30. SALVAGEABLE MATERIALS: All materials not reused in the project according to the applicable drawings or as specified herein, will be designated as either salvageable or unsalvageable by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

a. Salvageable materials shall remain the property of the government and shall be disposed of by the Contractor as directed by the COR. Materials to be removed shall be removed without damage to adjacent areas. All damage resulting from removal shall be repaired by the Contractor at no cost to the government with materials of like nature, type, and construction as were damaged or with materials to match existing adjacent areas.

b. Unsalvageable materials shall be considered Construction and Demolition Wastes.

31. RECYCLING, CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION WASTES: The Contractor shall separate and handle all hazardous wastes according to the Environmental Protection Statement. All remaining non-hazardous and non-water-soluble waste shall be considered construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The Contractor will be responsible for providing recycling containers and contacting recycling and disposal vendors for pickup or delivery. The Contractor will provide the Engineering Flight with receipts showing the disposition of recyclables to include weights, cost, dates received and signatures of the accepting organization.

a. Recyclables: Recyclables include all materials classified as "construction and demolition debris" by Florida Administrative Code 62-701.200 (27):

“Construction and Demolition Debris” means discarded materials generally considered to be not water soluble and non-hazardous in nature, including but not limited to steel, glass, brick, concrete, asphalt material, pipe, gypsum wallboard, and lumber, from the construction or destruction of a structure as part of a construction or demolition project or from the renovation of a structure, including such debris from construction of structures at a site remote from the construction or demolition project site. The term includes rocks, soils, tree remains, trees, and other vegetative matter which normally results from land clearing or land development operations for a construction project; clean cardboard, paper, plastic, wood, and metal scraps from a construction project; effective January 1, 1997, except as provided in Section 403.707(13)(j), F.S., unpainted, non-treated wood scraps from facilities manufacturing materials used for construction of structures or their components and unpainted, non-treated wood pallets provided the wood scraps and pallets are separated from other solid waste where generated and the generator of such wood scraps or pallets implements reasonable practices of the generating industry to minimize the commingling of wood scraps or pallets with other solid waste; and de minimum amounts of other nonhazardous wastes that are generated at construction or demolition projects, provided such amounts are consistent with best management practices of the construction and demolition industries. Mixing of construction and demolition debris with other types of solid waste will cause it to be classified as other than construction and demolition debris.

b. Non-recyclables: If the waste cannot be recycled, the waste becomes the property of the

Contractor and may be disposed in accordance with all applicable state, federal and local statutes, regulations, and executive orders in effect at the time of disposal.
