SURPLUS SALE OF SCRAP METAL ITEMS

The City of Glendale, California, is soliciting sealed bids for the sale of surplus scrap metal and scrap-metal-related items contained within a single 20-yard container, offered on an “as is” basis to the highest bidder, with no warranties or guarantees conveyed. The sale is structured as an “all or none” transaction, meaning the entire lot must be purchased as a single unit, and the buyer is solely responsible for the transport and removal of all materials from City property within thirty days of receipt. Bids must be submitted electronically through the PlanetBids portal by the deadline of August 13, 2026, at 11:00 A.M., using the official Bid Proposal Form provided; no alternative submission methods will be accepted, and each vendor is limited to one bid. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive minor irregularities, and accept any portion of a bid. A $500 deposit per container is required from the winning vendor, which will be refunded only after the empty container is returned within 48 hours in the same condition it was received. Bidders must certify compliance with all terms, including adherence to labor and insurance requirements such as workers’ compensation insurance per California Labor Code Section 3700, and may be required to furnish proof of general liability insurance. The vendor must indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City from any claims arising from the removal or handling of materials and must comply with all federal, state, and local laws, including non-discrimination requirements. Payment must be made in cash, money order, or cashier’s check, with personal checks not permitted, and all pricing must be based on FOB Glendale, California, terms. Invoices must be submitted in duplicate within two days after each shipment to the address specified on the Purchase Order, and payment terms are net 30 days or longer, with no consideration given for early payment discounts. Inspection of the materials is available by appointment with the City’s Water and Power Department, and failure to meet specifications may result in rejection, with the vendor liable for all associated inspection, packaging, and return costs. The contract represents the entire agreement between the City and the vendor, and all terms are governed by the City’s General Terms and Conditions dated December 2018, accessible via the City’s Purchasing website.
