RECYCLING, HAULAGE AND PROCESSING SERVICES FOR SCRAP METAL AND CFC APPLIANCES

The County of Simcoe is soliciting proposals under RFP No. 2026-021 for the collection, haulage, processing, and marketing of scrap metal and CFC-containing appliances across eight waste management facilities. The selected service provider will be responsible for providing all necessary labor, equipment, and permits to ensure safe and compliant operations that maximize material recovery and revenue while minimizing environmental impact. The initial contract term runs from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2030, with the possibility of three one-year extensions at the owner's discretion. Proponents must submit their proposals online by October 13, 2026. Evaluation is based on a total score of 500 points, weighing technical quality, response to specifications, and the total evaluated cost, which is calculated by subtracting estimated revenue from CFC and scrap processing fees. Mandatory requirements include environmental approvals, Ozone Depletion Prevention certification, WSIB clearance, and specific insurance coverage, including 5 million dollars for gradual and sudden pollution. Pricing must be submitted in Canadian funds, excluding HST, with scrap revenue remitted based on the American Metal Market shredded auto scrap index. The contract includes strict operational and administrative requirements, such as adherence to OHSA safety standards and the use of specific PPE. Payment can be processed via Visa or through a purchase order system requiring an Advanced Invoice Notification. The County maintains the right to terminate the contract without cause upon 30 days written notice and may apply liquidated damages ranging from 100 to 1,000 dollars per incident. Successful proponents will be validated through a minimum of three professional references from similar projects completed within the last five years.
