Questions and Answers from RFQ 2031ZA23Q00387

Question: Is this a new requirement?

Answer: No

Question: SOW says “Brass Shells… Will this be something the government personnel will ensure is not comingled with other brass?

Answer: Yes, the brass shells are separated from the rest of the scrap brass and are stored in drums and labeled as “brass shells”

Question: Most recycling companies (95%) don’t use the monthly reports stated. Buyers of non-ferrous material have to have buyers also already lined up months ahead of time based on material needs. Just because its copper, doesn’t mean top price will be paid when the buyer may already have enough material for 6 months. Was this process used by your agency with much success?

Answer: Yes. Our agency is very successful with the recycling company that takes our non-ferrous metals to pay us according to the Global market price of the scrap metals. BEP to paid based on the percentages listed in the chart and the Global market price website stated in the PWS. Please see PWS section 5.8.

Question: SOW States dumpster. Is this the only allowed method for removal?

Answer: Yes, for the ferrous scrap metals we only allow dumpsters. The maximum size dumpster will be 30 yards.

Question: What regulations are being used to make scrap material waste a commodity instead of just what it is, scrap waste?

Answer: Scrap metal is excluded from the definition of solid waste under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) in accordance with 40 CFR 261.4(a)(13). Market conditions determine the price of scrap metals and other commodities.

Question: To bid do you want us to just email over the excel spreadsheet with Attachment A or do you need something else?

Question: We are currently paying for the scrap metal and charging a fee per container. The bid just has us charge a fee per container. Is there is a place to offer a value for the metal picked up?

Answer: Please see PWS section 5.8 on page 13/14 which provides details. Ferrous rebate to BEP at 50%. Non-ferrous rebate to BEP in chart provided, also below.

Question: This is for roll-off container service, correct?
