SALE OF SCRAP W911PT-24-Q-001S TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) expects to generate approximately 1,000,000 lbs. of Gun Ends (rough forged material).

The WVA Installation Management Logistics Division shall oversee the loading of the steel. Removal weight will be determined after award; removal scheduling will also be conducted after award. The weight of steel is an estimate and may vary due to mission production and equipment availability. The Contractor would weigh truck upon arrival and departure at WVA to determine actual weight of scrap. Prior to removal, the cut tube ends are placed in a scrap yard, bordered by a set of concrete barriers. This area holds the scrap cut ends generated. WVA will notify the Contractor when the cut tube ends are available for pick up and removal. The Contractor shall send a roll off box, or equivalent, which will be loaded by the contractor. WVA will complete a scrap pick up form after truck is weighed at departure and provide to the Contractor. The steel will be sold per pound.

A deposit is not required to submit a proposal; however, the successful contractor must pay the entire amount of the sale price prior to removal of the scrap metal. Steel will be sold as is. No sorting will be permitted on site. An invoice will be processed and sent to the Contractor via pay.gov. Payment is due within 10 days of receiving the invoice and prior to the scrap removal. After removal, the Contractor shall also provide the WVA Contracting Office Point of Contact, Katja Fox katja.fox.civ@army.mil with scrap pick up form. If actual weight of scrap is less or more than approximate 1,000,000 lbs., the Government will issue a credit or additional invoice to vendor via pay.gov that shall be paid within 5 days of receipt.
