The OSPR Laboratory Program generates hazardous waste (solvents, chemicals, contaminated samples, expired analytical standards) from spill response work, environmental sample analysis, fish and wildlife loss investigations, enforcement investigations under California Fish and Game Code 5650, hatchery monitoring programs, and special studies. The contractor furnishes all labor, containers, profile fees, labels, manifest preparation, packing, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste materials. Services are performed at two locations in Rancho Cordova: the Petroleum Chemistry Laboratory (1995 Nimbus Road) and the Water Pollution Control Laboratory (2005 Nimbus Road). Waste must be removed and disposed of within five working days of notification during standard business hours.

The contract term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2028 with one optional one-year extension available. The contract budget will be determined by the selected bidder's basis-of-award amount and structured as line-item unit rates for multiple waste streams (halogenated solvents, oil-contaminated solids and water, mixed flammable liquids, vacuum pump oil, desiccants, pesticide standards, PCB standards, ethanol waste, formaldehyde solution, and glutaraldehyde solutions). Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Contractors must hold a current EPA Identification Number, California Hazardous Waste Transporter's Registration, and Motor Carrier Permit, and maintain commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), pollution liability ($1,000,000 each occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), and workers compensation insurance ($1,000,000).
