- Description
- Questions Submitted: Is it possible to split this contract and solicit the medical waste separately from the hazardous, universal and controlled substances? Having the additional waste streams added in will make it difficult for an SDVOSB company to provide services that effectively meet the 50% requirement on the limitations of subcontracting. It is very uncommon to have all of these waste streams listed together. Trying to combine all three to one vendor for now. Will this be a tiered evaluation? No Appendix A indicates the waste types and totals: Are we assuming that the facility and CBOCs are generating 2350 pounds per week of medical waste? Resulting in 122,200 pounds per year? See manifests provided for previous volume requirements. What size containers are currently being utilized for the regulated medical waste? Do these facilities use disposable or reusable sharps containers? The VA facilities provide their own small wall mounted sharps containers in the individual offices and exam rooms. These sharps containers are then loaded into 18-gallon sharps container boxes that the contractor must provide. Are all locations intended to be serviced weekly? If that is the plan, if we are seeing low volumes at the CBOC locations, would it be possible to reduce those pickups with a contract modification or by supplying them with additional containers or larger containers? LIST OF CONTRACTOR SUPPLIED CONTAINERS: Pineville = 130 gallon rolling cart (reusable), 130 per month Lafayette A = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Lafayette B = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Natchitoches = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Fort Johnson( Previously known as Fort Polk) = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Jennings = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30 gallon RMW box, 3 per month The previous contractor sub-contracted a company to supply a large metal container, Located at the main facility for storing the waste. This reduced the number of trips necessary for waste disposal. Can you please provide historical data for all waste streams? See volume manifest attached. Will contractor be providing container and bin types, or will the facility already have them in place? The VA facilities provide their own small wall mounted sharps containers in the individual offices and exam rooms. These sharps containers are then loaded into 18-gallon sharps container boxes that the contractor must provide. LIST OF CONTRACTOR SUPPLIED CONTAINERS: Pineville = 130 gallon rolling cart (reusable), 130 per month Lafayette A = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Lafayette B = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Natchitoches = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Fort Johnson( Previously known as Fort Polk) = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30-gallon RMW box, 3 per month Jennings = 18-gallon sharps box, 3 per month; 30 gallon RMW box, 3 per month The previous contractor sub-contracted a company to supply a large metal container, Located at the main facility for storing the waste.
