BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County has been contracting with Stericycle, Inc. since April 2002 to provide hazardous waste management services to Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and various Health Center locations within the county including pick-up of filled waste containers and delivery of empty, clean containers, on the dates, at the times, and at the designated pick-up sites in each facility. This contract is entered into under and subject to the following legal authorities: California Government Code §§ 26227 and 31000. This contract was approved by Health Services Personnel to ensure there is no conflict with labor relations.
On September 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-437-15 with Stericycle, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 to provide bio-hazardous waste management removal services for CCRMC and Contra Costa Health Center locations, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-437-16 will allow the contractor to provide additional bio-hazardous services through June 30, 2024. Controlled substance waste services were not included in the original contract, therefore this Amendment is retroactive to cover services already rendered.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Amendment is not approved, contractor will not be paid for additional bio-hazardous services.
