BACKGROUND:
On December 17, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the award of Bid No. 607234-24 for Contract for Hazardous Waste Disposal Services Countywide to Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. (NBE) in the amount not to exceed $2,000,000 for hazardous waste disposal services Countywide.
This Contract is for hazardous waste disposal services Countywide.
The following are the pertinent provisions of the Contract:
• The term of the Contract was from date of award through June 30, 2029 and included a 3-month extension.
• Included the option to increase the award amount up to 20% based on possible increased user requirements for the renewal terms and approved budget appropriations.
• Included the option to increase the award amount up to 5% for possible price increases for renewal terms.
• Included the County’s option to terminate for cause, convenience or default and suspend the Contract with advanced written notice.
On January 8, 2026, the Purchasing and Contracts Division issued a Cause and Corrective Action Notice to Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc. due to multiple performance and communication deficiencies that resulted in operational delays and administrative inefficiencies requiring prompt corrective action.
On March 10, 2026, a second Cause and Corrective Action Notice was issued to address continued performance and communication deficiencies, as well as concerns regarding the bulk disposal of chemicals currently stored at the County yard, which remained unresolved and continued to impact operations.
On June 8, 2026, the Purchasing and Contracts Division issued a Notice of Intent to Terminate Contract for Cause and Notice of Meeting to Consider Administrative Action, by certified letter giving the minimum 21 working days’ notice. This letter stipulated that the Contract would be terminated effective July 21, 2026, subject to the Board's approval. Staff recommends that the Board terminate the Contract with Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc.
This action is in accordance with Page II-5, General Conditions, Section 34, Termination for Cause.
