C DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

C.1 Background

The Library of Congress requires contract support to provide silver recovery services for the Packard Campus. The Film Preservation Laboratory includes film developing equipment for the processing of new archival film copies. Within the laboratory is waste water purification equipment for the removal of residual silver from the waste water stream; this equipment utilizes both electrolytic silver recovery systems as well as metallic replacement cartridges (MRC’s) as tailing units.

C.2 Scope

The electrolytic systems are periodically harvested by Library staff for silver flake (estimated interval is up to four times per year), and the flake needs to be sent to a processing plant to be purified and recovered. Additionally the MRC’s need to be replaced on a regular basis, (currently estimated to be every 6 to 9 months), and then processed to reclaim the silver that they contain. Finally, the Moving Image section and the Film Preservation Laboratory also generate scrap film that contains silver, which needs to be recovered by re-cycling.

C.3 Requirements

The following services are needed and performed at intervals to be determined by the Library;

C.3.1. Task 1: Remove and Replace CPAC Equipment brand Repac 2000 and Hi-flo II MRC’s or equivalent as described in Deliver-ables below.
