At the completion of the project and within 14 calendar days of final acceptance, the Contractor shall also provide to the Contracting Officer a report of tonnage of debris and materials legally disposed of in local landfills.

1.10.6 Use of Recycled-Content Products (Affirmative Procurement)

Whenever the potential for the use of a non-recycled content product exists during the construction stage of the project, the Contractor shall incorporate in this project, as a substitute, recycled-content products that are listed and identified in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG) for recycled-content products. The Contractor shall use recycled-content products as required by EPA and other governmental agencies and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses.

It is mandated by Executive Order 13101 (Greening the Government through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition) and Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that the Federal Government use recycled-content products in the construction and/or renovation of facilities. It is the intent of the Government to comply with the Environ-mental Protection Agency (EPA) requirement 100% of the time and use as many of the applicable listed recycled-content products as feasible and economically practical. The Contractor shall consider this a standard requirement for all aspects of the project construction.

The recycled-content products listed in the CPG can be found in the EPA website at www.epa.gov/cpg/products.htm. These products are also listed at Annex C to LAFB Affirmative Procurement Plan 32-7080 (See C-1 through C-3 Attached). This list is subject to change at any time so it is the Contractor's responsibility to be aware of any updates or additions.

Such products shall also comply with the requirements of the EPA Recovered Materials Advisory Notice (RMAN). The RMANs recommend recycled-content ranges for CPG products based on current information on commercially available recycled-content products. The recommended recovered materials content percentage can be obtained by clicking on the product on the web-site.

1.10.6.1 Affirmative Procurement Report

Before starting the project, the Contractor shall complete Annex C to LAFB Affirmative Procurement Plan 32-7080 (See C-1 through C-3 Attached) indicating the items he plans to use. The Contractor will provide this to the Contracting Officer and the Project Manager. Then during the accomplishment of the project construction, the Contractor shall complete the form again. At this time, the Contractor shall indicate the use and non-use of products that are contained in the CPG and will list the recycled-content percentage for the applicable item. In each instance where a recycled-content construction product is not used, the Contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer (or his/her designated representative) and the Project Manager a completed Exemption Form, Annex B to LAFB Affirmative Procurement Plan 32-7080, "Recovered Materials Determination Form" (See B1 and B2 Attached).

The Contractor shall complete this form for all items for which he or she desires an exemption from the Affirmative Procurement Program for Recovered Materials that are being procured. Exemptions can only be taken if (1) the item is not available within a reasonable period of time (2) item fails to meet a performance standard in the specifications and (3) the item was only available at an unreasonable price i.e., the recycled-content product costs more than the non-recycled content product. The fourth reason on the Recovered Materials Determination Form, (4) the item is not available from 2 or more sources, does not apply to construction/renovation contractors as the Government will not specify where you can get your materials from. Specific reasons why an exemption is taken will be specified on the form and documentation supporting this reason will be provided and attached.
