Transcript

Request for Proposals for the Management of Drums and Totes in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada Issued: Monday, August 8, 2016 INTRODUCTION The CleanFARMS Organization CleanFARMS Inc is a federally registered not-for-profit organization and is funded by companies that produce and/or market pesticides and fertilizers for use by farmers across Canada. Since 1989, CleanFARMS has managed an empty pesticide container and residual pesticide recycling program across Canada. Recycling markets have continued to evolve since the program’s beginning and there are now a significant number of products that can be produced using recycled plastics. However, for purposes of accountability for these products, the plastic can only be used in products that are approved by CleanFARMS. Currently, the majority of the plastic collected in Canada by CleanFARMS is made into thin-walled drainage pipe. Invitation to Proponents This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is an invitation to prospective processors (Proponents) to submit proposals for the provision of contracting services to collect, transport and process empty commercial pesticide containers in one or all of the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island) for one-way (nondeposit) containers greater than 23 litres in size. The detailed scope of required services (“the Deliverables”) is described in this document. 1 Contract for Deliverables 1.3.1. The successful Proponent(s) will be required to enter into a contractual agreement(s) with CleanFARMS for the provision of the Deliverables. 1.3.2. This Agreement shall commence on March 1, 2017 and continue until December 31, 2017, unless extended pursuant to (i) below. i. CleanFARMS shall have the option at its sole discretion, to extend this Agreement for four (4) additional one year periods by written notice to Contractor not less than sixty days prior to expiry of the then-current term. ii. The total term of this Agreement shall not extend beyond December 31, 2022. 1.3.3. A Proponent who submits conditions, options or variations to the terms set out in the RFP, either as part of its proposal or after receiving notice of selection, may be disqualified. 1.3.4. Proposals shall be irrevocable for sixty (60) days following close of bidding and shall be retained by CleanFARMS. 1.3.5. The laws of the Province of Ontario shall apply to this Request for Proposals and any contract formed as a result of this Request for Proposals, and the Courts of Ontario shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any contract formed as a result of this Request for Proposals. Documents The following documents are to be read as part of this Request for Proposals: APPENDIX 1 APPENDIX 2 APPENDIX 3 APPENDIX 4 APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 6 Process Guidelines Best Practice Guide (Separate) Container Management HS&E Standard for Field Contractors Annual Field Contract Audit Pricing Schedule List of collection sites in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada BACKGROUND INFORMATION Historical Container Collection Volumes CleanFARMS’ annual sales survey indicates that approximately 11,800 one-way (non-deposit) drums and totes of pesticide products were delivered to distribution centres in Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada) for sale to farms in 2015. Of those containers, about 10,900 were 225 litres in size or smaller. In addition to the containers that are distributed each year, there are containers which remain on farms in Canada that have not been returned and will be returned at some time in the future. 2 It is estimated that approximately 7,100 containers are available for collection in Ontario, 3,000 in Quebec and 1,800 in Atlantic Canada each year. This collection data is provided to Proponents for reference purposes only and CleanFARMS does not guarantee what quantities of containers will be available for collection in future years. SCOPE OF WORK General Requirements The ‘Process Guidelines’ describes those things that the contractor would be responsible for delivering, broken down into the following areas: • • • • • Program Infrastructure Communications Regulatory Management Container Collection  General Collection and Dealer Site Requirements  Documentation and Reporting Processing  General  Processing Plastic and Metal Container Standards  Waste Collection and Disposal  Material Transportation  Material Storage  Safety Practices  Program Containers Proponents should be aware that, during the life of the new contract(s), CleanFARMS will expect contractors to consistently meet high standards of service delivery in a number of key areas, specifically: • • • • • Timely collection of material at sites; That containers which include pesticide wastes are not collected; All plastic shred will be expected to meet the requirements as described in the Process Guidelines; Where applicable, adherence to shredding requirements, as described in the Process Guidelines; and, Contractors will be expected to meet all CleanFARMS reporting requirements as described in the RFP and the Process Guidelines; 3.1.1. Proposed Service and Additional Service Proposals All Proponents must provide pricing, in the format provided, for picking up containers at participating retail sites. Contractor must ensure that after the plastic has undergone washing 3 and shredding that it does not exceed the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) standards for measurable leachable pesticides. Shredded plastic containers must be prepared for delivery to the end recycler in a shredded, bagged format, which ensures that the maximum legal trailer weight for shipping the plastic to the recycler can be achieved without double-stacking or in a way that is protected from spillage. The maximum load weight for a 53’ trailer is 20,400 Kgs. Health and Safety Standards and Requirements CleanFARMS has developed a Best Practices Guide for protecting the health and safety of workers and the environment as well as a container management health, safety and environmental standard for field contractors. CleanFARMS and provincial health, safety and environmental standards must be adhered to at all times.

