The document "Scrap_Metal_Locations_and_usage.docx" details scrap metal inventory and usage across various City of Tucson departments and locations. The City of Tucson is seeking a revenue-generating contract for scrap metal and appliance collection and recycling services, with materials to be collected from designated locations throughout the city. The scrap metal inventory includes mixed steel, brass, copper, water meters, and miscellaneous metals from departments such as Parks and Recreation, Water Department, Environmental Services, Fire Department, and General Services. Total scrap metal volumes range from 466 to 466,701 pounds across different locations, with materials including unprepared mixed steel, brass, copper, and mixed wire.

The contract is structured as an "as-needed" service, with the city reserving the right to utilize alternative recycling methods if advantageous. The recycling program will process both ferrous (iron-containing) and nonferrous metals, including aluminum, carbon fiber, high-temp alloys, titanium, exotic alloys, and precious metals. Self-haul landfill customers and city residential collection crews will provide materials, with customers instructed to separate appliances containing refrigerant. The successful contractor will be responsible for removing collected materials at regularly scheduled intervals and processing them for recycling, with provisions for appropriate disposal of materials determined to have no monetary value.
