The Contractor shall be required to provide all services, equipment, vehicles, personnel, and materials to manage the 90-day Consolidated Collection Accumulation Point, B3300, for the consolidation of all hazardous waste on VAFB, two additional accumulation points, B974 and B976 (hypergolic storage facilities), and assist with the management of all other collection (45-day) and satellite (270-day) accumulation points. This requirement also includes the disposal of RCRA, non-RCRA and State regulated waste at Vandenberg AFB. All services necessary for the collection, storage, processing, transportation, final treatment and disposal of waste listed in these schedules will be in accordance with all local, state, Air Force, Department of Defense, and Federal laws and regulations, and the terms and conditions of this contract.

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

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. The Contractor is cautioned that some requirements for information and plans are required before start of work on this contract, i.e., Section 2.1.4.

10. 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.

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

12. This solicitation will utilize a reverse auction as prescribed in DLAD 52.215-9023

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

0. 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. Standard removal timeframe for TOs is 15 calendar days from the date of order issuance.

c. The six character disposal 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. See Profile-Based CLIN Guidelines and Master CLIN Schedule on the DLA Disposition Services website for more details.

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.

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.

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.

1.1.7 RAPID GATE SECURITY

The DLA Disposition Services EMS is designed to ensure that all personnel, including contract personnel, whose work activities can cause real or potential significant environmental impact, are aware of how their work supports the EMS and are competent to perform their roles, responsibilities and authorities while supporting the DLA Disposition Services Mission. The DLA Disposition Services EMS program is explained in DLA Disposition Services Manual 6050.02, Environmental Management System. The manual is available online at the DLA publications website (http://www.dla.mil/issuances/Pages/default.aspx). An electronic version of the instruction may be provided to the Contractor upon request to the DLA Disposition Services Environmental Management Representative (EMR) through the Contracting Officer.

b. Site supplements to the DLA Disposition Services Instruction 6050.02 describe information required by EMS at a local level such as local, state, and host environmental regulations as well as local emergency procedures and operating systems unique to the location.

Site supplements also contain information concerning the local interaction between the DLA Disposition Services tenant appropriate facility and the DoD/DLA host facility EMS program.

Copies of site supplements may be obtained from the EMR appointed at each site with an EMS.

c. Contractors and their personnel are required to be aware that each DLA Disposition Services appropriate facility has an EMS and to be aware of EMS policies to perform work and/or gain access to an installation. Each DLA Disposition Services appropriate facility maintains EMS awareness posters that identify the DLA Disposition Services EMR and Host facility EMR for specific guidance concerning an individual facilities' EMS program.

d. The Disposition Services EMR maintains a list of sites that have a site EMS. Contractors may request a copy of the list from the DLA Disposition Services EMR through the Contracting Officer.

1.2 REMOVAL

1.2.1 SPILL RESPONSIBILITY

a.

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

(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. The Government reserves the right to challenge the Contractor’s choice of TSDF when repackaging is required in order to meet container acceptance criteria.

1.2.4 GOVERNMENT EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL

The Government shall not furnish any equipment or personnel to assist in the performance of this contract.

SITE EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE

Utah Street, VAFB 100,000 lb Truck Scale

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 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

1.2.8.1 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. 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 equal to or less than 600 Lbs/yd3 shall have the CLIN suffix “B6”, and shall be priced per cubic yard (CD). Bulk

SP4500-14-R-0007 Page 13 of 104 debris (as defined in 40 CFR 268.2(g)) and other solids weighing 600 Lbs/yd3 or greater, shall have the CLIN suffix B1, B2, B3, or B4, 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 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 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

SP4500-14-R-0007 Page 14 of 104

Cubic Yard CLIN Suffix “B6”. Cubic yards (CD) are calculated by visual estimation. For example, if a 20 cubic yard rolloff box appears 90% full, the removal will be estimated and ordered at 18 CD.

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.

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. IBC totes come in various sizes, the most common size being 275- and 330-gallon capacity. Totes/IBCs are transported as containerized waste.

1.2.8.2 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

SP4500-14-R-0007 Page 15 of 104 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. When drums are overpacked, regardless of their size, and regardless of the size of the overpack container, every attempt will be made to overpack the (inner) drum in such a way that it is positioned in an upright position, as opposed for instance, in an upside down position. This allows the TSDF access to the inner drum for sampling. When drums are overpacked in such a way that they are not accessible for sampling, the overpack container may be rejected and returned by the TSDF for repackaging. 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.

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

SP4500-14-R-0007 Page 16 of 104

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.

1.2.9 RESERVED

1.2.10 BULKING AND CONSOLIDATION

a. Bulking shall be defined as the act of stinging, vacuuming, and/or pumping, as permitted by regulation, from an otherwise removable container(s) into a vacuum truck or tanker. This act may be performed at the discretion of the Contractor, at no additional cost to the Generator.

Containerized waste may be bulked into a tank truck only at the locations listed below:

• CCAP – B3300

• Oil Tanks - B3301, B14400, B10711, and B10713

• OWS – B11177, B10625, B10720, B10715, and B1735

• Water-Jet Mech. – B8415 and B8190

b. Consolidation is defined as any method that involves pouring, siphoning, pumping, draining, or packaging like wastes (liquids, multiphase, or solids) from one container to another.

Wastes may be consolidated only at the locations listed below:

• B3300 only

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 RESERVED

1.2.12 PACKAGING FOR COMPLIANCE – CLINs 6310 - 6313

The Government may order the packaging/repackaging of containers at their option to ensure the waste is packaged according to DOT regulations and TSDF acceptance.

The unit of issue for CLIN 6310 shall be “EA,” which includes all personnel, tools, equipment, and packaging/repackaging supplies for one (1) 56- to 95-gallon container.

