5. Does this contract require prevailing wage rates? Yes, a contractor should ensure that it complies with any and all state law and federal law.

6. Does this contract require any type of bond? The question is vague and overbroad as to “type of bond”.

7. Emergency Response Services requested in bid: How often are there ER’s requested in the past? What type of spills/ER’s? In the past, what type of wastes from the ER?

We have never had an ER request for spills of universal waste materials. On one occasion a large tube of fluorescent lights tipped over causing bulbs to break in a facilities yard, but generally, we do not anticipate ER calls. You may opt to state your level of preparedness in the event you need to clean up a spill of low hazard materials while servicing the colleges.

8. Price Sheet: Batteries- How many pounds per drum? Price lists are intended as stated. If units specify per pound, then the total cost will be multiplied by the contractor for a total.

All of the waste streams are listed in the fees list by a number and nomenclature. The reference list is intended to identify the recycling centers and/or TSDF’s that will be dispositioning the LOW HAZARD and UNIVERSAL WASTES within the continental United States of America.
