MPA 118 OE Hazardous Waste and Petroleum Related Services

The State of Rhode Island is soliciting proposals under Master Price Agreement OET27007082 for immediate response and cleanup services involving hazardous wastes, petroleum products, and other materials threatening public health, safety, or the environment. The scope of work covers five specific response categories: hazardous material/waste, oil, asbestos, radiological, and biological/medical waste. Initial responses are due by November 18, 2026, at 12:00pm, after which the solicitation remains open for quarterly reviews until December 31, 2028. Qualified vendors must demonstrate the ability to maintain 24-hour telephone communications, provide a technical representative within one hour of an emergency, and initiate cleanup operations within two to three hours of notification. Additionally, contractors must have access to a permitted storage facility within 100 miles of the Rhode Island border. Technical proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale, focusing on staff qualifications, vendor capacity, work plans, and storage approaches, with a minimum score of 70 required for qualification. Ranking for service demand is determined by a comparison of authorized prices across five specific scenarios. Contractors must adhere to strict regulatory standards, including OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 for personnel training and DOT/EPA regulations for the packaging, labeling, and transport of waste. All services are inspected and accepted exclusively by the State On-Scene Coordinator, and invoices must be submitted within 60 calendar days of service completion, substantiated by hazardous material manifests for all disposal activities.
