Accordingly, references to the State and its agencies as users under this bid and specification and the ensuing contracts encompasses and includes other users such as these entities. The intent of this specification is to request proposals from Vendors and qualify Vendors in the performance of Medical Waste Removal & Disposal in various regions across the State.

A sample project definition is attached to this document at ATTACHMENT NO. 2 for informational purposes only. Under the Continuous Recruitment of Vendors concept (once the initial bidding process is completed and the initial contracts are awarded) a vendor who requests to be placed on the prequalified bid list will be provided with an RFP and allowed to submit a proposal. This proposal will be evaluated under the same terms and conditions as the original proposals. If the Vendor s proposal is accepted, a contract will be awarded and they will be placed on the list of qualified vendors for the remaining term of the initial agreement. Once a Vendor is placed on the qualified vendor list they must remain there under the terms of their initial proposal and will not be allowed to submit a new proposal under the Continuous Recruitment of Vendors provision.

Group 79013 NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF GENERAL SERVICES Page 20 SECTION IV USE OF CONTRACT BY STATE AGENCIES, POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS AND OTHER AUTHORIZED USERS The intent of this section is to acquaint prospective contractors with the procedures and methods User Agencies will follow in order to utilize the service of this contract. IV.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CONTRACTS The OGS Procurement Services Group develops three (3) types of contracts for use by State agencies, political subdivisions, and other authorized users. They are designated by the prefixes PS, PT, or CMS. This is designated as a CMS contract as described below: CMS : is a contract for services where there is a generally fixed rate paid each month and the service is required on a continual basis. User Agencies encumber funds for the contract for the term desired. User Agencies may issue a purchase order or other written document to the contractor to utilize service. Examples include elevator maintenance, pest control, janitorial, and other types of preventive maintenance contracts. IV.2 USE OF CONTRACT BY OTHERS With the written authorization of the Commissioner of General Services, political subdivisions and others authorized by law may participate in contracts resulting from this bid opening. Upon request, all eligible non-state agencies must furnish contractors with the proper tax exemption certificates. Section 163(4)(e) of the Procurement Act of 1995 effective as of July 20, 1995 authorizes the use of centralized contracts for services (including technology) by political subdivisions as defined in section one hundred of the general municipal law or a district therein, and by any public authority or public benefit corporation including the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Contractors are encouraged to voluntarily extend service contracts to those additional entities authorized to utilize commodity contracts under Section 163(3)(iv) of the Procurement Act of 1995, which would comprise all entities authorized under prior laws. A technical amendment to the law is being considered to remedy this situation. Upon legislative approval of the technical amendment, contractors will be obligated to extend service contracts to these other entities.
Group 79013 NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF GENERAL SERVICES Page 21 IV.3 PROCUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS A. Agencies will review the list of locations to determine what region is applicable for the facility requiring Medical Waste Removal & Disposal. B. Agencies will review the list of rates and services available in the applicable region from the Contract Award Notification. If a multiple award contract and unless otherwise specified, the user agencies are required to utilize the services of the lowest bidder first whenever possible by use of the mini-bid. Mini-bid shall refer to the bidding of each project definition since it is a smaller, simpler form of bidding and does not need to duplicate this RFP. C. Agencies will contact the contractors (usually by telephone), who have received an award within the applicable region, and arrange for a joint site visit (if required). Whether or not a site visit is required is up to the user agency. A user agency may decide to define any special requirements in a project definition in lieu of the site visit. D. Agency and contractor shall develop the exact cost or estimated cost if an exact cost cannot be determined at that time. E. Agency shall issue a purchase order or other written order for work depending on the type of contract (refer to section IV.1). Note: for services, purchase orders may be issued for an estimated quantity for the entire year. F. Agencies will issue purchase orders or other written orders, which are effective and binding on the contractor when, placed in the mail addressed to the contractor at the address shown on the signature page. IV.4 METHOD OF PAYMENT The weighting for the boxes shall be the responsibility of the Successful Bidder. However, agencies reserve the right to have an employee present during the weighing or to independently weigh to verify Successful Bidders weights. Contractors billing per pound charges must exclude or deduct the