unable to deliver the hazardous property to the designated or alternate facility on the manifest, the cognizant COR will be contacted for disposition instructions.

.2. DISPOSAL / RECYCLING

This subsection covers requirements for disposal/recycling of RCR/Non-RCRA items in general, disposal of specialized commodities such as Compressed Gas Cylinders (CGCs) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), and recycling of various mandatory recyclable items.

2.1 RCRA/NON-RCRA ITEMS

2.1.1 DEFINITION OF RCRA vs NON-RCRA and FINAL TREATMENT/DISPOSAL/RECYCLING

a. Items identified under CLINs 9100 through 9899 have been declared hazardous waste by the Government and are subject to stricter disposal requirements than CLINs 9900 through 9999. Any items identified under CLINs 9801 through 9899 are state regulated hazardous waste, only, and are not considered a RCRA waste.

(1) If the contractor demonstrates through lab analysis and/or other supporting documentation that a CLIN(s) identified under CLINs 9100 through 9899 is not a RCRA/state regulated hazardous waste, the Government may so reclassify the item and place it under CLINs 9900 through 9999. The Government will review the lab analysis and other supporting documentation in a reasonable time period; however, the items in question will be treated as a hazardous waste in the interim and removal timeframes must be met.

(2) For CLINs 9100 through 9899, the following does not constitute final treatment/disposal:

(a) Declaring RCRA/state regulated hazardous waste CLINs as RCRA-exempt as a result of management practices specified in 40 CFR 266 and 279;

(b) Interim treatment of the waste such that the waste still meets the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261 et. seq. All facilities used for interim treatment, final treatment or final disposal of items on this contract must comply with 40 CFR 261, subparts C and D, for each waste the facility is permitted to handle. An audit trail must be provided for all RCRA/State regulated waste until treatment and/or processing renders the wastes non-RCRA or until final disposal is accomplished. Waste handling codes that describe methods of storage do not meet the definition of final treatment nor final disposal under this contract.

b. Any items identified under CLIN series 9800 , suffixed with a “U” in the fifth position, e.g. 9800UB, are considered to as either a RCRA Universal Waste or State Regulated Universal Waste. Universal Waste includes batteries, some pesticides, lamps, and mercury thermostats as defined under Part 273. It may also include state-designated universal wastes, such as electronic wastes. The Contractor will designate on the manifest in block J when UW is being transported. The regulations allow the generator to make the determination about whether to handle these specific wastes as UW or as hazardous waste under other parts of RCRA. The contractor will be advised on the TO if the wastes are to be handled as UW.

c. CLINs 9900 through 9999 are waste not regulated by RCRA nor regulated by the state of generation as hazardous waste and will be subject to less stringent requirements than CLINs 9100 through 9899.

(1) If the contractor demonstrates through lab analysis and/or other supporting documentation that a CLIN(s) identified under CLINs 9900 through 9999 is a RCRA/state regulated hazardous waste, the Government may reclassify the item under CLINs 9100 through 9899. The contractor's claim that a CLIN identified under CLINs 9900 through 9999 is actually a hazardous waste, which should be identified under CLINs 9100 through 9899, shall be treated as potential misidentification by the Government. The CLIN(s) in question shall not be removed, treated or disposed of until the Government has made a determination on the matter.

Reclassification of items from CLINs 9100 through 9899 to CLINs 9900 through 9999, or from CLINs 9900 through 9999 to CLINs 9100 through 9899 shall fall under the "Changes" clause of this contract.

(2) Final treatment means processing at a facility that is appropriately licensed/permitted by local and/or state agency to accept the material. If long-term interment is the selected method of disposal, as a minimum, an EPA/state permitted facility with a textile liner, leachate collection system, and ground water monitoring must be used. An audit trail must be provided for all non-RCRA/non-state regulated hazardous waste until final disposal is accomplished. RCRA treatments, Chemical Fixation (T21) and Encapsulation (T39), when performed on CLINs 9900 through 9999 prior to landfill, are considered final processing/final disposal.

d. The following coverage applies when the contractor alleges that a waste designated for recycling cannot by recycled:

(1) If a waste designated for recycling by the generator does not meet the facility’s required recycling parameters, the contractor must notify the CO, in writing at least five (5) business days, before pickup, of the rationale and proof for waste rejection. This must include written input from at least three appropriate recycling facilities approved on the DLA Disposition Services Qualified Facilities List, at least one of which is not owned by the contractor.

