Removal and Destruction of Scrap Metal

The State of Nevada Purchasing Division, on behalf of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) License Plate Factory, is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for the removal and destruction of all scrap aluminum and steel produced from the License Plate Factory. The 10-year contract, anticipated to begin on August 14, 2018 through June 30, 2028, will require the vendor to provide containers and recycle bins for the scrap metals, collect and weigh the scrap, and sell the materials, returning the proceeds to the Department. Vendors must quote prices separately for scrap aluminum and scrap steel based on a percentage of the published American Metal Market (AMM) prices, retaining the difference between the published price and the actual price, which fluctuates daily. The State will not guarantee any specific volume of scrap metals per year.

There is no incumbent vendor identified, and the contract is funded by the revenue generated from the sale of the scrap metals. The state has issued a Letter of Intent to Award the contract to Sims Metal Management, but the contract will not be effective until approved by the Nevada State Board of Examiners. The state will maintain confidentiality of appropriately labeled proprietary information, and vendors are encouraged to register on NevadaEPro.com to receive future solicitations. The overall contract value is not disclosed in the provided information.
