All labor, equipment, storage, containment, processing, transportation, monitoring of used oil, used oil filters and antifreeze levels, pumping, recycling and or disposal services necessary to properly collect, process and transport all of the household hazardous waste at both sites are to be included in this RFP. The materials and current quantities to be collected are listed in Section 2.4. Following Board of County Commissioners approval, collection services will begin on or around January 1, 2019. Upon the County's option, and if proposed, County may instead arrange for providing a base term of five (5) years and two (2) supplemental two (2) year extension terms. The County will provide a permanent structure at each of the WRCs where HHW collection will occur and be stored prior to regular collection by the Contractor. Both HHW facilities are currently permitted by the State to allow for 90-day storage of hazardous materials, and Contractor may leave partially filled containers in County's facility between collections in order to maximize program efficiency. Contractor will be responsible for all waste stored in County's facility. County certifies that County's facility is secure and equipped with adequate fire suppression system and alarm. 2.4 OVERVIEW OF BASE SERVICES 2.4.1 Screening and Collection of Hazardous Waste All labor and collection are the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall accept and process residential hazardous waste from Orange, Chatham, Durham, and Wake County Residents at both hazardous waste collection sites. CESQG waste from Orange County will galy be accepted at the Eubanks WRC. Residential hazardous waste only is to be accepted at the County's northern district site,the Walnut Grove WRC. The County will provide promotional literature that will illustrate the materials accepted at each of the sites. This information will indicate that explosives, radioactive materials, biologically active or infectious waste, and asbestos are not acceptable. Additional details regarding acceptable and non- acceptable materials are listed in Section 10. Should the County elect to accept non-acceptable waste, the County shall be responsible for the proper disposal of this waste. However, if or when such material is delivered, effort must be made by the Contractor to assist the County in the proper disposal of such materials. Residents will be educated on the importance of keeping HHW in proper containers with appropriate labeling. However, there will sometimes be items which residents cannot fully identify to staff at HHW. When that occurs, the Contractor must attempt to identify received unknowns, and analyze unknown material on site where necessary to allow for its disposal. Unknown material will not be accepted from CESQG participants. 19 of 45 RFP No. 5255
