PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Post Wide Recycling and Refuse Services

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide recycling and refuse services to Fort Carson, Colorado. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Consistent with its strong commitment to sustainability and Net Zero Waste goal by 2020, Fort Carson has a vibrant recycling program. Over 50% of recyclable material was diverted in 2015. The Net Zero goal requires that, by 2020, 100% of all recyclable material will be diverted. The Government would like to be aggressive with this goal by diverting more and more of the waste stream and decreasing landfill bound material. While Fort Carson realizes that many products consumed/used today does not allow diversion, the Government would like to increase the percentages of recyclable materials to maximum extent practicable. The Government acknowledges that the gross tons of landfill bound trash will vary annually, as such the Government's expectation is that the contractor shall divert a minimum of 4% of recyclable materials found in the landfill trash each year.

1.3 Objectives: The contractor shall provide recycle program and refuse service support to the Fort Carson, Colorado, Directorate of Public Works (DPW), Operations and Maintenance (O&M) while working with the Government to increase diversion rates.