Contingency plans for managing seasonal increases in container pickups and how rapidly these plans can be executed to ensure that customer service standards are maintained. What is the capacity of the Proponents transportation and processing system on a seasonal and monthly basis. The process design for the shredding and washing of the bulk containers, including a detailed description of how the contractor will verify that the washing process ensures that the plastic shred does not exceed CEPA leachate standards. Contractors must also indicate how containers will be dismantled and destroyed and how the health and safety of staff will be maintained during this process. Report/form templates for how information will be collected and/or reported to CleanFARMS. 7 Pricing At a minimum, Proponent must provide pricing for the collection, transportation and processing of materials in at least one province/region of Ontario, Quebec or Atlantic Canada. It would be advantageous to prospective Proponents to provide as broad range of services, to as many provinces as possible, for consideration. Transportation costs must include and factor in any upcoming changes by Environment Canada, and also provincial authorities, to legislation governing the provincial and transboundary movement of recyclable materials. Proponents are required to complete the attached Pricing Schedule and submit it as part of their proposals. Please note that CleanFARMS is responsible for all of the following costs: • • • Renting or leasing of additional space for the storage of shredded plastic if required and as set out in the Process Guidelines; Disposal of un-rinsed liquid container residue wastes at a hazardous treatment facility acceptable to CleanFARMS; Transportation of liquid wastes to the hazardous wastes treatment facility to a maximum of $45.00 per 205 litre drum for residue waste generated Contractor is responsible for the following costs • • • Supply of pallets and bags (supersacks); Supply of drums for storage of liquid wastes; Handling, management, transportation and disposal of liquid wastes generated from the washing of containers, at an approved hazardous waste treatment facility acceptable to CleanFARMS; A fuel surcharge, based on the average monthly diesel price in major cities across Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada (Table 326-0009) between January 2015 and June 2016, will be paid monthly over and above a base price of 106.5¢/litre. All ¢/L fuel rates will be calculated on an ex-GST basis. 5.6.1. This will be calculated and paid at a rate of ¾¢ per pound of net incoming scaled weight of plastic, for every ‘full’ 10 cent increase (in average monthly diesel fuel prices) per litre over the base price of 107.2¢ /Litre. Fuel price differentials of less than 10¢ per litre will not qualify for a fuel surcharge adjustment payment. The amount of the fuel surcharge of ¾¢ per pound, includes all applicable taxes. Evaluation of Proposals Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of both pricing and the quality of the information presented by Proponents. Therefore, Proponents are strongly encouraged to review and 8 understand CleanFARMS’ requirements for their proposals since they will be evaluated with the following in mind: • Has the Proponent demonstrated that it understands what CleanFARMS expects from its contractors with respect to the delivery of all required services? • Has the Proponent clearly demonstrated that it has the experience, the capacity and the knowledge to deliver the services in the province for which it has submitted pricing? • Has the Proponent demonstrated that it is has a plan for meeting CleanFARMS customer service and product quality requirements? • Has the Proponent demonstrated that it understands CleanFARMS HS&E standards and is committed to meeting these standards, at a minimum, during the contract period? 9 Request for Proposal - Terms and Conditions Respondents must ensure that their participation in this RFP process is conducted fairly and without collusion and/or fraud.