The unit of issue for CLIN 6311 shall be “EA,” which includes all personnel, tools, equipment, and packaging/repackaging supplies for one (1) 31- to 55-gallon container.

The unit of issue for CLIN 6312 shall be “EA,” which includes all personnel, tools, equipment, and packaging/repackaging supplies for one (1) 16- to 30-gallon container.

SP4500-14-R-0007 Page 17 of 104

The unit of issue for CLIN 6313 shall be “EA,” which includes all personnel, tools, equipment, and packaging/repackaging supplies for one (1) 6- to 15-gallon container.

Lab packing of small laboratory chemicals is found in section 3.1.7(d) and should not be ordered under this section.

The outer container is not included when CLINs 6310-6313 are ordered. The generator shall provide the container for the above service.

1.2.13 RESERVED

1.3 POST REMOVAL

1.3.1 RETURN OF SHIPPING DOCUMENTATION

a. In addition to the federal manifest requirements for return of signed manifests to the Generator, the Contractor shall furnish a copy of each manifest, signed by the designated TSDF, to the Disposition Services Field Activity coordinating the waste disposal within 35 days of pickup by the initial transporter. If the waste has not been received by the TSDF within 30 days after the initial pickup date, the Contractor shall notify the Disposition Services Field Activity of the physical location of the waste. If applicable, the Contractor shall also provide the manifest with additional transporter signatures.

b. If the Contractor is unable to deliver the items to the designated or alternate facility on the shipping papers IAW 40 CFR Part 263.21(a), the COR and Generator will be contacted for disposition instructions per 40 CFR Part 263.21(b). If the manifest is not returned within 40 days, the Contractor shall prepare the Exception Report and provide a copy to the COR and Generator within 45 days after pickup. Failure of any part of this section will be documented in the Acceptable Performance Levels (APLs) and appropriate action taken as determined by the CO.

c. The Contractor shall ensure there is a clear audit trail for all items until final treatment/disposal/recycling is accomplished or until Process Authorization Plan is implemented, per Section 2.1.4.

d. The following does not constitute final treatment or disposal:

(1) Declaring hazardous wastes as RCRA-exempt as a result of management practices specified in 40 CFR 266 and 279;

(2) Interim treatment of the waste such that the waste still meets the definition of a hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261. 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 waste until treatment and/or processing renders the wastes non-RCRA or until final disposal is accomplished. Management method codes and/or waste handling codes referencing only storage or transfer do not meet the definition of final treatment or disposal under this contract.

SP4500-14-R-0007 Page 18 of 104

2. DISPOSAL/RECYCLING

This section covers requirements for disposal of RCRA/Non-RCRA items, disposal of specialized commodities, e.g., Compressed Gas Cylinders (CGCs), Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), and various items requiring recycling.

Regardless of the ordered disposal CLIN and its associated description, the Contractor shall comply with all State and Federal regulations. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to notify the Government if an ordered CLIN prescribes a disposal or recycling technology which is in conflict with such regulations.

2.1.1 TSCA/RCRA/NON-RCRA/STATE/NON-STATE REGULATED ITEMS

a. The Category and Base CLIN selection for each wastestream is determined by applying the following CLIN Selection Criteria:

1. PCB-Related, Containing or Contaminated by a Source >5.0 ppm

2. Reactive (D003)

3. Ignitable/Oxidizer (D001) – Including flammable/combustible waste, but not chromic acid carrying a D001 (Oxidizer), in which a corrosive CLIN is applied.

4. Corrosive (D002)

5. Toxic (D004-D043)

6. Acutely Hazardous (P-Listed)

7. Leachate (F039)

8. Electroplating-Related (F006-F012, F019)

9. Spent Solvent (F001-F005)

10. Other F-Listed

11. U-Listed

12. K-Listed

13. State-Regulated Waste (Case-by-Case, where applicable)

14. Non-RCRA, Non-State Regulated Waste

b. If the Contractor asserts that an inappropriate CLIN has been assigned, the burden of proof lies with the Contractor. The Contractor must provide documentation which supports the assertion through laboratory analysis, TSDF fingerprinting results, and/or other supporting documentation. After such documentation is provided to the Government, the Government will review the documents within 10 calendar days and may reassign the appropriate CLIN. The waste in question shall not be treated or disposed of until the Government has made a final determination.

NOTE: Laboratories performing testing related to this contract shall use the current EPA SW- 846 protocol whenever applicable. Only when EPA protocol is not available may other analytical methodologies be employed.

SP4500-14-R-0007 Page 19 of 104

c. Recycle/Recovery Base CLINs beginning with “RE” are designated for mandatory recycling/recovery by the Government. If the Contractor asserts that a waste designated for recycling cannot be recycled because it does not meet the required recycling parameters:

(1) The Contractor must notify the CO in writing at least seven (7) business days before pickup, of the rationale and proof for waste rejection. This must include written input from at least two recycling facilities listed on the QFL, at least one of which is not owned by the Contractor.

NOTE: Unless prohibited by State regulations, fuels blending does meet the recycling/recovery requirements for certain wastes, including paints, antifreeze, and used oil.

(2) The CO will notify the COR 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. If the Government agrees with the CLIN change, the applicable disposal CLIN will be assigned.

2.1.2 CERTIFICATES OF DISPOSAL, DESTRUCTION, AND RECYCLING

a. Generators may require Certificates of Disposal/Destruction (CD) or Recycling for any and all items at their discretion. The Government recognizes there are additional costs to the Contractor associated with obtaining these certificates from the final/ultimate disposal, destruction, or recycling facility. Unless otherwise stated in this contract, such certificates will only be required as specified in the Bid Schedule/Performance Work Statement (PWS).

b. CDs and Certificates of Recycling shall be provided to the Generator and the COR within 30 calendar…
