Following are excerpts from the technical specifications documents of the development of the Vashon Island Transfer/Recycling Station. The building is a recycling facility for the distribution and transfer of waste and recyclable materials. Prior to this construction document, a report was prepared entitled: "Vashon Transfer/Recycling Station: Sustainable Materials Specification Review". This report was prepared by Paladino Consulting for Miller|Hull Architects in April, 1998.
PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 DESCRIPTION
A. The Owner desires that this Project shall generate the least amount of waste possible and that processes that ensure the generation of as little waste as possible due to error, poor planning, breakage, mishandling, contamination, or other factors shall be employed.
B. Of the inevitable waste that is generated, as many of the waste materials as economically feasible shall be reused, salvaged, or recycled.
C. With these goals, the Contractor shall develop, for the Engineer's review, a Waste Management Plan for the Project.
D. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with Contractor's disposal at the Vashon Island Landfill. The Contractor shall weigh in and out of the scales and pay the appropriate disposal fee.
A. Draft Waste Management Plan: Within fourteen working days after effective date or Notice to Proceed, or prior to any waste removal, whichever occurs sooner, the Contractor shall submit 3 copies of the Draft Waste Management Plan to the Engineer.
1. The Draft Plan should contain the following:
a: A list of each material proposed to be salvaged, reused or recycled during the course of the Project.
b. Estimated quantities for each waste stream.
c. Separation requirements.
d. On-site storage method for each waste stream.
e. Transportation method for each waste stream.
f. Destination of each waste stream.
g. Estimated tip fee or rebate for each material.
2. The list of these materials is to include, at a minimum:
a. Cardboard
b. Clean dimensional wood
c. Land clearing debris
d. Concrete
e. Concrete Masonry Units (CMU's)
f. Asphalt
g. Metals from banding, stud trim, ductwork, piping, rebar, roofing, other trim, steel, iron, galvanized sheet steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, brass, and bronze.
h. Gypsum
i. Excavated soils.
3. Include the names for each subcontractor who will transport solid or hazardous waste from the site and the name of the Receiving Facility that will accept waste for disposal.
B. The following resources are available from the King County Solid Waste Division Construction, Demolition and Landclearing (CDL) Program. These materials may be used for development of the Waste Management Plan. In addition, the Contractor may request specific technical assistance from the CDL program in the development of the Waste Management Plan, for on-site contractor and subcontractor training, and on-site inspections.
1. "Contractors Guide to Handling Waste" published by the King County Solid Waste Division lists area haulers and processors available for recycling CDL materials.
2. A series of one-page fact sheets published by the Business and Industry Recycling Venture which provide easy to use tools for setting up job-site recycling.
3. The "Recycling Plus" Best Practices manual for job-site recycling, which provides detailed information and work sheets for setting up job-site recycling.
4. Case Studies which exemplify how job-site recycling has been successful on other projects.
C. Final Waste Management Plan: Once the Owner has determined which of the recycling options addressed in the above draft Waste Management Plan are acceptable, the Contractor shall submit, within 14 working days, a Final Waste Management Plan.
The Final Waste Management Plan shall contain the following:
1. Analysis of the proposed jobsite waste to be generated, including types and quantities.
2. A list of all materials from the Project that will be separated for reuse, salvage, or recycling.
3. Separation and storage requirements for each waste type: A description of the means by which any waste materials identified in paragraph 2 above will be protected from contamination, and a description of the means employed in recycling the above materials consistent with requirements for acceptance by designated facilities.
4. Recycling Vendor: Name of the recycling processor for each material and estimated tip fees or rebate.
5. Receiving Facilities: The name of the Receiving Facilities intended for receipt of non-recycled CDL materials, the applicable tipping fees, and the projected cost of disposing of all project waste.
6. Transportation: A description of the means of transportation of the recyclable or waste materials and the approximate cost of transportation. Include the names of haulers.
7. Meetings: A description of information to be addressed at Project meetings regarding training and updates on waste management requirements.
1.03 MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
A. Manager: The Contractor shall designate an on-site party (or parties) responsible for instruction workers and overseeing and documenting results of the Waste Management Plan for the Project. The Owner will provide staff to assist in this training and to make periodic site visits.
B. Distribution: The Contractor shall distribute copies of the Waste Management Plan to the Job-Site Supervisor, each Subcontractor the Owner and the Engineer.
C. The Contractor shall provide on-site instruction of appropriate separation, handling separation, handling, and recycling, salvage, reuse and return methods to be used by all parties at the appropriate stages of the Project.
D. Separation Facilities: The Contractor shall lay out and label a specific area to facilitate separation of materials for potential recycling, salvage, reuse and return. Recycling and waste bin areas are to be kept clean and clearly marked in order to avoid contamination of materials.
E. Hazardous wastes: Hazardous wastes shall be separated, stored, and disposed of according to local regulations.
F. Submission of Progress Reports: The Contractor shall submit with each Progress Report a summary of Waste generated at the Project. The Summary shall be submitted on a form acceptable to the Owner and shall contain the following information.
1. For each material recycled, reused or salvaged from the Project, the amount (in tons or cubic yards), the date removed from the job-site, the receiving party, the transportation cost, the amount of any money paid or received for the recycled or salvaged material and the net total cost or savings of salvage or recycling the material.
