(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

(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.

C.7. GS0347 Indoor Air Quality During Construction March 2008
