1.0 INTENT:
The Intent of this contract is to provide Maricopa County the following recycling services on a demand
basis: office paper; cardboard; comingled office recycling; appliances; automotive materials; lighting
ballasts; batteries (all types); cloth; computer equipment; electronics; foam; furniture; ink & toner; lamps;
paper products; plastic; scrap metal; Styrofoam; wood pallets; writing instruments; other products as
determined.
The purpose is to establish a list of qualified Contractors for each Area of Service (AOS) to provide
products and/or services as defined therein. Multiple awards (list of qualified Contractors) shall be made
by AOS based on the evaluation factors in this solicitation.
At the time a specific requirement within an AOS is identified, a request for Task Order and a detailed
Scope of Work (SOW) will be issued to each Contractor qualified for that AOS. Award(s) shall be made to
the Contractor best meeting the specifications and offering the lowest price.
Should any project be declared an Emergency Procurement, the provisions of Section MC1-345 and MC1-
346 shall prevail in the determination of Award. At the County’s option, work under $25,000.00 may be
assigned to a contractor without competition.
The County reserves the right to add additional contractors, at the County’s sole discretion, in cases where
the currently listed contractors are of an insufficient number or skill-set to satisfy the County’s needs or to
ensure adequate competition on any Project or Task Order work.
2.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS OF ALL SERVICES:
Following are general requirements, which may be required in a Task Order Scope of Work (SOW)
common to all Areas of Service, which are defined in Attachment D. Contractors understand and agree that
they will abide by all conditions established in this ITN for the applicable Area(s) of Service for which they
are approved and listed.
2.1 HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAM:
The Contractor shall have an existing health and safety program which shall comply with all
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, reference Title 29 Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 1910, 29 CFR 1910.120, and/or 29 CFR 1926.1101 as applicable) and
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards (including the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and/or Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA)), and any other applicable federal, state and/or local laws, rules,
regulations, and ordinances.
2.2 TASK ORDERS (PROJECTS):
2.2.1 Using Agency Scope of Work Format And Submittal:
The Using Agencies shall submit an initial Task Order SOW, which shall include, as a
minimum, the following:
 Project area description
 Schedule for completion
 Deliverables
 Variables and assumptions
 Acceptance criteria
 Reporting requirements
 Project objectives

SERIAL 170011-ITN
2.2.2 Using Agencies shall solicit initial Task Order responses from all Contractors listed as
qualified within the specific Area(s) of Service. However, there may be those special
circumstances whereby such solicitation is impractical (i.e., continuity of services by
same Contractor). In this case, a written determination shall be placed in the Project file
detailing the extent that competitive offers were solicited.
2.2.3 Innovative Technical Approaches:
Included in the Task Order response, submitted in response to the Using Agency’s SOW,
the Contractor is encouraged to offer any innovative technical approaches and/or cost
efficient alternatives that could achieve the objectives of the SOW. The Task Order
response shall describe the relative merits of the innovative approach and provide clear
and convincing evidence that the alternative meets or exceeds all relevant specifications
required by the original SOW.

All work shall be coordinated through the Using Agencies Project Manager or Project
Coordinator. If required by the Using Agency, the Project Manager or Project

necessary.
2.3 INVOICES AND PAYMENTS:
2.3.1 Contractors may submit monthly invoices, or for an alternative billing cycle, during the

invoices.
2.3.3 Additional charges for accounting, invoicing, payroll preparation, and invoice related

Task Order response, etc., are considered an indirect cost and therefore not billable as a
separate item. Additional charges to correct and resubmit an invoice are not a billable
charge.
2.3.4 Payment(s) shall not be construed to be an acceptance of defective work or improper
material.
2.3.5 Maricopa County shall not be obligated to make final payment until the Contractor has
delivered to the Using Agency a Certificate of Recycling.
