SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Monterey County Health Department, Clinic Services Bureau, entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Stericycle, Inc., effective July 1, 2011 for the purpose of providing proper pickup, treatment, and disposal of biohazardous and pharmaceutical waste services. Through the years, Stericycle has proved to be a reliable vendor, capable of meeting the needs of the Clinic Services Bureau. The initial term of the Agreement was July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 in the amount of $20,000. Since 2011, the Agreement has been revised through Amendments No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, extending the term to June 30, 2018 and increasing the total amount of the contract to $137,850. Amendment No. 4 adds services and increases amount by $8,000, and does not change term.
Medical waste retrieval and disposal services are required by various regulating agencies, including Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in particular, defines waste segregation. Approval of the recommended action will add trace chemotherapy and hazardous pharmaceutical waste containers as needed in the clinics to ensure that the Clinics Services Bureau maintains compliance with regulating agencies while providing essential services to patients in the clinics.
