Title of Project: Hazardous Waste Carts 2. Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW), except as may otherwise be specified. Environmental Management Service, in conjunction with Pharmacy & Occupational Health & Safety are requesting (60) hazardous pharmaceutical waste carts for use on inpatient wards at Wade Park VAMC. Carts must be purpose-built to the specifications listed and are needed to bring the medical center in current EPA & USP800 compliance. These carts are also an essential component to be included in the new FY21 hazardous waste management service contract. 3. Background: An interdisciplinary team comprised of staff from Pharmacy, Safety, Infection Control, EMS, and Nursing has been working on an overhaul of the pharmaceutical waste management processes at the Wade Park facility. This action has been discussed and vetted through the Hazardous Drug & GEMS committees as well as hospital leadership. The driving force for this project are increasingly stringent EPA requirements on the handling of this waste, and the recent publishing of new USP800 guidelines. Non-compliance with current regulations is a great vulnerability which exposes the medical center to possible external audits, financial penalties and JHACO findings. As such, a solution was reached to effectively manage all pharmaceutical waste streams generated on inpatient wards and long-term care areas of the main campus. This plan involves consolidating all waste stations to a singular waste cart. These carts will be deployed throughout patient care wards and offer a one stop shop for pharmaceutical waste disposal and associated PPE for nurses, providers, and frontline care staff administering medications & chemo agents. This also includes disposal of PPE used in the care of COVID-19 patients. Once in-place, external components will be fitted to these carts for the management of P-Listed pharmaceuticals and waste controlled-substances. The contract requirements for our hazardous waste hauler have been modified for FY21 to include use of these carts, and the as outlined above. As such, procurement of these units is critical to our mission. 4. Performance Period: The contractor shall complete the work required under this SOW, and VA will take delivery of all units within in 60 calendar days or less from date of award, unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer (CO). If the contractor proposes an earlier completion date, and the Government accepts the contractor s proposal, the contractor s proposed completion date shall prevail. Work at the Government site shall not take place on Federal holidays or weekends unless directed by the CO. 5. Type of Contract: Firm-Fixed-Price B. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. For every task, the contractor shall identify in writing all necessary subtasks (if any), associated costs by task, along with associated sub-milestone dates. The contractor's subtask structure shall be reflected in the technical proposal and detailed work plan. 2. All written deliverables shall be phrased in layperson language. Statistical and other technical terminology shall not be used without providing a glossary of terms. 3. Where a written milestone deliverable is required in draft form, the VA will complete their review of the draft deliverable within ___ calendar days from the date of receipt. The contractor shall have ___ calendar days to deliver the final deliverable from date of receipt of the Government s comments. C. SPECIFIC MANDATORY TASKS AND ASSOCIATED DELIVERABLES Description of Tasks and Associated Deliverables: The contractor shall provide the specific deliverables described below within the performance period stated in Section A.4 of this SOW. Deliverable One: Deliver (60) hazardous waste carts to the Cleveland VA Medical Center (Wade Park), built to specifications.
