COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA

AGREEMENT FOR

BIOHAZARD CLEANUP SERVICES

THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE EFFECTIVE ON JUNE 1, 2013 BY AND BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA (COUNTY) AND RESTORATION MANAGEMENT COMPANY (CONTRACTOR), TO PROVIDE BIOHAZARD CLEANUP SERVICES TO THE COUNTY.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Required services include, but are not limited to: � trauma scene cleanup; human bodily fluids (blood, vomit, urine, feces, and saliva, etc); � sanitization of contaminated equipment to include emergency response team gear, respirators, fire

response gear, and personal protective equipment; � routine sanitation cleanup of County owned or leased facilities, public buildings, public safety and

health facilities, and county vehicles; � cleanup of homeless encampments on County property; � cleanup of housing shelters

Required services also include cleaning, sanitizing of personal protective, and specialty equipment. Services shall be provided to any County entity including all departments and programs listed under Exhibit A – County Departments Listing, Fiscal Year 2013. Services shall extend to occupants in facilities owned, operated or leased by the County.

Contractor’s employees (and subcontractors) must be licensed, certified, or registered to provide biohazard cleanup services in the state of California.

Services are required 24-hours per day, 7-days per week. The County does not guarantee amount of services to be performed, as services are required on an as-needed basis.

At the request of Occupational Safety and Environmental Compliance (OSEC) staff, Departmental Safety Coordinators, Facility Managers, Program Managers, Agency/Department Heads or their designated representatives, contractor must respond to calls for biohazard cleanup services, any time of day, any day of the week throughout the calendar year.

The system should help the County of Santa Clara Employee Service Agency, Risk Management Department, Occupational Safety and Environmental Compliance (OSEC) Division realize the following organizational benefits:

1. Ensure general public’s and County employees’ health and safety. 2. Comply with Cal/OSHA regulations. 3. Avoid citations and fines related to environmental, health and safety issues.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY STATEMENTS

Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioners are registered with the Department of Public Health pursuant to Section 118321 of the Medical Waste Management Act. (California Health & Safety Code) The Act defines trauma scene waste as waste regulated by the Cal/OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, that “…has been

County of Santa Clara Biohazard Cleanup Services Contract June1, 2013

3

removed, is to be removed, or is in the process of being removed, from a trauma scene by a Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioner.” (Section 117777, Health & Safety Code).

A Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioner is a person (including companies) that provides trauma scene clean-up services commercially. That is, they are paid for their services. These persons must, by law, register with the Department. Because the definition of waste as trauma scene waste depends on its management by a Trauma Scene Waste Management Practitioner, persons who volunteer to clean such sites (a neighbor or family member, for instance), or who clean scenes that might emerge outside the usual course of primary job duties (for example, properly OSHA-trained police, fire, safety, and janitorial personnel) and are NOT specifically hired to attend to a given trauma incident, do not fall under the Act. That is because the waste they are removing is not, by definition, trauma scene waste.

WORK STANDARDS

All work must be done in accordance with the California Health and Safety Codes and other applicable laws and regulations, including Section 118321 of the Medical Waste Management Act (California Health & Safety Code). The Contractor must exercise utmost precaution for the protection of Contractor and County staff, the public, site personnel, and property. The Contractor must provide adequate safeguards and protective devices for all equipment and machinery, and will take all care to ensure that work proceeds under the highest standards of safety and prudence, and in compliance with all applicable laws.

Contractor must perform all services per Cal/OSHA regulations, State, Federal, and all other applicable laws and regulations. The County does not guarantee any amount of services to be performed as services shall be performed on an as-needed basis as requested by any County departments. All work will be done within the County of Santa Clara.

Contractor will be the primary point of contact for any subcontractor and assume the responsibility of all matters relating to any subcontractor, including service and payment issues. If issues arise, the Contractor must take immediate action to correct or resolve the issues with end-user departments.

TERM OF AGREEMENT

The County awards this agreement for a three-year period, with the option to renew for two additional years. The term of the Agreement will be three (3) years. The term of the agreement shall commence on June 1, 2013 and continue through May 30, 2016. By mutual agreement, the Agreement may be extended for an additional two (2) year period at prices to be mutually agreed upon, with terms and conditions remaining the same.

SAFETY AND HEALTH

Contractor must maintain ongoing, and provide evidence thereof, training for their employees providing services under this Agreement on all applicable Title 8 regulations pertaining to workplace safety. At a minimum the Contractor must maintain an effective injury and illness prevention program (IIPP). In addition to any other applicable local, state, and or federal required training, the Contractor shall ensure their employees receive the following training and specific instructions regarding hazards unique to their job assignment, including but not limited to:

Exposure Control Plan and Blood Borne Pathogens Standard (Title 8, General Industry Safety Order (GISO) 5193)
