Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) expects to generate approximately 120,000 lbs. of high-grade steel alloy turnings, which may include a small percentage of brass, copper, Inconel, aluminum and stainless steel mixed in to this scrap metal, to be sold and removed from the facility.

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 chips are put into a shed for the cutting fluids to drain out and then lifted into a roll off dumpster.  WVA will notify the Contractor when chips are ready for removal. The Contractor shall send a roll off box, which will be loaded by the WVA.  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 5 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 (Lauren Scripps) with scrap pick up form. If actual weight of scrap is less or more than 120,000 lbs., the Government will issue a credit or additional invoice to vendor via pay.gov, that shall be paid within 5 days of receipt. 

The contractor is responsible for safely and efficiently securing the steel prior to removing from the WVA.  WVA does possess equipment and can assist in the loading of the steel; WVA employees only to operate Government owned equipment.