(2) The CO will notify the cognizant DLA Disposition Services site and/or generator personnel to resolve requests to change the assigned mandatory recycling CLIN to the appropriate disposal CLIN. The final decision to change a mandatory recycling CLIN to the applicable disposal CLIN is solely that of the Government’s. If the DLA Disposition Services site and/or generator personnel agree with the CLIN change the applicable disposal CLIN will be assigned.

Replacement facilities or new facilities should be submitted on a new plan and submitted for approval to DLA Disposition Services J-33 via the CO.

2.1.5 LIGHTWEIGHT WASTE SHIPMENTS

The Government anticipates shipping items of various sizes and densities, both RCRA and non-RCRA. This may include, but is not limited to absorbents, filters, construction and demolition debris, rags, paper, plastic, etc.

2.1.5.1 LIGHTWEIGHT BULK WASTE – CLIN 9407DB

a. For contract purposes, CLINs suffixed with DB are any bulk wastes weighing less than three hundred

(300) pounds per cubic yard. Due to the difficulty involved in estimating the weight of bulk items, if the wrong CLIN is ordered on the Task Order the COR shall contact the Contracting Officer for a CLIN change prior to removal. Calculations of the weight per cubic yard will be arrived at using the requirements per clause 1.2.7 or by using the following formula: Net Weight of waste divided by Total Cubic Yards of Container.

b. Bulk items not meeting the above criteria shall be ordered under the standard (non-suffixed) bulk solid CLINs.

2.1.5.2 LIGHTWEIGHT NON-BULK WASTE – CLINs 9404LT, & 9904LT

a. These CLINs are for low density wastes in non-bulk packages.

b. Wastestreams ordered under CLINs 9404LT and 9904LT must have a unit weight of less than 4 pounds per gallon, gross weight. For example, a 55 gallon drum having a gross weight of less than 220 pounds would be ordered under CLIN 9404LT; a 55 gallon drum with a gross weight of 220 pounds (or more) would be ordered under CLIN 9404.

c. If the TO contains multiple containers in the same line, more than one of the containers must meet the defining criteria of paragraph b above to qualify for the lightweight CLIN.

2.1.6 PROVIDE CERTIFICATES OF DESTRUCTION/DISPOSAL – CLIN 6503

Property requiring Demilitarization by the Government will be so listed on the DD Form 1155 Order for Supplies or Services by the DLA Disposition Services site. When property requiring DEMIL is ordered the contractor is required to dispose of this property either by burial or incineration per DoD requirements. The audit trail showing DEMIL/DESTRUCTION was accomplished shall be a signed certified and verified hazardous waste manifest receipt copy, a completed service contract delivery order (DD form 1155), and a certificate of disposal. The completed DD Form 1155 or Certificate of Disposal/Destruction must be submitted in addition to the documentation requirements of Riley Offutt Solicitation and Contracts Instruction document, paragraph titled “Documentation Requirements, DLA Disposition Services Acceptance, Invoicing and Tracking” for invoicing. DEMIL property includes, but is not limited to, Chemical Defense Equipment (CDE) Kits. If a Certificate of Disposal for DEMIL is used then a copy should be returned to the generator, as listed in block 5 of the manifest, and the DLA Disposition Services site/COR. CDs shall be provided within thirty calendar days after disposal of the last waste on the manifest/shipping paper occurs.

2.1.7 CERTIFICATES OF DISPOSAL/DESTRUCTION (CDs) FOR ENTIRE MANIFEST - CLIN 6503MF The Contractor shall obtain and provide necessary documentation to identify and prove that appropriate final disposal of all waste CLINs on the entire manifest/shipping paper(s) has been accomplished.
