Scrap_Metal-_Bin_Capacity_and_Locations.pdf

Attachment H is a bin capacity and locations document for the City of Tucson's scrap metal recycling contract opportunity, detailing container specifications across multiple municipal departments and facilities. The City seeks to establish a revenue-generating contract for scrap metal and appliance collection and recycling services through Request for Proposal No. 240070, with materials collected from self-haul landfill customers, businesses, and city residential collection crews. The contract scope includes removal of collected materials at regularly scheduled intervals and processing of both ferrous and nonferrous metals, including aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, and precious metals. Scrap metal volumes range from 466 to 466,701 pounds across departments including Parks and Recreation, Water Department, Environmental Services, Tucson Fire Department, Tucson Police Department, and General Services. Collection locations are distributed across multiple sites throughout Tucson with varying container capacities, including forty-yard boxes, thirty-yard boxes, twenty-yard boxes, and four-by-four boxes. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for August 6, 2024, at 11:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, with proposals due on August 21, 2024, at 2:00 PM local time. The initial contract term is one year with potential extensions for up to four additional one-year periods.

The contract is structured as a revenue-generating opportunity requiring contractors to submit monthly payments to the City based on the weight of materials collected, with the City's scaled weights determining the revenue share. Evaluation criteria include revenue share proposal, qualifications and experience, and method of approach. Contractors must provide a comprehensive Pollution Prevention Plan, maintain appropriate insurance coverage, and comply with environmental and labor regulations. Contractors are responsible for providing containers, weighing materials, and ensuring proper recycling or disposal of materials determined to have no monetary value. The RFP suggests potential opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises through the Section 3 Program, which prioritizes employment and economic opportunities for low-income persons. No specific budget range is provided in the procurement documents, as the contract is structured to generate revenue for the City rather than utilize municipal funding.
