EXHIBIT C7
PBS WASTE AUDITS
This exhibit is provided to the Contractor as a guide for additional considerations for post-audit monitoring, plan implementation, training and other ancillary activities that may assist GSA in meeting the listed objectives.
I. Background GSA’s Public Buildings Service (PBS) provides work environments for over one million Federal employees nationwide. The inventory consists of courthouses, laboratories, offices and border stations.
Tenant activities in these buildings generate tons of solid waste/trash that PBS is obligated to properly dispose of and achieve a minimum waste diversion of 50%. Recycling composting and other alternatives to landfills and incineration are the preferred methods for disposal of solid waste/trash.
II. Objectives Determine the most efficient methods to maximize reduction, recycling, and composting of solid waste/trash and to minimize waste shipments.
Achieve a minimum of 50% waste diversion through waste minimization, recycling, and composting.
Determine the right service level for solid waste/trash collection and removal
III. Extent Of Work The Contractor shall conduct a solid waste/trash audit to include:
100% of the waste and/or recycling collected in a 24 hour period must be audited (excluding durable goods or construction waste).
The audit must represent a 24 hour period on a typical work day.
Use scales to weigh sorted waste, as weight is the preferred metric.
Determine the amount of recyclable materials being thrown away that could have been recycled and composted. At a minimum, the recyclable items within the waste/trash must be identified and separated into the following categories: Paper, Plastic, Cardboard, Glass, Metal/aluminum, and Wet Waste.
The Contractor shall develop a written report and analysis of the conclusions drawn from this audit, including recommendations for improving the economy and efficiency of waste collection, storage, transfer, and disposal (including recycling and composting). This report shall address, at a minimum:
Recommendations to maximize waste minimization, recycling, and composting to achieve at least 50% waste diversion.
Recommendations to right-size service level for solid waste/trash removal services to minimize trash shipments.
The report and analysis is due 60 days after the start date.
