Scope of Work

1. Provide material (including, but not limited to, sharps containers, boxes and bags to contain bio-hazardous waste), equipment, tools and supervision necessary for the identification, labeling (including cytotoxic waste labels), packaging, and preparation of profile documentation sheets, as well as all labor required for transferring material from the onsite biomedical storage locations to the truck and loading, transportation, disposal and destruction of user generated biomedical waste products. 2. Provide a disposal certificate, or completed manifest, or both with all invoices. The certificate, or manifest, or both must show that the disposition of materials has been in accordance with current Federal, Provincial and Municipal Regulations and Legislation. CSC will not pay the contractor until it provides the disposal certificate, or manifest, or both. 3. Within 90 days of the removal of any hazardous waste, the contractor must provide the Manager Health Services/Regional Pharmacist or Delegate with the Certificate of Destruction reconciled with the waste generated (boxes and mattresses) from each site. Failure to provide this documentation will be sufficient reason for CSC to withhold invoice payment until it receives this documentation. 4. The Manager, Health Services/Regional Pharmacist or Delegate may occasionally request extra pick-ups. The contractor must respond to those requests within 48-72 hours (except for remote locations including, but not limited to, Grande cache institution and OOHL within a minimum of 5 business days.). 5. The contractor must pick up the biomedical waste in all storage areas at each location within the Prairie Region.
