REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CONSTRUCTION, DEMOLITION, AND BULKY WASTE PROCESSING October 1, 2014 RFP Reference No: 2014-CDW 1.0 PURPOSE The municipalities of the Township of Killaloe, Hagarty, and Richards (TKHR), Township of Greater Madawaska (TGM), and the Township of Madawaska Valley (TMV) have issued this multi-municipal Request for Proposal (RFP) for qualified and experienced service providers (hereafter referred to as the Proponent ) for the processing by size reduction (i.e. shredding, grinding, etc.) of construction and demolition (C&D) and bulky waste materials currently stockpiled at each of the participating municipal waste disposal sites, per Table 1 (below). TKHR, TGM and TMV are located in Renfrew County, in eastern Ontario. The addresses for the relevant municipal waste disposal sites are as follows: Table 1: Waste Disposal Site Locations Municipality Waste Disposal Site Address Township of Killaloe, Hagarty, and Richards Killaloe WDS (A412306) 1049 Mask Road RR#2 Killaloe, ON K0J 2A0 Township of Greater Madawaska Black Donald WDS (A411902) 34 Hydro Dam Road, Calabogie, ON K0J 1H0 Township of Greater Madawaska Mount St. Patrick WDS (A411901) 134 Flat Road Mount St. Patrick, ON K0J 1N0 Township of Madawaska Valley Bark Lake WDS (A413404) 21956 Highway 60 Township of Madawaska Valley, ON K0J 1B0 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND APPROACH TKHR, TGM, and TMV are approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) for the segregation, storage and processing (size-reduction) of C&D and bulky waste at the Killaloe WDS, Black Donald WDS, Mount St. Patrick WDS, and Bark Lake WDS. Once processed, the size-reduced C&D and bulky waste
material is used as alternative cover as part of waste cover requirements in the approved waste disposal area at each site and/or landfilled. Historically, and on an annual basis, TKHR, TGM, and TMV have independently retained the services of a qualified and experienced Proponent to conduct processing activities at their respective waste disposal sites; however, in 2013, TKHR and TMV for the first time participated in a multi-municipal RFP for C&D and bulky waste processing services. Based on the success of last year s RFP, TKHR, TGM, and TMV are pooling their resources and issuing this multi-municipal RFP, with the intent to secure cooperative processing services for all three (3) municipalities from a Proponent at a reduced cost, in comparison to the cost to process C&D and bulky waste independently. The anticipated cost savings to the municipalities are expected based on the economies of scale related to combining the volume of C&D waste to be processed from all three (3) municipalities and savings related to mobilization costs. The advantage to the Proponent is understood to be the ability to secure a contract for fall 2014 from three (3) neighbouring municipalities and a total of four (4) municipal waste disposal sites, in the same geographic area of Renfrew County, in eastern Ontario. The stockpiled C&D and bulky waste materials at the Killaloe WDS, Black Donald WDS, Mount St. Patrick WDS, and Bark Lake WDS are generally in one (1), non-segregated pile, and may consist of any of the following types of materials: Wood debris, including painted and pressure treated materials, wooden beams, railway ties, etc. Shingles and roofing waste. Furniture, including mattresses, couches, chairs, and sofa beds. Drywall and equivalent materials. Concrete (may contain rebar/mesh), brick, concrete block. Tree stumps. Other like materials associated with C&D and bulky waste related activities. The participating municipalities estimate that their existing stockpile volumes of C&D and bulky waste are consistent with Table 2: October 2014 Page 2

The individual municipalities are not responsible for any/all of the Proponent s errors in accurate determination of actual volumes of C&D and bulky waste stockpiled at each municipal waste disposal site for the purposes of submitting a Proposal. All C&D and bulky waste processing services at each municipal waste disposal site required under this RFP are to be completed by the successful Proponent no later than Friday, December 5, 2014. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK Based on the objective for this project, the Proponent is to complete the appropriate size-reduction work (i.e. shredding, grinding, etc.) of the existing C&D and bulky waste material stockpiles located at the Killaloe WDS, Black Donald WDS, Mount St. Patrick WDS, and Bark Lake WDS, respectively. Processing of all C&D and bulky waste types listed in Section 2.0 of this RFP is required for the work. 1. The Proponent is to provide all necessary labour, tools, and equipment to process all of the stockpiled specified materials into a dedicated, processed stockpile for use by the Municipalities as alternate cover material and/or landfilling. The Proponent must guarantee that all processed material is to be a maximum of 0.15 metres (6 inches) or less in size, per the volumes indicated in Table 2 by the completion date of Friday, December 5, 2014. By submitting a Proposal, and signing Form 5 Proposal Declaration, the Proponent acknowledges and guarantees that their proposed services would meet with the maximum size requirements noted herein. The stockpiled material volumes indicated in Table 2 will be clearly delineated by each municipality at both sites (i.e. using wooden stakes and tape [or equivalent]). 2. The Proponent must guarantee that all processed material is to be a maximum of 0.15 metres (6 inches) or less in size, per the volumes indicated in Table 2 by the completion date of Friday, December 5, 2014. By submitting a Proposal, and signing Form 5 Proposal Declaration, the Proponent October 2014 Page 3
acknowledges and guarantees that their proposed services would meet with the maximum size requirements noted herein. 3. Any additional C&D and bulky waste not included in the volumes indicated in Table 2 will be set aside by the Municipality in a separate, segregated stockpile. Any supplementary cost for processing of this additional material is to be negotiated separately between the Proponent and the Municipality on a per cubic metre (m 3 ) basis, per the Proponent s identified cost per m 3 in Form 2c. Any additional C&D and bulky waste processed in this manner will be invoiced under a separate line item of the final invoice for each municipal waste disposal site. 4. On each working day, the Proponent is required to remain on-site for an additional one (1) hour following completion of the work (i.e. one [1] hour following the stoppage of waste grinding equipment for the purposes of a Fire Watch ). The Proponent is required to have their own fire suppressant equipment on-site for the duration of the work and telecommunications equipment in the event of a fire emergency. In the event of a fire, the Proponent is liable for all costs resultant from the fire incurred by the Municipality. 5. Any steel (of a substantial size and free of non-metal debris) found to be included in the respective C&D and Bulky waste stockpiles at each site shall be removed and placed in each waste disposal site s scrap metal stockpile, rather than processed by the Proponent s equipment. 4.0 ASSUMPTIONS / CONDITIONS In the preparation of your proposal, the following assumptions are to be considered: 1. Per Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOE) requirements, the Proponent is required under Section 9 of the Environmental Protection Act to have a Mobile Air and Noise Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) to operate equipment used to process C&D and Bulky waste. The Mobile Air and Noise ECA must identify C&D and Bulky waste as approved waste types for processing. The Proponent must operate in compliance with all conditions outlined in their Mobile Air and Noise ECA and the respective municipal waste disposal site s ECA s. 2. The Proponent is restricted to operate only during times approved in advance, and in writing, with each respective municipality and Municipal Contact Person (as identified in Table 3). 3.
