2.0 PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

This initiative is a strategic sourcing partnership in which the Richmond VAMC wishes to collaborate closely with the selected contractor to meet goals while creating value for both parties through savings from improved resource efficiency. It is intended that the service provider will increase diversion, working in partnership with Richmond VAMC, its employees and contractors.

Solid Waste Diversion. The Richmond VAMC embraces and is bound by Executive Order 13101, Greening the Government through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition. Solid waste diversion is a major focus of this contract, and the Contractor is expected to work to improve the installation’s diversion rate by improving techniques and methods and researching new markets for items not currently recycled.

In collaboration with the Richmond VAMC identify, design, and implement innovative, cost-effective means to increase diversion and increase recycling with the additional benefits of reducing refuse collection and disposal costs. The diversion rate of 60% must be met by FY2027, and diversion rate of 90% by FY2030.

Optimize current hauling with the first option using a local material recovery facility/ material recycling facility. The second preferred option will be to haul to a power production plant. The last resort will be a landfill.

Develop a detailed tracking, reporting, and billing/invoicing system to support the goal setting, performance tracking, and decision-making ability. Separating solid waste tonnage as a total, then recycling tonnage as a total and then total revenue generated.
