San Juan County Scrap Metal Recycling

San Juan County has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered SJC202217474 for scrap metal recycling services at its landfill facility located approximately 15 miles south of Blanding along Highway 191. The procurement seeks an individual or vendor to salvage and remove an existing scrap metal pile from the county landfill, with specific requirements for load management and payment. The primary deliverables include complete removal of all metal within 45 days of contract execution, with each load to be weighed on the landfill's certified scale. Proposers must submit bids that will remain valid for 30 days after the proposal due date of January 21, 2022. The commodity code 11170 covers alloys including basic steels and stainless steel, indicating the type of metal to be recycled. Non-metal items found in the scrap metal pile will be separately handled by landfill staff. The successful bidder will be required to execute a San Juan County Agreement and remit payment within 30 days of removing the final load from the landfill.

While the RFP documentation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder qualifications, the solicitation appears open to various vendors capable of managing scrap metal recycling. No incumbent vendors or specific organizational restrictions were noted in the available documentation. The RFP does not provide a specific minimum bid requirement or precise award value, leaving financial terms somewhat flexible. Interested vendors will need to submit competitive proposals that demonstrate their capability to efficiently remove and process the scrap metal pile within the specified 45-day timeframe. The payment structure involves the successful bidder paying San Juan County a per-ton rate for the collected scrap metal, suggesting potential revenue generation for the county in addition to clearing the landfill's metal inventory. The procurement appears designed to efficiently manage and monetize accumulated scrap metal while maintaining the landfill's operational cleanliness and efficiency.
