RFP FOR ROUTINE HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT & EMERGENCY RESPONSE

The City of Oakland is seeking proposals for routine hazardous waste management and emergency response. The City generates hazardous waste through its routine operations and has a waste management program to ensure that all wastes generated by City activities are managed and disposed of properly and lawfully. On a regular basis, the City requires assistance to identify and remove abandoned hazardous waste, including biohazards (e.g., needles and human waste), from City rights-of-way (ROWs) and properties. Periodically, the City also requires assistance to perform nonemergency projects such as cleanup of hazardous waste storage/containment structures and decontamination and disposal of hazardous waste associated with closure of homeless encampments. Lastly, emergency response is needed in the event of a hazardous materials incident not handled by the Oakland Fire Department (OFD).
