Chemical Waste Disposal BH

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences is requesting a fixed-price bid for chemical waste disposal services at its Birmingham Lab located at 2026 Valleydale Road, Hoover, Alabama, with bids due September 4, 2026. This is a time-sensitive solicitation.

The scope includes onsite chemical identification, segregation, and lab-packing of approximately 152.5 liters of hazardous and non-hazardous laboratory chemicals and reagents; completion of EPA and DOT required documentation (waste profiles, waste manifests, land ban forms); and loading, transportation, and final disposal at a designated facility. The chemical inventory comprises 99 items including volatile organic compounds (ethyl acetate, chloroform, methanol, acetone), caustic substances (sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide), heavy metals (gold chloride, mercuric iodide, cobalt thiocyanate), and miscellaneous compounds (formaldehyde, sulfuric acid). The vendor must accept the inventory as presented without requiring additional characterization or laboratory analysis. No chemical waste stream information will be available for chemicals generated during testing.

The contract has a total cost not to exceed $25,000 and may be renewed annually by written agreement for a total term not to exceed five years. The award will be made to the qualified supplier who meets specifications, can dispose of the named chemicals, and submits the lowest cost bid within the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences' budget constraints. Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Suppliers must comply with Alabama E-Verify requirements and sales tax compliance certification. Price escalation during contract performance is limited to 5 percent of annual contract cost and requires written approval from both parties. The contract is governed by Alabama state law with exclusive venue in Montgomery.
