The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is requesting information regarding recycling efforts and rubbish removal for our Austin Service Center located in Austin, Texas and four other locations in proximity to the Center. The contractor shall provide all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies, and equipment (except otherwise provided), and shall plan, schedule, coordinate, and assure effective performance of all services described herein. The contractor shall be required to provide a complete program for separation and recovery of all grades of office waste paper and other recyclable items. The contractor shall remove all trash, rubbish, and waste paper, cardboard boxes, shredded materials, and other debris from the locations. Waste will consist of kitchen waste from the cafeteria (not recycled), child care center waste, work area waste, miscellaneous office paper waste to include security waste, and warehouse waste (cardboard boxes, etc.). The objective of the Government is to reduce waste disposal costs, conserve landfill space, while ultimately conserving natural resources. The documents containing classified/security information shall be processed to render information irrecoverable and then combined with other waste disposed of by recycling or other appropriate means. No less than 75 percent of the refuse shall be recycled by the contractor. Daily pick ups will be required and aditional pick ups requested during IRS peak season (February through May). Estimated tonnage per month for waste paper -- 250, with an additional 24 tons per month during peak season; cardboard boxes -- 12; miscellaneous waste paper -- 10; miscellaneous rubbish 5. Contractor shall furnish waste containers used for storing and holding of waste. Containers must be secured in the vehicle to prevent disclosure of sensitive material during transport. Vehicle must be enclosed and locked to meet security requirements. All waste, including security waste, shall be transported to an appropriate and approved facility for remanufacture, recycling, disposal, shredding, or destruction that is properly certified by the appropriate Federal, State, or Local licensing authority. Security waste shall be handled in a manner that will prevent unauthorized disclosure or access. Recycling facilities shall be certified by the appropriate state and/or Federal Environmental Protection Agency. The contractor shall be required to submit weight receipts to the IRS. Contractors interested in providing either recycling or rubbish removal or both are requested to submit a written Capability Statement within 15 days of this notice. The capability statement shall include past and present information relating to same/similar services provided to either the Government or general public. This is a Request For Information and Sources as part of the Governments Market Survey. A solicitation will be available at a later time and will be for one base period and four, one-year options.