Program Infrastructure 1.1. The Bulk Container Management Program (Program) involves the collection/consolidation, transportation, storage, decanting/cleaning and shredding, of empty commercial pesticide bulk one way containers and associated liquid residues. 1.2. Pesticide Containers: Pesticide containers include drums (>23 Litres) and intermediate bulk containers (IBC’s or totes), composed of metal and/or HDPE that are marked ‘COMMERCIAL’ and carries a Pest Control Product (PCP) number and are used for crop protection services, turf management and other vegetative management purposes. 1.3. Collection will occur at dealer sites, distribution sites or other location as approved by CleanFARMS. 1.4. CleanFARMS reserves the right to add additional collection sites (Designated Sites) under the terms of the Contract, without additional cost beyond the incremental charge per pound (or per unit) of materials collected. This could include pickup at large farm locations (custom applicators, etc.) that meet the minimum pickup quantity. 1.5. Currently bulk fertilizer containers and non-CleanFARMS member pesticide containers are excluded from the Program, however, should a request for the collection of bulk fertilizer/non-member containers be received, the same pricing schedule shall apply pending CleanFARMS approval for collection. 1 The following activities and services are required for the processing of plastic and metal, one-way empty commercial pesticide containers of >23 Litres capacity. 2. Communications 2.1. Effective operation of the Program requires cooperation between Contractor and CleanFARMS, and between Contactor and Designated Sites. Contractor shall ensure that there are good communications with all participants to maintain smooth operation of the Program. 2.2. Contractor shall support the goals of the Program, for increasingly higher container recovery rates and cleaner containers, in its communications to Designated Sites. 2.3. Contractor shall provide a person to : i. ii. iii. iv. be responsible for communications with collection sites; log all pickup requests received from collection sites; supervise the removal and transport of containers from collection sites; and, manage the required data from collected containers, including brand names, container data, generator data and residual container waste content. 2.4. Contractor shall provide a toll free telephone service to be available during business hours for communication with collection sites and other stakeholders that is manually staffed and not attended solely by voicemail, except during closed hours. 2.5. Contractor shall supply Program status reports to CleanFARMS on request. Contractor shall also provide a written report in electronic format, within 2 weeks after each yearending December 31. 2.5.1 The year-end and status reports shall indicate: • • • • The number of containers, Manufacturer and product name, and the sizes of these containers collected from the Designated Sites; o Size and quantity of containers required on a per site basis. The weight of plastic collected and shredded; a documented summary of general site concerns, issues, communications and feedback relevant to the success of the Program; the volume of liquid residual waste collected from containers prior to washing. The Proponent acknowledges that CleanFARMS is in the process of developing an electronic request, tracking and material management system that the Proponent will be required to use this system upon implementation. This system will aid in the development of the reports itemized in Section 2.5. 2 3. Regulatory Management 3.1 Contractor is fully responsible for ensuring that all of their regulatory reporting requirements are met and all conditions of their operating licenses and permits are adhered to at all times. 3.2 Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the insurance required in this RFP is in place and in full effect at all times during the term of this contract. 3.3 Contractor shall ensure that all waste including recyclables are managed according to the required federal and provincial regulations: from pickup at the sites, through to final disposal. 4. Container Collection 4.1. General Collection and Dealer Site Requirements Contractor shall cooperate with each collection site to ensure that all bulk containers as defined under this RFP are picked up and removed to the satisfaction of the collection sites and in conformance with the terms of the Contract. Contractor is fully responsible for any contamination of the environment or damage to the collection site resulting from the Contractor’s operations. Contractor is to provide dismantling, shredding and crushing services at a location, approved by CleanFARMS, for which Contractor is fully in control of, and responsible for all aspects; including the site, storage, clean-up, proper disposal of booklets/caps/rubber seals/drip tubes/bung caps and all metal, reclamation, remediation and all other associated costs. Contractor shall ensure that containers are removed from the collection site in accordance with the Contract. All pickups must be scheduled and completed within 15 business days (or 21 calendar days) from the date of notification to the Contractor that a pick-up is required, for a minimum of 15 containers. 4.2. Documentation and Reporting Contractor shall ensure that written documentation is maintained that records and tracks the following data items: On a per site basis: a. Generator site name and date; b. Container information including; size and count On a consolidated basis: 3 a. Container information including: Size, quantity, manufacturer, and product name (eg. XYZ Chemicals Inc. 25 x 205 litre plastic drum), and; b. Liquid residual waste volume received. 5. Processing 5.1. General CleanFARMS retains title only for the plastic that is sent for recycling. Contractor retains title to any waste products that are produced and sent for disposal. A guide to the material types for containers typically handled, is as follows. This should only be used as a guideline and cannot be construed as a guarantee. i. ii. iii. Drum Containers – HDPE and/or metal with rubber gaskets IBCs – HDPE bottles which may have metal cages, with Polypropylene valves and a variety of rubber gaskets Bungs/Caps – metal, polypropylene and/or HDPE, with rubber gaskets CleanFARMS requires that the Contractor only removes containers from collection sites which have been triple or pressure-rinsed, or have less than 1” of liquid remaining inside, thereby qualifying for the definition of “Empty, Residue Last Contained”. Injection molded, rotational molded, blow molded and cross-linked plastics need to be kept in separate streams and identified as such when being sent for recycling. Contractor shall ensure all residual liquids are removed from containers, and containers are rinsed, prior to shredding and washing. Bulking of liquid residues is not allowed to occur at collection sites. 