Notes to Offerors

1.This contract is a firm-fixed price indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract written as a performance based contract and allows the Contracting Officer to make monetary deductions and/or a negative mark on the Contractor’s Past Performance when an Acceptable Performance Level (APL) is not met.

2.Pricing for containerized waste will largely be based upon container sizes and the assigned disposal profile, rather than pricing on a per pound basis.

3.Generators are responsible for ensuring their containerized wastes sent for disposal via this contract are in DOT shippable packaging.

4.This contract is for various military and Government activities, which may encompass several states.

Standard removal timeframe for all sites is 30 calendar days from the date of order issuance. The Contractor agrees that, for those portions of the services provided on a Government installation, the services will be provided during normal hours of operations for the installation, which are available upon request from the

COR.

5.This contract requires the transportation and disposal of RCRA wastes, non-RCRA wastes, Compressed Gas Cylinders, and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).

6.Some CLINs ordered under this contract require the Contractor to provide Certificates of Destruction or Disposal (CD), e.g., certain Demilitarization items and PCB-related wastes. The Contractor is cautioned to closely read all CLIN descriptions where such requirements are indicated. Unless explicitly required and written into this contract, only those CLINs requiring CDs, as described in the Bid Schedule, will require that the Contractor provide a CD.

7.Publications and attachments applicable to this contract will be made available upon request. It should be noted that during the solicitation and life of this contract, the Government may make changes, additions, or deletions to those listed.

8.The Contractor is cautioned that some requirements for information and plans are required before start of work on this contract.

9.The Contractor is cautioned that all tank cleaning CLINs will include the team leader, technician(s), and mobilization of all equipment used to perform these services. The Contractor should bid accordingly.

10.The email address for submission of offers is daniel.schuemann@dla.mil

11. Prices MUST be submitted using the attached excel spreadsheet.

BASIC AND OPTION PERIOD UNIT PRICING

Offerors are cautioned against offering more than one price, a range of prices, or a split bid with respect to any contract line item and are advised that, for purposes of this procurement, DLA Disposition Services will consider any such method of pricing to be a material deviation from the bid schedule and/or a nonconforming proposal that will be excluded from further consideration. Offerors must list only one price for any individual CLIN in any single contract period.

NOTE: Zero ($0.00) unit pricing will NOT be accepted.

Unit prices which exceed two (2) digits right of the decimal will be subject to standard rounding conversion as described in this clause.

Standard Rounding Conversion – Rounding up means to increase the terminating digit by a value of 1 and drop off the digits to the right. If the next place beyond the terminating decimal is greater than or equal to five (5), the number will be rounded up. For example, 5.438 will be rounded up to 5.44. If the number to the

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 2 of 102 right of the terminating decimal place is four or less (4, 3, 2, 1, 0), the number will be rounded down. This is done by leaving the last decimal place as it is given and discarding all digits to its right. For example,

6.734 will be rounded down to 6.73.

Alternate proposals will be considered if FAR 52.215-1, Alternate II is included in this request for proposal (RFP). All alternate proposals will be properly marked as an Alternate Proposal and in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, Alternate II. Any such proposal will be considered and evaluated by DLA DISPOSITION SERVICES to the extent that time constraints allow and in accordance with FAR 52.21

Pick Up Locations

The contractor will be required to make pick-ups in and around the grounds of the following DLA Disposition Services sites and generator sites.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

a. The Government agrees that all items placed on a Task Order (TO) on this contract will be accompanied by documentation and markings that comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations relating to the generation and storage of waste.

b. The Contractor agrees to provide all services necessary for the transportation, final treatment, disposal, and/or recycling of the items listed in the schedule in accordance with (IAW) all local, state, and federal laws and regulations, and the terms and conditions of this contract.

These services shall include all necessary personnel, including applicable Subcontractors, labor, transportation, equipment, and the compilation and submission of all documentation required by this contract. All items, regardless of the condition, are being discarded by the Government and will require recycling or disposal as identified via the ordered Contract Line Item Number

(CLIN).

c. The six character CLIN consists of two parts. The term “Base CLIN” refers to the first four characters of the CLIN. The Base CLIN represents the waste description according to the waste profile for a particular wastestream. The term “CLIN Suffix” refers to the last two characters of the CLIN. The CLIN Suffix designates the unit of measure for purposes of tracking and Contractor payment. Example: Base CLIN “FL01” represents Flammable Aerosols, Non- Foaming, No Isocyanates, and the CLIN Suffix “C4” designates a unit of issue of 55-Gallon Container. Accordingly, one (1) 55-gallon drum of flammable aerosols would be represented by ordering one (1) Each of CLIN FL01C4.

