PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background. The DLA Disposition Services Europe and Africa disposes of foreign excess personal property of the United States Department of Defense (DOD). DLA Disposition Services Europe and Africa receives property that is no longer required for use in the DoD and determines whether the property is usable or scrap. If usable property is not needed for redistribution within the Federal U.S. Government, it may be donated to state and local Governments, sold to the public, or processed for reclamation of specific metals and materials required for use by the DOD. Only material that has not been disposed of by these outlets or is determined to be scrap shall be the subject to this contract.

1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this solicitation is to award a contract to manage, collect, transport, recycle, mutilate, demilitarize and dispose of scrap and recyclable material in an environmentally responsible and compliant manner.

1.2.1 This solicitation does NOT involve disposal of hazardous materials or hazardous waste except:

1.2.1.1 Those components specifically regulated as waste by both the Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directives and the European Waste Catalogue (EWC); or

1.2.1.2 Those components, which may become a waste when generated from vehicle sanitation, vehicle parts/components, demilitarization, mutilation, and electronic demanufacturing or otherwise generated by the Contractor during the disposal process

1.3 Objectives. The objectives of contracting for scrap management services are to ensure compliant scrap disposal management; to reduce the U.S. Government's capital investment (facilities and equipment costs) and infrastructure; to reduce solid waste disposal through increased recycling; to move property efficiently; to decrease disposal costs; and to maximize economic offsets.

1.4 Permits. The U.S. Government will not seek facility or equipment permits for regulatory compliance. Therefore, Contractors must understand that if they propose changes to current operations that trigger permitting requirements, this will be evaluated negatively

2. CONTRACT INFORMATION

2.1 Term of the Contract. The base contract period will begin on 1 March 2021 or effective date of award, whichever is later, for an eighteen (18) month period. There are two (2) eighteen

(18) month option periods.

2.2 Contract Type. The contract awarded from this solicitation will be a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity, Task Order, Service type contract. Task Orders will be issued based upon the unit prices established in the contract price schedule.

Attachment 2 Performance Work Statement (PWS) Europe Scrap

SP4500-21-R-0003

2.3 Pricing. There is one (1) price schedule for each performance period; base, first and second option periods. The price schedule lists each DLA Disposition Services sites and includes their respective area. Not all of the areas will have scrap generations for all of the CLINs.

2.3.1 CLIN 0001, Project Management (See PWS 7)

2.3.2 CLIN 0002-0025, Transport and Disposal, are grouped into one of two categories as described below. Index information: The Index is from the publication EUWID (European Economic Service) and has the prices for ferrous scrap, non-ferrous scrap, paper and cardboard scrap, etc. It can be viewed (by subscription) at:

www.euwid-recycling.com

Europäischer Wirtschaftsdienst GMBH Bleichstrasse 20-22 D-76593 Gernsbach

Tel. 07224/9397-0

Fax 07224/9397-904

Email: recycling@euwid.de

2.3.3. The EUWID publication which contains the steel scrap prices (usually the third week of each month) shall be used for invoicing purposes. The specific EUWID book to be used shall be the one published in the preceding month as a corresponding Task Order’s issuance date. For example, all Category 1 items on Task Orders that will be issued in March 2021will reference the weekly EUWID published in February 2021, which contains the steel scrap prices. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to obtain a subscription to the EUWID and supply access to the Contracting Officer (CO) for verification purposes. The Contractor shall provide the prices to the CO nine calendar days prior to the last day of each month.

2.3.3.1 Category 1: Scrap materials with an index. For CLINs 0002-0015 the Offeror must propose a fixed unit price for transporting, processing, and disposing scrap materials released. In addition, Offerors must propose a percentage of the appropriate EUWID index which shall be used to calculate an amount to be returned to the U.S. Government. The transporting, processing, and disposal fee, as well as the EUWID index amount to be returned to the U.S. Government, shall be based on total scrap weight removed from the U.S. Government facility before processing. For example, assume an Offeror bid €.025 for the unit price processing fee and 75% for the percent of index share for CLIN 0004, Aluminum, Mixed. If 1,000 kg were removed and the relevant EUWID price for this material is €1.00 per kg, then the calculation would be as follows:

Attachment 2 Performance Work Statement (PWS) Europe Scrap

http://www.euwid-recycling.com/ mailto:recycling@euwid.de

(A*B = C) Fixed Total Price

([(E/1000)/100]*D-B)*-1 = F Index Adjusted Unit Price

F*A = G Total Amount

Total Amount in ( ) is a Cost benefit to the U.S. Government

Total Amount without ( ) is due to the Contractor.

2.3.3.2 Category 2: Scrap materials without an index. CLINs 0016 - 0025 are scrap materials that may hold either a positive or negative market value. The Offeror shall propose a fixed unit price for transporting, processing, and disposing only, there is no percentage of index calculation. Offerors must propose a unit price of at least €0.01 for any Category 2 CLINs.

Note: Detailed Contract Line Item Information (CLIN) in Attachment 1, Price Schedule.

3. CONTRACT MINIMUM/MAXIMUM

Attachment 2 Performance Work Statement (PWS) type scrap. The Contractor shall submit a plan per DLA Disposition Services site location with the Management Plan as part of their proposal. As such, the Offeror shall demonstrate in this plan how generated scrap will be collected while they are in the process of establishing the collection.

If a U.S. Government scale is not available, the nearest public or certified scales will be used at the cost of the Contractor and witnessed by the U.S.

Government representative. The weight at the time of removal shall be the basis for invoice payment calculations. If there is a discrepancy on the weight at the time of removal, all discrepancies will be resolved by the CO.

8.5 Level 2 Management. When required, the appropriate Sub CLIN 0001 for Level 2 Service shall be ordered in conjunction with scrap CLINs 0002-0024 for pick-up and transportation of scrap material from sites with low scrap generations and no Level 1 collection service. The contractor shall perform this service for any site identified on a Task Order that is beyond a 50-kilometer radius and within the responsibility of the Level 1 site but not exceeding national borders (Attachment 4).
