This is a Post-Consumer Recycled Content (PCRC) Certification Workbook issued by the California Department of General Services, Procurement Division for Event ID 0000039836, Main Line Guardrails. The workbook provides instructions and forms for bidders to certify the minimum percentage of post-consumer recycled content in products, materials, goods, or supplies offered to the State of California. All businesses must certify in writing the PCRC percentage for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), regardless of whether the product meets California Public Contract Code Section 12209 requirements or contains no recycled material. The workbook includes a PCRC Percentages Worksheet that lists guardrail elements (CLINs GE-1 through GE-4) and steel posts (CLINs PO-7 through PO-16), all categorized as metal products with a 10 percent SABRC (Sustainable and Responsible Procurement) minimum requirement. Bidders must complete the worksheet with specific information including bidder name, manufacturer details, manufacturer part numbers, SABRC sub-categories, and PCRC percentages, then sign and submit a Letter of Certification under penalty of perjury affirming the accuracy of the reported information.

The workbook establishes mandatory PCRC reporting requirements independent from SABRC compliance, with metal products requiring a minimum of 10 percent post-consumer material by weight according to Public Contract Code Section 12209. Non-core and catalog-based items are exempt from reporting requirements. The document provides comprehensive product category examples and minimum PCRC thresholds across multiple product types including paper products, glass products, plastic products, paint, tires, tire-derived products, textiles, and pavement surfacing, with minimum requirements ranging from 0 to 100 percent depending on the product category. Electronic signatures and typed names are acceptable on the Letter of Certification. The workbook was revised on March 29, 2024, and again on April 15, 2024, indicating recent updates to the certification process for this statewide guardrail contract opportunity.

Attachment 5 - PCRC Certification Workbook

Revised by DGS 3/29/2024

Post-consumer Recycled Content (PCRC) Workbook Instructions

All businesses are to certify in writing the minimum percentage, if not exact percentage, of postconsumer material in the products, materials, goods, or supplies offered or sold to the state regardless of whether the product meets the requirements of PCC Section 12209. This certification must be provided even if the product contains no recycled material.

PCRC requirements stated in the bid specification and/or pricing workbook are independent from the minimum PCRC requirements for SABRC compliance.

Line items that do not have PCRC requirements stated in the bid specification and/or pricing workbook can have any PCRC percentage including 0%.

Use one row per core line item on the PCRC Percentages Worksheet tab. Insert additional rows if needed. If multiple manufacturers exist for the same CLIN, insert a row for each manufacturer. You may group CLINs that do not have reportable recycled content or the PCRC is unknown. For example: in the "CLIN" field enter the CLIN range “1-10” and in the "PCRC %" field enter "0".

Non-core and catalog-based items are not required to be reported on this form.