1. REMOVAL

The requirements for removal of wastes under this contract are divided into three main phases:

Pre-Removal (1.1), Removal (1.2), and Post-Removal (1.3). The Contractor and their Subcontractors must perform at all times in a prudent, conscientious, safe, and professional manner. The Contractor shall ensure that its agents, employees, and Subcontractors involved in handling and packaging the hazardous waste be trained for the level of expertise required for the proper performance of the task and, in particular, in the areas of chemical incompatibility, general first aid procedures, and spills. Handling equipment and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be provided by the Contractor, unless otherwise stated, and must be appropriate to ensure safe handling of the hazardous waste. While operating on a Department of Defense (DOD) facility, the Contractor may be required to use forklifts. Contractor-operated forklifts must meet specifications listed in the applicable permit. The Contractor agrees that all personnel and equipment used in the performance of this contract are subject to safety inspections by Government personnel while on federal property.

1.1 PRE-REMOVAL

1.1.1 PERMIT / SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

a. The Contractor shall, without additional expense to the Government, be responsible for paying all fees, preparing or obtaining any necessary licenses, permits, notifications, waste profiles, or reports, which result from a Contractor’s transportation, recycling, or disposal decision. This includes acquiring any required permits or registrations necessary to operate on

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 11 of 102 any installation listed in this contract and completing the Notification of Regulated Waste Activity form for the Generator(s) of hazardous waste to sign and file with the applicable state regulators for waste disposal. This includes signing (on behalf of the Government) waste profiles requested by Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDF). All Contractor-signed waste profile sheets shall be written for the actual wastestream using the Generator’s profile for backup documentation. All Generator forms or other means of notifications including correspondence with federal or state agencies on behalf of a Generator must be coordinated with and concurred with by the affected Generator prior to submission to any federal or state agency.

b. The Contractor may be required to attend special training, seminars, instructions, classes, safety orientations, etc., provided by the Government or to provide information to perform work or gain access to the installation. Example: pass and ID requirements, antiterrorist training, EMS policies, and/or forklift training.

c. The Contractor shall use only the facilities and transporters from the DLA Disposition Services Qualified Facilities List (QFL) and Qualified Transporters List (QTL), see the Contract Instruction and Information section of this contract.

d. Any shipments outside the United States must comply with all international agreements and all applicable foreign laws. If the Contractor will be exporting directly from the DOD activity, the Contractor is required to provide a current copy of the Acknowledgment(s) of Consent to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) with the shipping documentation IAW Section 1.1.2. The Contractor may not ship waste outside of the United States to circumvent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR).

1.1.2 SHIPPING/DISPOSAL DOCUMENTATION

a. All references to manifests in this provision refer to the appropriate shipping papers.

Prior to removal from a site identified as a pickup point in this contract, completed copies of all manifests and LDR notifications shall be furnished to the Disposition Services Field Activity coordinating the waste disposal. All documentation shall be clearly marked with the name of the servicing Disposition Services Field Activity in addition to the Generator, contract, and TO number, as applicable. Emergency response information and 24-hour emergency phone numbers shall be listed on the manifest. If blocks for emergency information are not provided, this information shall be placed in the upper right-hand corner of each document.

The Contractor shall provide the COR or the Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) with a copy of the completed form(s) for review by the appropriate Government official at least five (5) business days prior to removal. Expedited orders shall be performed IAW notification timeframes as listed in the Contract Instructions and Information section in this contract.

b. Mock EPA ID numbers created by DLA Disposition Services for use at non-RCRA TSDFs must be entered on all applicable shipping documentation such as non-hazardous waste manifests and bills of lading (BOL). The same mock EPA ID number must be used on DLA Disposition Services Form 1683, Manifest Tracking Log.

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 12 of 102

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 recordkeeping 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, analyses, 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 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 Contractor before the pickup commences. This may require a written notice or fax from the Contractor.

EXCEPTION: Schriever AFB requires that the Contractor request base access for transportation vehicles and drivers. A FAX must be sent to the Hazardous Waste Manager at least three (3) days before arrival. Information required may be obtained from the COR.

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, analyses, or pickups: 10-15 day expedites

– at least 3 calendar days; 5-9 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 subparagraph (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 subparagraph (1) above 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. All other terms and conditions stated in the Contract Instructions and Information section of this contract and within this section apply to any of the aforementioned Expedited Removals, Services, or Performance CLINs.

NOTE: Rapid Gate may be mandatory for access to some DOD facilities. Rapid Gate requires a security background check for Contractors and Contractor employees and once approved, the individual has access to that installation for the length of the contract. There is a per person/per

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 13 of 102 location fee. The fee should be considered in the pricing for this contract. Where Rapid Gate is deployed, the 24-hour advance notification in Paragraph 1.1.3 is not required.

