Acceptance and Recycling of the City of Allentown's Scrap Metal

The City of Allentown is seeking vendors to accept and recycle various types of scrap metal from the City's facilities and residents. The contract will be awarded to one or more vendors, and the City reserves the right to enter into separate contracts for different types of scrap metal. The vendors will be required to provide a state-certified scale to weigh the scrap metal and to properly certify Freon removal from appliances. The contract will be based on a percentage of the Consumer Buying Price for each type of scrap metal, as quoted in the American Metal Market (AMM) pricing sheets. • The City will deliver the scrap metal to the vendor's facility using roll-off containers, tractor-trailers, flat bed trailers, dump trucks, and/or pick-up trucks. • The vendor will be required to accept Freon appliances from the City and properly certify Freon removal to meet EPA compliance. • The contract will be for a fixed term, but the duration is not specified in the document. • The City will pay the vendor based on the percentage of the metal value, as specified in the contract.
