September 5,2013 <br /> Ben Escotto,Senior REHS <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br /> 1868 E. Hazelton Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Dear Mr. Escotto: <br /> The purpose of this letter is to request an emergency one-time extension be granted <br /> regarding the Medical Waste Removal Services for Deuel Vocational Institution (DVI) <br /> located at 23500 Kasson Road,Tracy,CA 95376. <br /> DVI is currently contracted with Converge Medical Solutions located at 1430 Koll Circle, <br /> Suite 103, San Jose, CA 95112. The telephone number for this contractor is <br /> (408)256-6663—Direct Number,or(408)436-2000,extension 301—Main Number. <br /> The Medical Waste was scheduled to be removed from the institution on Wednesday, <br /> September 4, 2013. Due to the Labor Day Holiday, the vendor failed to arrive as <br /> scheduled for service. Additionally, the vendor failed to give the institution prior <br /> notification, thus creating the time between services to go beyond the seven day <br /> maximum as stipulated per the Medical Waste Management Act, Section 118280(d)A, <br /> Containment and Storage. The contractor picked up all Medical Waste today, <br /> September 5,2013;therefore, DVI was only out of compliance for one day. <br /> 1 regret this request must be given after-the-fact; however, since prior notification was <br /> not received by the contractor, DVI was left with no other alternative. <br /> In order to ensure all County and State regulations are followed, as well as, ensure the <br /> environment is protected from accidental bio-hazardous contamination, DVI is <br /> respectfully requesting this one-time extension be granted. <br /> Please feel free to contact me if you should require additional information, <br /> documentation,or have further questions or concerns. <br /> Thank you for your attention regarding this issue. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> DEBORAH DIETZ <br /> Chief Support Executive <br /> Deuel Vocational Institution <br /> 40 (209) 835-4141, Extension 5242—Office <br /> (209)830-3911—Fax <br /> Deborah.dietz@cdcr.ca.gpv <br /> f-A L QXLC:.0 ::>>_ P.O.