1.1.4 TRAILER SECURITY, PADLOCKS

a. All Contractor trailers and tankers capable of being padlocked must be padlocked upon arrival at the pickup location. Failure to meet this requirement could result in the Government’s halting of the pickup. All trailers and tankers capable of being padlocked must also be padlocked again prior to departure of the pickup location(s). The driver shall provide the padlock and lock the trailer or tanker without assistance from the COR or other Government representative.

b. The COR or other Government representative has the right to request any identification and/or occupational endorsements from the driver beyond what is identified in additional specific sections in this contract and refuse commencement and/or completion of pickups if any unusual or suspicious actions occur. Any potential demurrage associated with the driver verification process and/or the unexpected halt or commencement of pickups will not be grounds for reimbursement by the Government.

1.1.5 HOURS OF OPERATION

The Contractor agrees that, for those portions of the services provided on a Government installation, the services will be provided during normal hours of operations for the installation.

The normal hours of operations for installations on this contract are available upon request from the COR.

1.1.6 PUBLIC AFFAIRS COORDINATION

The Contractor shall refer all inquiries concerning this contract to the Contracting Officer (CO).

Under no circumstances shall any statement be released to the news media directly by the Contractor or any agents of the Contractor.

1.2 REMOVAL

1.2.1 SPILL RESPONSIBILITY

a. The Contractor is solely responsible for cleanup and proper disposal of any and all spills or leaks during the performance of this contract that occur as a result of, or are attributed to, the actions of its agents, employees, or Subcontractors to the satisfaction of the Government and at no cost to the Government.

b. The Contractor shall report all such spills or leaks, regardless of their quantity, to the CO immediately upon discovery. A written follow-up report shall be submitted to the CO not later than 24 hours after the initial telephonic report. The written report shall be in narrative form and as a minimum include the following:

(1) Description of material spilled (including identity, quantity, manifest number, etc.).

(2) Whether quantity spilled is EPA/state reportable, and if so, whether it was reported.

(3) Exact time and location of spill, including a description of the area involved.

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 14 of 102

(4) Containment procedures initiated.

(5) Summary of any communications Contractor has with anyone other than the CO.

(6) Description of clean-up procedures employed or to be employed at the site including disposal location of spill residue.

1.2.2 SEGREGATION OF HAZARDOUS WASTE

All items collected on this contract must be segregated according to the current EPA Hazardous Waste Compatibility Chart, and kept physically separate from any containers not associated with this contract until the initial TSDF is reached. The items must be so marked, that they are readily linked to this contract throughout this period.

1.2.3 STATEMENT ON CONTAINERS

The Generator is responsible for ensuring their containers are suitable for transportation IAW current Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and TSDF acceptance.

Before loading, the Contractor is required to weigh the waste hauling vehicle, trailer, and/or rolloff/vacuum box, as applicable, to establish the empty (tare) weight of the rolloff box, dump truck, tanker truck, etc. This weight will be documented on a certified weight ticket and provided to the COR. After loading, the Contractor is required to weigh the waste hauling vehicle, trailer, and/or rolloff/vacuum box, as applicable, to establish the loaded (gross) weight of the conveyance. This weight will be documented on a certified weight ticket and provided to the

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 16 of 102

COR. The actual (net) weight of the waste shall then be calculated by subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight. When onsite Government scales are available, weights must be agreed upon by both the Contractor and the Government before removal. When offsite commercial scales must be used, a certified weight ticket will be provided to the COR and shall be the basis for payment to the Contractor.

1.2.8 DEFINITIONS, BULK AND CONTAINERIZED WASTE

I. BULK WASTE

a. The term bulk waste refers to waste that is typically removed via rolloff boxes, vacuum or sludge boxes, dump trucks, tank trucks, vacuum trucks, pump trucks, and trucks with vacuum-loaded or pump-loaded tanker trailers. Pumpable liquid wastes that are removed via totes, also known as portable tanks and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC), are considered bulk waste and have a surcharge associated with them (see Tote surcharge CLIN 6386TS, if applicable). Bulk waste does not refer to containerized wastes including waste contained in drums, cubic yard boxes, military tri-wall boxes, cubic yard bags or “super sacks,” lamp boxes, cylinders, or palletized waste.

b. Bulk debris (as defined in 40 CFR 268.2(g)) and other solids weighing less than 600 Lbs/yd3 shall have the CLIN suffix “B6,” and shall be priced per cubic yard (CY). Bulk debris (as defined in 40 CFR 268.2(g)) and other solids weighing 600 Lbs/yd3 or greater, shall have the CLIN suffix “B1,” and shall be priced per pound.

