SALE OF SCRAP W911PT26Q007S TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) expects to generate approximately 1,000,000 lbs. of Steel Turnings to be sold and removed from the facility. The weight of Steel Turnings is an estimate and may vary due to mission production and equipment availability.

The Steel Turnings will be sold per pound. A deposit is not required to submit a proposal; however, the successful contractor must pay the entire amount of the sale price prior to removal of the scrap metal. Scrap will be sold as is. No sorting will be permitted on site. An invoice will be processed and sent to the Contractor via pay.gov. Payment is due within 5 days of receiving the invoice and prior to the scrap removal. If the actual weight of scrap is less or more than 1,000,000 lbs., the Government will issue a credit or additional invoice to vendor via pay.gov, that shall be paid within 5 days of receipt.

The WVA Installation Management Logistics Division shall oversee the loading of the Steel Turnings. Removal weight will be determined after the award; removal scheduling will also be conducted after the award. Prior to removal, the Steel Turnings are put into a shed for the cutting fluids to drain out and then lift into a roll off dumpster. WVA will notify the Contractor when the Steel Turnings are ready for removal. The Contractor shall send a roll off dumpster, which will be loaded by the WVA. Roll off dumpsters are required to have a lid/ cover (per NYSDEC SPDS Multi-Sector General Permit For Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activity, Part II.A.2.c.).

The Contractor shall weigh truck upon arrival and departure at WVA to determine actual weight of scrap.  The Contractor shall send a roll off box (if required), which will be loaded by the WVA.  WVA shall complete a scrap weight pick up form, driver shall sign the WVA scrap weight form after truck is weighed at departure and provide to the Contractor and Contracting Office. The contractor is responsible for safely and efficiently securing the scrap prior to removing from the WVA. WVA does possess equipment and can assist in the loading of the scrap; WVA employees only operate Government owned equipment.
