SP4520-14-R-0003 (Amendment 0002)

ii. The contractor’s drivers shall have the appropriate emergency action instructions and any other documentation as required by ADR, IMDG, UK, EU and international transportation regulations.

(8) Weighing of Property:

i. Verification of task order weights is required. The contractor shall weigh the wastes in the presence of the COR prior to departure from the installation. (Note: if the installation Environmental Management Office (EMO) has previously weighed the waste and the contractor agrees to the weight from the EMO.

Weighing of the waste in the presence of the COR is not required.) The contractor shall use contractor provided portable scales when Government scales are not made available for use. The annual calibration certificate shall be provided to the COR when the contractor’s portable scales are used. Government scales may be used when available, operable and authorized by a Government representative. Should Government scales not be made available and the container to be weighed is too large for contractor’s portable scale, the contractor may weigh the waste at public scales at no additional cost to the U.S. Government. In such case, the contractor shall provide weight tickets to the COR within 2 calendar days of removal.

ii. The weight of waste shall not include weight of pallets, boxes, strapping, etc., unless this is an integral part of the packaging, shall not be removed by the contractor prior to disposal, and is required by regulation, such as ADR, IMDG, UK or Portuguese law. Containers and pallets that are to be destroyed or disposed along with the wastes/materials that they contain shall be included in the net weight. Containers and pallets that are being used at the convenience of the contractor, but are not disposed of with the waste, shall not be included in the net weight.

(9) Bulk Liquid Pumping:

i. Bulk liquid items collected in Government owned tanks or drums (>190 liters) may be pumped by the contractor to a larger container to obtain a more economical removal. The liquid shall be pumped to a depth of 5 cm or less residue remaining in the Government owned container. The contractor shall not be required to clean the Government owned container. When bulk liquid pumping is ordered, it may be necessary for the contractor to pump material from tanks, scrubbers and sumps. The contractor shall furnish a collection vehicle equipped with pumps, hoses and a metering device. Pumps and hoses shall have the capacity to safely handle the types of waste to be collected, and be able to remove all liquids and sludge’s from tanks that can be removed without agitation or introduction of other materials to the tank, subject to the 5 cm or less residue level as stated above.

ii. When cleaning of a bulk tank is ordered, the contractor shall be required to remove all liquids and sludge from tanks that can be removed without agitation or introduction of other materials to the tank.

Tank pumping will be ordered prior to tank cleaning or in conjunction with tank cleaning. Normally, bulk removal is ordered for bulk tanks only. Sludge, debris, etc. remaining inside the tank after the bulk removal is completed shall be removed during the tank cleaning process. Cleaning can involve human access to a tank, washing with a solvent or other detergent, scraping, scrubbing, shoveling, brushing, and containerizing of solids/sludge until no visible residue remains. Stains are not considered residue. CLIN N70120 shall be ordered according to the type of tank. Tank cleaning requiring respirators and/or confined space entry shall comply with Occupational, Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and EU regulations.

iii. The disposal of un-pumpable sludge/solids removed as part of the cleaning process shall be ordered under the appropriate disposal CLIN, based on the most previous known contents in the tank. This CLIN shall appear on the same delivery order issued for tank cleaning. However, the quantity listed on the delivery order shall be an estimated quantity and may be corrected with a modification after the fact.

(10) Charges For Expedites:

i. When any CLIN specified in the price schedule requires immediate action with a period of performance other than that specified in Section C.7. Period of Performance, an expedited CLIN may be ordered in conjunction with the supporting delivery order. Minimum delivery order quantities shall not apply for expedited removals. When expedited removal is required for waste removal, the maximum amount of waste shall be limited to 35,000 KG of either a single waste stream or a combination of waste streams. No minimum/maximum quantity is applicable for non-waste removal services. Unit of issue reflects each time the contractor is requested to perform a service in an expedited manner. Time period begins upon the issuance of a delivery order. The contractor is expected to utilize the services of sub-contractors if required to meet the timeframe.