c. The terms solid and solids used in this document and the Bid Schedule refers to solid material which is largely free of free liquids, e.g., soil, silt, sand, gravel, filtercake, powder, granules, crystals, fines, and artifacts that do not meet the definition of debris as defined in 40 CFR 268.2(g).

d. The terms liquid and liquids used in this document and the Bid Schedule refers to liquid material which is pumpable by conventional pumping devices designed to pump low-viscosity liquids and largely free of suspended or settled (vs. dissolved) solids. A liquid that has become frozen due to ambient freezing temperatures, but would otherwise be of liquid state at 72°F, will still meet the definition of liquid for purposes of this contract.

e. The terms sludge and sludges used in this document and the Bid Schedule refers to material that is a either (a) a multiphasic material with some combination of a liquid phase and a solid phase as defined above, (b) a slurry or mud-like material, such as liquid-saturated soil or tank bottoms, whereby solids are largely or completely suspended in liquid and typically flows under gravity, and may or may not be conveyable by high capacity pumping or vacuuming devices designed to move heavy material, or (c) a highly viscous liquid not pumpable by conventional pumping devices designed to pump low-viscosity liquids.

f. The term debris used in this document and the Bid Schedule refers to (a) solid artifacts, fragments, or rubbles which are present, but not primarily present, and are intermingled or suspended in an otherwise fully solid, liquid, or sludge wastestream as described above, or (b) a wastestream which meets the definition of debris in 40 CFR 268.2(g). Note: Definition (a) in this

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 17 of 102 section would meet the “Mixed” Physical State designation indicated in the Bid Schedule for this contract, as CLINs with a “Mixed” physical state refers to solids, liquids, sludges, debris, or any combination thereof. Definition (b) in this section meets the “Debris” Physical State designation indicated in the Bid Schedule for this contract.

g. The term Heavy Solids used in this document and the Bid Schedule refers to bulk waste solids, sludges, and heavy debris (as defined in 40 CFR 268.2(g)), with a density greater than 600 Lbs/yd3 shall be ordered using the bulk CLIN Suffix (B1, B2, B3, or B4). The CLIN Suffix is assigned based on the net weight of each heavy solids bulk load. If a bulk load with a net weight of less than 10,000 Lbs is ordered, the bulk CLIN Suffix “B1” will be used. Loads weighing 10,000 to 20,000 Lbs will be assigned the bulk CLIN Suffix “B2”. Loads weighing 20,000 to 30,000 Lbs will be assigned the bulk CLIN Suffix “B3”. Loads weighing more than 30,000 Lbs will be assigned the bulk CLIN Suffix “B4”. Weights shall be determined using certified Government scales when available, or certified commercial scales when Government scales are not available. Prior to removal, and when possible, the net weight of the waste shall be determined and agreed upon by both the Government representative and the Contractor.

h. The term Lightweight Solids used in this document and the Bid Schedule refers to bulk waste solids and debris (as defined in 40 CFR 268.2(g)) with a density of less than or equal to 600 Lbs/Yd3. These wastestreams are considered lightweight and shall be ordered using the Cubic Yard CLIN Suffix “B6”. Cubic yards (CY) are calculated by visual estimation. For example, if a 20-CY rolloff box appears 90% full, the removal will be estimated and ordered at

18 CY.

Prior to removal, the volume shall be determined and agreed upon by both the Government representative and the Contractor.

j. Bulk waste liquids will be pumpable by conventional pumps typically used on tank trucks and trailers, even if loaded by vacuum truck or trailer, and shall be ordered using the CLIN Suffix B5, indicating gallons.

k. Gallons are calculated by using density or tank strapping and are rounded to the nearest whole gallon using conventional (non-scientific) rounding rules. This rule requires that if the digit to the right of the decimal place is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, leave the whole number alone; if the digit to the right of the decimal place is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, add 1 to the whole number. Example: when the density calculation is used and where the bulk liquid is water (Density = 8.33 Lbs/Gal): 36,290 Lbs/8.33 Lbs/Gal = 4,356.54 gallons. This will be rounded to 4,357 gallons. However, 36,280 Lbs (4,355.34 gallons) would be rounded to 4,355 gallons. Density will be obtained from the waste profile sheet.

l. Tank strapping may be used to calculate the volume of liquid in a tank or tanker given a strapping rod depth measurement. The graduated rod is inserted vertically through the top surface of the liquid to the bottom of the tank and a measurement is taken to determine the depth of the liquid. The depth, usually measured in inches, is compared to a table, or spreadsheet, which shows the conversion to gallons. Only tables specifically calibrated to the tank or tanker being strapped may be used. These measurements will be made by the Contractor.

