☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Advanced Chemical Transport, Inc. d/b/a ACTenviro, in an amount not to exceed $500,000 to provide hazardous waste collection and disposal services for the period of October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2027, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Local Road and Flood Control District Funds.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Public Works Maintenance Division maintains over 660 miles of roads, 79 miles of creeks and channels, and 29 detention basins and dams throughout Contra Costa County. This maintenance work consists of, but is not limited to, pavement repairs and surface treatments (e.g., crack seals, pavement patches, thin mill and overlays, and chip seals), pavement striping and painting, as well as vegetation management using herbicides. Hazardous waste is generated as part of this work, and existing state and federal laws require that the generated hazardous waste be transported to permitted recycling, treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (“TSDF”) by registered hazardous waste transporters.
On January 3, 2024, the County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) (Solicitation #2311-713) for hazardous waste collection and disposal services. Advanced Chemical Transport, Inc. d/b/a ACTenviro was selected to provide the services.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not executed, the hazardous waste that is generated by the Public Works Maintenance Division will not be collected and disposed of, which will result in non-compliance with state and federal laws.