weight of the container. That is if the weight of the containers are included in the total weight at the time of pickup the bill must include a deduction of charges for the estimated weight of the container multiplied by the number of containers picked up. Invoices for payment shall be submitted to the user Agency at the end of each month on a New York State Standard Voucher or company invoice for services satisfactorily completed during that month. This voucher or invoice will contain the Contract ID number (i.e.: CMS00XX); the name of the User Agency; the location where service was performed; and, either in its body or as an attachment, will contain a copy of the report (in accordance with Section [III.4] itemizing work completed during that month. The invoices for New York State Agencies will be processed in accordance with established procedures of the New York State Agency for whom service is being performed and the Office of the State Comptroller. A late charge shall accrue on any payments not made by the State
Group 79013 NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF GENERAL SERVICES Page 22 Comptroller when due, the amount thereof to be calculated pursuant to the provisions of Article 11- A of the New York State Finance Law. Payment of purchases made by authorized entities other than State Agencies under this agreement shall be the sole responsibility of such entities and the Contractor shall bill such entities directly on vouchers authorized by the said entities. In any case where a question of non-performance of a contract arises, payment may be withheld in whole or in part at the discretion of the User Agency. In the event a participating non-state Agency fails to make payment to the Contractor for services rendered and accepted, within 60 days of such delivery and acceptance, the Contractor may, upon 10 days advance written notice to both the Office of General Services and the non-state Agency representative, suspend additional delivery of service to the particular non-state Agency whose payment is late, until such time as reasonable arrangements have been made and assurances given by the said non-state Agency for current and future contract payments. The contract to be entered into as a result of this RFP may be financed through a separate agreement with a third party, and the contractor agrees and acknowledges if such third party financing is utilized, in whole or in part, by the State that its payments, in whole terms or in part, may be made by such third party subject to the terms of this contract and, at the direction of the State. Payments financed under this type of arrangement are not eligible for late payment interest supplements pursuant to Article XI-A of the State Finance Law.

Experience: Describe company s experience with medical waste removal & disposal. 8. References: Submit at least three (3) references where similar work was performed. VI.4 COST PROPOSAL CONTENT In Item 1 (A&B) the Contractor must provide a not to exceed per pound price for removal & disposal of infectious regulated medical waste from a typical office building within the region(s) bid. PSG prefers that both prices be provided. However, if a Contractor chooses to provide only one price, they will only be eligible to bid on project definitions that request that type of pricing. It will be the individual agencies decision to request, in the project definition, the type of pricing that is in their best interest. The pricing provided with this RFP will be used as a benchmark price against which all agency project definitions bid will be compared to ensure that the benchmark price is not exceeded. This price will be evaluated in this RFP only on the basis of reasonableness. Later, when the project definitions are bid which will include all pertinent information for the specific facility, a contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder provided that the lowest bid does not exceed the benchmark price in this RFP. It is recognized that it is difficult to provide a price for these services without knowing the location of the specific site, estimated quantity of medical waste generated or knowing other extenuating circumstances that may effect the removal of medical waste. However, considering a large office building, correctional institution, school or other governmental institution, the Contractor is to provide not to exceed pricing for removal & disposal of infectious regulated medical waste. Items 2 & 3 Sharps Containers and red bags are included in this RFP only as a convenience for our customers. That is, the concept of one stop shopping provided the bid price is sufficiently low enough to warrant purchase of these items from this contract. Therefore, the bid price of Sharps Containers and red bags will not be considered in the evaluation process. Contractors are reminded that the Sharps Containers and red bag pricing will be allowed an increase or decrease on each anniversary as described in Section III.8. NOTE: THE SHARPS CONTAINERS (MINUS THE REFUSE SERVICE), ARE AVAILABLE AS A PERFERRED SOURCE COMMODITY, THROUGH THE NEW YORK STATE INDUSTRIES FOR THE DISABLED. NOTE: Prospective Contractors should note that the price provided in response to this RFP is to assist in evaluating the quality of the bid proposal. Later project definitions, which include all information necessary for the Contractor to provide an exact bid price, will request specific figures for a detailed project. However, such detailed project definition bids cannot exceed the benchmark figures bid.