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 18 of 102

m. The Generator reserves the right to choose which method will be used to determine total gallons of waste offered. The net volume (gallons) of the waste shall be determined and agreed upon by both the Government and the Contractor.

n. Liquids in Totes/IBC Containers. The CLIN used for this waste will include the bulk liquid CLIN Suffix of B5. The Generator shall pay the Contractor based upon the full volumetric capacity of the container in gallons, plus a tote surcharge per tote (see Tote surcharge CLIN 6386TS, if applicable). IBC totes come in various sizes, the most common size being 275- and 330-gallon capacity. Totes/IBCs are transported as containerized waste.

II. Containerized Waste

a. The term containerized waste refers to waste that is typically transported by a box truck or semi-truck and trailer or van, including waste contained in drums, cubic yard boxes, military tri-wall boxes, cubic yard bags or super sacks, lamp boxes, cylinders, or palletized waste.

b. Containers shall be counted, weighed, and documented by the Contractor prior to removal.

Although most containerized CLINs are priced by the container size (CLIN Suffixes C1 through C6), weights must still be documented for other purposes such as manifesting. The Contractor shall provide portable scales, which may be mounted to the truck or trailer, for weighing of items, and must first demonstrate reasonable weight accuracy to the Government representative.

The use of commercial scales is not authorized for containerized items. Only materials being removed by the Contractor will be weighed, including the containers, pallets, and dunnage.

c. Drums larger than 55 gallons (e.g., 95-gal) are to be used only for overpacking smaller drums when the smaller drum(s) are leaking or have the potential to leak. Generators shall be required to pay the contractor based on the size of the overpack drum and not on the size of the inner, overpacked drum(s).

d. “CYB” refers to Cubic Yard Boxes, Cubic Yard Bags or Super Sacks, Gaylord Boxes, and Military Tri-Wall Boxes.

e. “Pallet” refers to a flat wooden, plastic or metal transport structure not more than 48”L x 48”W that supports goods in a stable manner while being lifted by a forklift, pallet jack, front loader, or other lifting device. Skids may be used in lieu of pallets when well suited to support the cargo and are accessible to movement via typical material handling equipment.

Containers/items placed on a pallet are often secured with dunnage, i.e., banding straps, stretch or shrink wrap for stability in movement. The sum weight of the dunnage, pallet, and palletized waste cargo will collectively comprise the weight of the waste, and shall not exceed a weight of 2,500 pounds and/or a height of 72” unless otherwise authorized by the Contractor.

f. The cost to the Generator for a CYB and Pallet are the same when the CLIN Suffix C6 is used and packaged IAW current DOT shipping requirements. However, this does not imply that both packaging methods are always appropriate for wastes assigned a CLIN Suffix of C6. Safety and DOT shipping regulations should always take precedence.

SP4500-13-R-0009 Page 19 of 102

g. Containers of the same Base CLIN and no larger than 5 gallons in size, may be palletized or placed in a CYB in order to assign the CLIN Suffix C6. Containers larger than 5 gallons in size will not be placed in a CYB for purposes of consolidating them into a single container.

Containers of all sizes may be placed on pallets and skids for ease of storage and movement, but containers larger than 5 gallons, other than consumer commodities in their original packaging which may be larger than 5 gallons in size, will have the quantity and CLIN assigned as appropriate to each container on the pallet.

h. Most containerized wastes are assigned a CLIN Suffix of C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, or C6.

These CLIN Suffixes correspond to a range of different container sizes and are ordered as each “EA.” CLINs for containerized PCBs, batteries, and some military items are designated with CLIN Suffix C7 and are ordered in pounds “LB.” CLINs for cylinders and intact lamps have a CLIN Suffix of ME, M1, M2, or M3 and are also ordered as “EA.”

1.2.9 BULK LIQUID PUMPING

a. When a bulk, pumpable liquid (CLIN Suffix B5) is ordered, it may be necessary for the Contractor to pump/vacuum waste from tanks. The Contractor is responsible to furnish all equipment and personnel needed to complete this task, including but not limited to, a collection vehicle equipped with pump/vacuum, hoses, fittings, etc. Pumps/vacuums and hoses shall have a capacity and chemical resistance to safely handle the types of waste to be collected, and remove all pumpable liquids from tanks that can be removed without agitation or introduction of other materials to the tank.

b. The actual weight of the material picked up must be identified on the manifest. Bulk liquid disposal may be ordered from any location in or around pickup points, in addition to the known sites identified below:
