Section C: Statement of Work and Specifications

The contractor shall be responsible for all labor, materials, and other costs associated with provision of medical waste disposal receptacles as well as safe removal and disposal of used medical waste on a monthly basis.

Medical waste may consist of combustible and non-combustible materials such as blood products, needles, syringes, and other sharps, intravenous bags, and associated tubing, packaging materials, gloves and gowns associated with waste collection, and body fluids and excretions.

Medical waste disposal receptacles must be able to safely contain such waste until it is safely removed and disposed of.

The contractor will accept the medical waste at its own risk and the FRTIB will not be liable for any injury or disease resulting from handling it. The contractor shall perform to the standards identified in this SOW and comply with all local, state, and federal regulations.

C.1 Standard Requirements

C.1.A Medical Waste Disposal Receptacle Requirements

1. The contractor shall provide nine (9) self-contained two (2) quart medical waste disposal receptacles (“receptacle”) designated between three floors throughout the agency.

Receptacle locations will be staged in 3 locations (Nursing Room, Men’s Restroom, and Women’s Restroom on floors 8, 9, and 11) at the 77 K Street NE, Washington, DC 20002 location.

2. The receptacles must be fully enclosed with locking lids, leak proof, rat proof, and clearly marked as medical waste disposal units which may contain biohazardous materials. The receptacles must be kept clean and odor-free. Receptacles must never reach more than 75% capacity. Any maintenance or repairs necessary for receptacle upkeep shall be the responsibility of the contractor.

C.1.B Waste Removal and Destruction Requirements

1. Once a month, at a time regularly scheduled with the Contracting Officer’s

Representative (COR), the contractor must remove medical waste from the FRTIB premises and dispose of it safely.

a. The self-contained receptacles must either be removed for waste disposal and replaced with a fresh sanitized receptacle each month OR if receptacle removal is not necessary for safe waste removal and disposal, the existing receptacle must be sanitized and deodorized and outfitted appropriately for continued use.

b. If the second above-described option is used, new bags or covers placed in existing and cleaned receptacles must not cover any trash or foreign materials.

The contractor shall remove any such trash or foreign materials in order that contamination or odorous circumstances will not develop.

2. The contractor must document each month the safe transport and destruction of all medical waste collected from the FRTIB site. Copies of such documentation, including a certificate of destruction, must be emailed to the COR within fifteen (15) calendar days of pick-up and shipment of medical waste for disposal.

a. The Contractor shall dispose of medical waste in such a manner as not to cause conditions detrimental to public health or to constitute a public nuisance.

b. The certificate of destruction shall clearly indicate that all manifested, regulated medical waste was destroyed, and shall specify the site of destruction, the identity of the operation utilized for destruction, and USEPA and State permit numbers and the disposition site of the residue. The Contractor shall certify that residuals are disposed of in accordance with Federal and State laws, regulations and procedures.

3. In the event of any circumstance, such as backed up disposal sites or vehicle breakdowns, which would interrupt or otherwise delay scheduled waste removal and receptacle refreshing, the contractor shall notify the COR as soon as reasonably possible.

Collections as a result of these delays shall be performed by the next business day as coordinated these interruptions with the COR.

4. The Contractor shall comply with all Federal, State, and local laws, or any other regulations and procedures relative to the collection, transport, handling, storage, destruction, disposal, tracking, recordkeeping, manifesting, and documenting of the handling of regulated medical waste when providing regulated medical waste removal services.

C.1.C Certificate of Insurance Requirements

Up to twelve (12) optional ad-hoc collections may be required during each one-year period of performance. Ad-hoc collection must be available with 48-hours advance notice via email. The contractor must respond to ad-hoc collection requests within 24-hours of an email request. All 0ptional requirements pricing must be negotiated at time of initial quotation and award.

To assure timely and equitable evaluation of quotations, an Offeror shall follow all the instructions contained in this solicitation. Quotations must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the tasks and requirements of this solicitation. Failure to furnish a complete and timely quotation may result in an unacceptable quotation that is eliminated from award consideration. The FRTIB will not accept any unilateral changes to an Offeror’s quotation after the closing date and time of this solicitation.

An Offeror shall assume that the FRTIB has no prior knowledge of its experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s quotation. A quotation that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the FRTIB to easily understand and perform a thorough and fair evaluation. The FRTIB may incorporate into this task order, by reference or full text, portions of the successful Offeror’s quotation submitted in response to this solicitation, as revised and supplemented through the final quotation packaged revision. The FRTIB requires only electronic copies of the Offeror’s quotation.

The exclusive responsibility for Source Selection will reside with the Agency.

L.5 Exceptions

The FRTIB reserves the right to award without discussions; therefore, Offerors are advised that taking exception to any requirements specified in this solicitation may result in the FRTIB finding the quotation package unacceptable.

Clarification of FRTIB requirements shall be handled by submitting questions or recommendations to the CO by the date and time specified in L.3. If any Offeror still finds it necessary to take exception to any of the requirements specified in this solicitation thereafter, the Offeror shall clearly identify each exception in its cover letter, provide an explanation of why the exception was taken, propose alternative language, and explain the benefit to the FRTIB.

Exceptions will not necessarily cause a quotation to be rated unacceptable unless the quotation fails to address the benefits to the FRTIB in sufficient detail, or the exception would result in a material deviation from the task order requirements.
