Recycled_Content.pdf

This is a Recycled Content Documentation Form (Document 00410) associated with the West Sunset Lift Station project for the Board of County Commissioners of Okaloosa County, Florida. The form is a template designed to collect detailed information about materials proposed for use in the project, requiring bidders to identify whether materials are virgin or recycled and, if recycled, to specify the percentage of recycled content. The form requests documentation for up to three different materials, with each entry requiring the bidder to describe the material, classify its source, and provide the recycled content percentage. Additionally, the form requests information about packaging materials, specifically whether any packaging contains recycled content, and whether the materials themselves are recyclable at the end of their intended use, with space for explanatory notes.

The form serves as an environmental compliance and sustainability documentation tool for the lift station project, which involves furnishing and installing a tremie-style wetwell along with pumps and electrical systems to replace an existing facility. By requiring detailed recycled content information, the form enables Okaloosa County to evaluate bidders' adherence to environmental sustainability standards and track the incorporation of recycled materials throughout the project. This documentation approach allows the county to assess both the initial use of recycled materials and the long-term recyclability of components, supporting waste reduction and environmental stewardship goals in the procurement process.