Group 79013 NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF GENERAL SERVICES Page 29 SECTION VII. PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA/METHOD OF AWARD VII.1 GENERAL There are two Methods of Award criteria that apply. One is for this RFP which seeks to qualify and award contract, on a per Region basis, to all qualified reliable compliant vendors. The other is the award of the Agency project definitions at the time of the mini-bids. The primary difference between the two is the emphasis on cost. The RFP award emphasizes a bidder s qualifications. The Agency project assumes all Contractors are qualified and the lowest bid is paramount. Prospective Contractors should pay special attention to this section. A committee will evaluate bids for this RFP based on the technical criteria described in Sections III & IV. Technical considerations are of greater importance than cost considerations in the evaluation of this RFP. The approach will generally be to evaluate all bids based upon Technical Submittal first. Then, among those that are acceptable, contracts will be awarded to all qualified reliable compliant vendors. Later, during the mini-bid of a project definition, cost will become the sole criteria since competition is limited to only those firms that are qualified by this proposal. Where technical and cost factors are equally competitive, programmatic considerations will then impact the final determination. Technical submittals will be pass/fail based on the information required under section VI.4 and VI.5 in accordance with the criteria set forth below. VII.2 TECHNICAL SUBMITTAL The technical proposal will be scored on a pass/fail basis. The major evaluation criteria are listed in descending order of importance. Sub-criteria within major evaluation criteria are also in descending order of importance. Any Contractor whose proposal is deemed not acceptable, may obtain a written explanation by contacting the issuing office (refer to Section II.1) A. Qualifications and Experience: 1. Quality, extent and relevance of Contractor s experience (including any subcontractors) in conducting similar efforts, particularly of a magnitude and setting similar to that required for this RFP. 2. Quality, extent and relevance of experience, education and training of key personnel (including sub-contractors) to the requirements of this RFP. B. Organization, Staffing and Management Plan: 1. Quality of project organization and management plan; extent to which they will provide for successful, timely and fully compliant program implementation as evidenced by the general plan. 2. Completeness of information regarding organization and extent to which it complies with desired objectives and qualifications stated in the RFP.
Group 79013 NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF GENERAL SERVICES Page 30 VII.3 COST EVALUATION OF BID FOR THIS RFP The cost and contract proposal of this RFP will be evaluated to determine: A. The relationship of Contractor s price and rates to that of others submitting bids. B. The reasonableness of any exceptions or conditions taken to term and conditions of the RFP. C. Later, when the project definition is bid, is the cost equal to or less than the cost in this RFP. VII.4 COST EVALUATION OF BID FOR THE AGENCY PROJECT DEFINITION This section applies after the initial RFP has been completed and contracts awarded to all qualified firms. This award criterion will apply to the Agency project definitions during the mini-bid. In this section, contract refers to the contract resulting from the mini-bid. A contract will be awarded to the responsible low bidder for all of the work specified herein on an evaluated basis. The Contractor is to provide a fixed price either per pound or per box (depending on which pricing method was requested in the project definition) for the removal & disposal of infectious regulated medical waste. VII.5 PROGRAMMATIC The following programmatic consideration, while not indicative of a Contractor s individual merit, will be relevant to the process of selecting proposals that will best achieve the overall goals of the User Agencies. Programmatic criteria will be considered only when there is parity between the technical and cost portions of the submittal. A. Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE). OGS encourages the participation of M/WBE firms in its contracting programs.
