The Contractor shall service each location once a week up to a maximum of five (5) times a week based on the site location and facility function. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to develop a route schedule based on facility requirements. The Contractor shall develop a Recycling Container Pickup Schedule and submit the Schedule NLT 30 days upon NTP. Any changes to the Recycling Container Pickup Schedule will be reported in the Contractor’s Monthly Progress Report submitted to the COR on the third (3rd) work day of each month and a copy of the Schedule will be provided along with the Monthly Progress Report.

In the event of vehicle or equipment failure, the Contractor shall be responsible for either repairing or providing a replacement collection vehicle within forty eight (48) hours. Collection requirements for paper includes pick-up of poly-carts from inside high volume paper generation sites (see Paragraph 5.1.8).

2. Volume. The volume of recyclables to be picked up by the Contractor may increase over the life of the Contract, due to growth of the Installation, the return of Soldiers to the Installation from deployment, and/or increased participation in recycling activity by its tenants.

The contractor shall make adjustments based on the management of information prepared by the driver’s route sheets and final approval of the COR. In addition to the normal service schedule, the Contractor shall also service recycling units by request or as needed, per the COR, to prevent overflow, particularly for special events on the Installation.

3. Container Quantity. The quantity of the containers, locations, and pickups listed in TE 3 may vary by up to 15% on a temporary basis. In the event that a variance exceeds a period of 60 days, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party based upon the actual increase or decrease of reported containers. The equitable adjustment shall be considered for the period after the initial 60 days. The Contractor shall not add containers in excess of the 15% variation for any container type without prior written approval from the Contracting Officer.

4. Events. The Contractor shall provide event support as described and a monthly Event Recycling Container Report on the third (3rd) work day of each month following the event to the COR showing the weight of the recyclables (based on the total weight of the collection truck both before and after pick-up) collected for each event pick-up and the reason(s), if applicable, for any event not serviced. The following events shall be covered in the 15% variance.

a. “eCycling” Event: On a semi-annual basis (generally in April and November), the Contractor Shall support the Garrison “eCycling” Event to allow an opportunity for the general public to drop off electronic equipment that is no longer needed (not to include Government-purchased items). These items are then stored at the FS Recycling Center and held there for resale. The Contractor shall be required to assist in these efforts. Note that an average of approximately 1,500 pounds of electronic equipment was sold after each “eCycling” Event during FY 2008 and FY 2009. Based on past experience, a four-hour commitment for one person for each of these two “eCycling” Events is required.

b. America Recycles Day: On an annual basis (generally in November), the Contractor shall support the Garrison America Recycles Day event, during which recyclables are collected in containers at a designated location at both FS and HAAF. These materials are then taken to the FS Processing Station. The Contractor shall be required to assist in these efforts.

Buildings 199, 295, 916, 1403, and 1917 at Hunter Army Airfield are currently serviced once every two weeks to fulfill this requirement. TE 6 provides historical data reflecting the typical amount of recyclables collected from the 165th Air Wing Command. Note that the frequency of servicing and the volume of recyclables to be collected there is subject to change due to fluctuating demand. Temporary changes exceeding 60 calendar days or significant changes to the pickups or routes may require a formal contract modification.

The Contractor shall provide a monthly report on the third (3rd) work day of each month to the COR showing the weight of the recyclables (based on the total weight of the collection truck both before and after pick-up) collected from the 165th Air Wing Command for each pick-up date, as well as the buildings serviced and the reason(s) for any buildings not serviced.
