H.5 GS0346 CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT MAY 2008

(a) Items and material existing in the space or to be removed from the space during the demolition phase are eligible for reuse in the construction phase of the project. The reuse of items and materials is preferable to recycling them; however, items considered for reuse must be in refurbishable condition, and must meet the quality standards set forth by the Government in this solicitation/contract. In the absence of definitive quality standards, the contractor is to ensure that the quality of the item(s) in question will meet or exceed accepted industry or trade standards for first quality commercial grade applications. Before use, the contractor shall submit a reuse plan to the Contracting Officer. The Government will not pay for existing fixtures and other existing improvements accepted in place.

(b) Recycling construction waste means providing all services necessary to furnish construction materials or wastes to organizations which will employ these materials or wastes in the production of new materials. Recycling includes required labor and equipment necessary to separate individual materials from the assemblies of which they form a part.

(c) The Offeror shall maintain a recycling program to dispose of or recycle construction waste in compliance with this clause. The program must cover the following requirements.

(1) The contractor will provide continuous facilities for the recycling of incidental construction waste during initial construction.

(2) Products may be excluded from the recycling program when the small quantity of material involved, the extraordinarily complex nature of the waste disposal method, or prohibitive expense for recycling would represent a genuine hardship.

(3) Records of construction materials recycled shall be maintained and accessible to the Contracting Officer.

Records shall include materials recycled or landfilled, quantity, date, and identification of hazardous wastes.

(d) As a minimum, the contractor will recycle lighting and associated support system, carpet and carpet pad, hardware, drywall, and electrical components during both the demolition and construction phases of the project, subject to economic evaluation and feasibility.

(e) If any waste materials encountered during the demolition or construction phase are found to contain lead, asbestos, PCBs (such as fluorescent lamp ballasts), or other harmful substances, they are to be handled and removed in accordance with State and Federal laws and requirements concerning hazardous waste.

(f) The requirements of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause do not apply when no construction recycling and salvage operation is reasonably available in the locality where work is to be performed.
