hazardous materials and reinforcing steel removed before being crushed for use as fill
materials. Crushing operation is allowed at the job site as allowed by local laws and
regulations. Compliance with local Air Quality control and safety regulations will be
required.
3-6.1 Demolish (Implementation). Demolition requirements are implemented as
standard practice for building removal in DoD projects for new construction, and
contract methods for standard demolition are already established. However, all new
demolition contracts need to include specification requirements for the contractor to
track and report the amount of waste disposed in landfills in order to satisfy installation
reporting requirements under the DoD Solid Waste Measure of Merit. Demolition is
typically executed through competitive bidding or an existing JOC contract. Boilerplate
language from a standard model is used in the contract. The nature and extent of the
work to be performed is usually described in the "scope of work" section of the
document. The same language is also included in the bid solicitation.
3-6.2 Recycle (Implementation). The requirement to recycle materials is typically not
included in a standard demolition contract, but an incentive clause can simply be added
to the contract. In an incentive contract, the contractor has a cost for traditional
demolition and waste disposal, but is encouraged to use waste reduction and recycling
techniques. The contractor gets paid fully for his awarded bid, but is allowed to profit
from any cost reductions realized through recycling. Provisions for handling tasks and
the recyclable materials will have to be added to the scope of work.
In general, technical requirements and contract provisions shall be developed to
include:
control of physical hazards
control of environmental hazards
procedures and points of contact for the installation recycling program manager
to work with the contractor to identify local markets for recycled materials
disposition of recyclable material and material to be landfilled
DRMO (Defense Reutilization Marketing Office) (Defense Reutilization Marketing
Office) practices for items removed from buildings
procedures for tracking and reporting the amounts of waste recycled and
disposed in order to satisfy the Solid Waste Measure of Merit metrics of others.
3-6.3 Recover (Implementation). Most demolition contracts do not contain special
language requiring materials recovery. Alternative procedures will have to be described
in detail to explain how contractors plan to achieve maximum recovery in their bid
response. The weight of materials recovered must be tracked and reported along with
