Salvage and Recycling of Decommissioned Electrical Equipment

The City of Anaheim, through the Anaheim Public Utilities Department, is soliciting proposals for the salvage and recycling of decommissioned electrical equipment. The selected respondent will be responsible for the collection, transport, processing, and disposal of utility materials, including transformers, switchgear, conductors, and metal enclosures. A critical component of the scope is the safe handling and regulatory-compliant management of mineral oil and PCB-contaminated equipment, with specific requirements for the labeling and transportation of oil samples in accordance with federal, state, and local laws. Services include monthly or as-requested pickups primarily from the Edwards Utilities Complex, though other city locations may be designated. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by November 10, 2026. The award process is based on a competitive selection that considers factors beyond price, including a proven track record with comparable public utilities and the extent of exceptions taken to the city's Pro Forma Professional Services Agreement. Respondents must certify compliance with the Political Reform Act, Government Code 1090, and non-collusion declarations. Additionally, the provider must adhere to California prevailing wage laws, CAL/OSHA and FED/OSHA safety standards, and EPA regulations. Pricing is to be submitted via a specific Fee Schedule and Rate Table.
