7. GREEN PURCHASING GUIDELINES:

The bidder shall be responsible to comply with green friendly materials for cement and concrete plaint-mix as indicated below:

Coal fly ash

Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBF) Cenospheres Silica Fumes

a. It is recommended that the Contractor use coal fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace (GGBF) slag, cenospheres and silica fumes are recovered materials that are readily available in some areas for use as ingredients in cement or concrete.

Coal fly ash is a byproduct of coal burning at electric utility plants. Slag is a byproduct of iron blast furnaces. The slag is ground into granules finer than Portland cement and can be used as an ingredient in concrete. Cenospheres are small, inert, lightweight, hollow, glass spheres that are a component of coal fly ash.

They can be added to cement to produce a specialty, high performance concrete.

Silica fume is a waste material recovered from alloyed metal production. It can also be added to cement to produce a high-performance concrete. According to ASTM C 595, ground granulated blast furnace (GGBF) slag may replace up to 70 percent of the Portland cement in some concrete mixtures. Most GGBF slag concrete mixtures contain between 25 and 50 percent GGBF slag by weight. EPA recommends that procuring agencies refer, at a minimum, to ASTM C 595 for the GGBF slag content appropriate for the intended use of the cement and concrete.

According to industry sources, cement and concrete containing cenospheres typically contains a minimum of 10 percent cenospheres (by volume). According to industry sources, cement and concrete containing silica fume typically contains silica fume that constitutes 5-10 percent of cementitious material on a dry weight basis.

b. ASTM C 595: This specification pertains to blended hydraulic cements for both general and special applications, using slag or pozzolan, or both, with Portland cement or Portland cement clinker or slag with lime. These cements are classified into two types: Type IS which is Portland blast-furnace slag cement and Type IP which is Portland-pozzolan cement. They can also be described according to air-entraining, moderate sulfate resistance, moderate heat of hydration, high sulfate resistance, or low heat of hydration properties. The cement shall conform to the chemical requirements prescribed. In addition, the cement shall undergo different tests to determine the following properties: chemical analysis, fineness by sieving, fineness by air-permeability, autoclave expansion, time of setting, air content of mortar, compressive strength, heat of hydration, normal consistency, specific gravity, water requirement, mortar expansions of blended cement and pozzolan, drying shrinkage, activity index with Portland cement, and sulfate resistance.

c. The bidder shall be responsible to follow the environmental protection agency (EPA) standards. Replacement rates of coal fly ash for cement in the production of blended cement generally do not exceed 20-30 percent, although coal fly ash blended cements may range from 0-40 percent coal fly ash by weight, according to ASTM C 595, for cement Types IP and I(PM). Fifteen percent is a more accepted rate when coal fly ash is used as a partial cement replacement as an admixture in concrete.

Through this ITQ, the City of Miami Beach (“City”) seeks to establish a fixed unit price for the purchase of bulk cement concrete mix, in accordance with the specifications contained in this document. The bidder shall be responsible to maintain all licenses, permits, and any other necessary certification(s) to provide the items and quantities listed in Section 8: Quote Form and shall meet all applicable Federal, State, and Local regulations for these services. Additionally, the bidder is responsible to provide these services in accordance with the guidelines below:
