See Construction Materials: Management and Markets, A Resource Guide for Wisconsin Builders and Contractors, Sherrie Gruder, UW-Extension Solid & Hazardous Waste Education Center (1997), for discussion of issues. This Section is based largely on that of WasteSpec (Triangle J Council of Governments, P.O. Box 12276, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, (919)549-0551) . See also Demolition for Salvage and Reuse, Soderstrom Architects, Metro, 600 Grand Ave. N.E., Portland OR 97232 for a prototypical salvage specification for demolition projects (Section 01720—Material Salvage).
Depending on the size and complexity of the project, incorporate all construction and demolition waste management information and requirements into this stand alone Section, and/OR distribute construction and demolition waste management information and requirements throughout related documents. Edit to suit project and location. Coordinate with waste disposal language in other sections . Bear in mind that some jobsites may be too small to locate separate recycling bins for each type of material.
This Section assumes the Owner intends a project with full waste management. If costs are a concern , another approach may be to use the bidding process by either requiring a plan as part of the required bid , or to provide a list of alternates for specific environmental practices, salvaged materials, materials with recycled content, etc.
SECTION 01505 — CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT
PART 1 — GENERAL
1.01 REQUIREMENTS
The Owner requires that this project 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 be used. Of the inevitable waste that is generated, reuse, salvage, or recycle as many of the waste materials as economically feasible. Minimize waste disposal in landfills.
1.02 SUBMITTALS
Within specify time frame after receipt of Notice of Award of Bid, or prior to any waste removal, whichever occurs sooner, submit to the Owner and Architect a Draft Waste Management Plan.
Within specify time frame after the Owner has determined which of the recycling options addressed in the Draft Waste Management Plan are acceptable, submit to the Owner and Architect a Final Waste Management Plan.
1.03 WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS
See appendix D of WasteSpec for a sample waste management plan which can be appended to project specifications. See also Demolition for Salvage and Reuse
Draft Waste Management Plan: The Draft Plan is to contain the following:
Analysis of the types and quantities of jobsite waste to be generated.
Alternatives to Landfilling: A list of each material proposed to be salvaged, reused, or recycled during the course of the Project, the proposed local market for each material, the basis for measurement and valuation, and the estimated net cost savings or additional costs resulting from separating and recycling(versus landfilling) each material.
The list of these materials is to include, at minimum, the following materials:
List below materials applicable to project and location. Add other materials relevant to local area. Examples may include drywall; plastic buckets; carpet and carpet pad trim; paint; asphalt roofing shingles; vinyl siding; plastic sheeting; and rigid foam insulation. See Construction Materials: Management and Markets,
Cardboard.
Clean dimensional wood.
Beverage containers.
Land clearing debris.
Concrete.
Bricks.
Concrete Masonry Units (CMU).
Asphalt.
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.
Landfill options: The name of the landfill(s) where trash will be disposed of, the applicable landfill tipping fee(s), and the projected cost of disposing of all Project waste in the landfill(s).
Resources for Development of Waste Management Plan : The following sources may be useful in developing the Draft Waste Management Plan:
Edit list of recycling resources below to suit project. Refer to Appendices A, B, C, and D of WasteSpec for resources to develop recycling worksheets and list of local markets specific to project.
Recycling Haulers and Markets: [Ref to Construction Materials: Management and Markets, A Resource Guide for Wisconsin Builders and Contractors][THE ATTACHED LIST] contains local haulers and markets for recyclable materials. This list is provided for information only and is not necessarily comprehensive; other haulers and markets are acceptable. For more information, contact [ at 608-.]
Final Waste Management Plan: The Final Waste Management Plan is to contain the following:
Analysis of the proposed jobsite waste to be generated, including types and quantities.
Alternatives to Landfilling: A list of the waste materials from the Project that will be separated for reuse, salvage, or recycling.
Landfill options: The name of the landfill(s) where trash will be disposed of, the applicable landfill tipping fee(s), and the projected cost of disposing of all Project waste in the landfill(s).
Materials Handling Procedures: A description of the means by which any waste materials identified above will be protected from contamination, and a description of the means to be employed in recycling the above materials consistent with requirements for acceptance by designated facilities.
Transportation: A description of the means of transportation of the recyclable materials(whether materials will be site-separated and self-hauled to designated centers, or whether mixed materials will be collected by a waste hauler and removed from the site) and destination of materials.
1.04 WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Manager: Designate an on-site party (or parties) responsible for instructing workers and overseeing and documenting results of the Waste Management Plan for the Project.
Depending on the size and complexity of the project, you may either designate a full time construction waste manager or assign responsibility the job supervisor or appropriate personnel.
Distribution: Distribute copies of the approved Waste Management Plan to the Job Site and each Subcontractor.
Instruction: Provide on-site instruction of appropriate separation, handling, and recycling, salvage, reuse, and return methods to be used by all parties at the appropriate stages of the Project.
Separation facilities: 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 neat and clean and clearly marked in order to avoid contamination of materials.
Hazardous wastes: Separate, store, and dispose of hazardous wastes according to local regulations.
Application for Progress Payments: Submit with each Application for Progress Payment a Summary of Waste Generated by the Project. Failure to submit this information shall render the Application for Payment incomplete and shall delay Progress Payment. The Summary shall be submitted on a form acceptable to the Owner and shall contain the following information:
• The amount (in tons or cubic yards) of material landfilled from the Project, the identity of the landfill, the total amount of tipping fees paid at the landfill, and the total disposal cost. Include manifests, weight tickets, receipt, and invoices.
• For each material recycled, reused, or salvaged from the Project, the amount (in tons or cubic yards), the date removed from the jobsite, 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 each material. Attach manifests, weight tickets, receipts, and invoices.
1.05 SPECIAL PROGRAMS
The Contractor shall be responsible for final implementation of programs involving tax credits or rebates or similar incentives related or returns shall accrue to the [CONTRACTOR] [OWNER]. Applicable programs are the following:
List applicable programs here.
The Contractor is responsible for obtaining information packets relevant to all of the above-listed programs prior to starting work on the Project.
The Contractor shall document work methods, recycled materials, and other items or processes that qualify for tax credits, rebates, and other savings under each of the above-listed programs.
