PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

Purpose:

The purpose of this contract is to procure services for collection, transportation and disposal of liquid and solid PCB waste (PCBs and PCB Items) generated by Seattle City Light (City Light) including but not limited to:

• Used dielectric fluid (mineral oil);

• Drained/undrained electrical equipment such as transformers, bushings, and breakers;

• Fluorescent light ballasts;

• Remediation waste; and

• Spill cleanup debris.

This waste contains polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at concentrations regulated under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) and Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 761 - PCBs Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution in Commerce, and Use Prohibitions. The waste is subject to the disposal requirements of 40 CFR 761 Subpart D Storage and Disposal which requires disposal in an EPA approved incinerator or permitted chemical waste landfill. This contract will also be used for the disposal of liquid and solid waste containing PCBs at 1 to 49 ppm such as spill cleanup debris not regulated by TSCA.

PCB wastes are to be picked up primarily from City Light’s South Service Center (SSC) located at 3613 4th Avenue S. in Seattle; however, PCB waste may also need to be picked up from the following locations:

• City Light’s substations located in King County and Snohomish County; and

• Remote generation facilities, e.g., Skagit River Hydroelectric Project located in the North Cascade Mountains, Boundary Hydroelectric Project located in Northeastern Washington on the Pend Oreille River, Cedar Falls Hydroelectric Project in North Bend, or the South Fork Tolt Hydroelectric Project located in Duval in the Tolt River Watershed.

This contract will be used up to 12 times a year or more. The quantity and type of PCB waste will vary based on City Light operations. From January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016, the City of Seattle. spent approximately $26,202.00 with the incumbent Vendor. In 2017 to date, the spend is $17,898.00. Spend is variable based on CIPs, spill cleanup, remediation work, etc. We do not anticipate any tanker loads of oil containing PCBs ≥50 ppm; the contract may be used for 4 or more tankers of oil containing ................
