Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. The Contractor will provide all of the labor, equipment, testing and materials to process, load and transport approximately 300 tons annually of scrap metal from Hatch Hill. The metal pile size ranges from 100 to 200 tons at any given time. It is typically removed before it reaches 200 ton in size. Quantities may vary from year to year. Contractor shall remove the metal from Hatch Hill for recycling within two weeks of a call from Hatch Hill staff. 2. Scrap metal is stored on a paved surface where the surface runoff is collected and treated through the leachate collection system. This paved surface is a landfill cap as part of a landfill remediation project. It is critical that the contractor preserve the integrity of this paved area when performing their duties under this contract. Contractor shall be responsible to repair damage to the pavement and/or other landfill systems caused by their operations. 3. Recent contractors have loaded the metal into transport units directly from the paved pad at Hatch Hill. If contractor proposes an alternate method, a handling plan must be provided with this bid. 4. The Contractor shall provide a separate roll off container at least 30 yards in size for the separation of aluminum and other specific metals, which they must be able to transport after notification of it being filled. The Contractor shall also provide a similar arrangement for the metal that is generated by the City’s Central Garage operation which is a division of Augusta Public Works. 5. Other metals such as Copper, Brass, Lead, Cast Aluminum, and Lead Batteries are also separated from the large scrap metal pile and must be transported by the Contractor upon notification. 6. The Contractor shall provide a copy of the MDEP facility license (and any other applicable licenses for the site) where the metal will be stored. Please provide a copy of any violations to any licenses that have occurred within the last five years. 7. The Contractor will provide a description of what happens to the metal once it leaves Hatch Hill; i.e. where does it go, how long is it stored, how is it stored, how is it transferred to end users, and who the end users are. 8. Safe and reasonable access must be maintained to this recycling area at all times for the customers recycling wood, asphalt shingles and scrap metal. Access on the main road into the landfill must be maintained at all times. 9. The hours of Hatch Hill are Tuesday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Contractor shall work Tuesday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Saturday work may be permitted with permission from a responsible City employee. Loads of metal waste removed from Hatch Hill must be weighed and receipted through the facilities’ Scale Management System. One copy shall be provided to the contractor upon leaving the facility. Weight of metal recycled by Central Garage shall be provided to the City when the roll-off is weighed at the facility where it is taken. 10. The Contractor will pay the City for the scrap metal based on a Hatch Hill scale ticket after weighing the truck upon entering the facility empty and leaving with the scrap metal loaded on the truck or other certified scale ticket. Contractor price will be based on a percentage of the most recent American Metal Market Autobodies Index (AMMAI) for the Boston export market at the time the metal is loaded out from Hatch Hill. Contractor must provide a copy of the most recent AMMAI pricing to the City each time the scrap metal is loaded out for recycling.