5.2. Processing Plastic and Metal Container Standards 5.2.1 Plastic components of containers are to be shredded into pieces small enough to pass through a wire screen with a maximum of 3/4 inch square openings. CleanFARMS would consider it preferable to receive the processed plastic material in a shredded size capable of passing through a 3/8” wire screen. 5.2.2 All metal from plastic containers and crushed, triple rinsed, metal drums and IBC frames are to be recycled through a recycling channel, approved by CleanFARMS. 5.2.3 Contractor is to remove all booklets, valves, gaskets/seals, drip tubes, bung caps and other non-HDPE plastic items prior to shredding. All valves, drip tubes, bung caps and other non-HDPE plastic is to be discarded as waste. Any of these items which are HDPE, may be shredded if clean. 4 5.2.4 Contractor shall shred the containers in such a manner that keeps the production of stringers (i.e. longer pieces of plastic) as close to zero as possible. CleanFARMS’ objective is to have as close to zero ‘stringer’s in the final shredded product as possible since they produce processing problems for recyclers and, as such, lower sale prices for the plastic shreds. ‘Penalties’ for the presence of stringers may be applied equivalent to the cost of the quality downgrade received by CleanFARMS from its end market. It is not the intention of CleanFARMS to apply penalties for the presence of any stringers unless their presence lowers the sale price of the plastic. 5.2.5 Shredded plastic is to be placed in bulk bags that are suitable for transportation, designed to prevent spillage of material and sealed to prevent entry/egress of water. A polywoven super sack, with suitable polyethylene film liner, is acceptable for this purpose. Bags shall be suitably large such that they can maximize the load of a transport truck when loaded onto a truck without double stacking, or otherwise protected from spillage. Bulk bags are to be large enough to facilitate filling the bags securely and being able to maximize the weight of one truck for shipping (approximately 20,400 kg of shredded plastic). 5.2.6 The shredding operation must be conducted in a manner consistent with the Health, Safety & Environment Standards and in conformance with all of the Contractor's provincial licenses and approvals. 5.3 Waste Collection and Disposal 5.3.1 All drainable liquid shall be removed from the containers and stored in approved containers in a way that ensures all spills and drips from the original containers are cleaned up immediately after any drip or spill. 5.3.2 All waste paper, caps, booklets, rubber gaskets and any other peripheral wastes associated with containers is to be disposed of, at Contractor cost, at a landfill or recycling site as is appropriate to the materials’ best end of life management practices. 5.3.3 Container residue or other readily drainable liquids, ice and any other waste materials must be removed from containers and collected for disposal, prior to shredding. 5.3.4 The volume of drainable liquid collected from containers is to be recorded and reported as required by CleanFARMS. 5.3.5 All drainable waste is to be disposed of at a hazardous waste treatment facility acceptable to CleanFARMS. 5 5.3.6 Contractor shall be responsible for Costs and arrangements for transportation, storage and disposal of all liquid wastes, subject to reimbursement criteria, as follows: 5.3.6.1 CleanFARMS shall reimburse Contractor for the cost, without markup, of disposal of “container residue” liquid wastes at a CleanFARMS approved hazardous waste treatment facility and for the cost of transportation per the amounts specified in this document. 5.3.6.2 The Contractor will be fully responsible for all costs related to the production, collection and disposal of container washing wastes and is not entitled to reimbursement from CleanFARMS for these costs. Contractor must dispose of these wastes at an approved hazardous waste treatment facility or in another manner as approved by CleanFARMS. 5.4 Material Transportation 5.4.1 Contractor is responsible for all loading and unloading of their vehicles. It should not be expected that the collection site will be able to provide assistance except for totes requiring a forklift. 5.4.2 Contractor shall be responsible for the costs, safety aspects, manifesting and arrangements for transportation of plastic and metal containers from collection sites to the storage and processing facility, as deemed acceptable by CleanFARMS. 5.4.3 Contractor shall cooperate with the end recycling facilities to schedule the arrival of truckloads of shredded plastic as required for the continuous operation of the plants. 5.4.4 Contractor must adhere to all applicable Acts, Regulations and legislation, including, but not limited to those issued by Environment Canada (inclusive of any regulatory changes), Transport Canada -Transportation of Dangerous Goods, and any other laws, rules and regulations governing the handling and management of these recyclable materials as issued by Federal, Provincial/State and Local authorities. 5.5 Material Storage 5.5.1 Contractor shall provide suitable, temporary storage meeting the Health, Safety & Environment Standards at its facility (or facilities), for empty containers, plastic shreds, metal containers, and liquid wastes requiring further processing or transfer to other locations for recycling or disposal, at all times. 5.5.2 All containers shall be stored in an ‘upright’ condition. Any container that does not have its original cover/bung for all openings shall be stored in a covered location to prevent any precipitation (rain, snow or ice pellets) from entering any opening in the container. 5.5.3 All material (shredded plastic, liquid wastes, etc.) shall be stored in appropriate packaging and clearly labelled. 6 5.5.4 All shredded plastic shall be stored in sealed bags in a covered location to prevent any precipitation (rain, snow or ice pellets) from the stored material. 5.5.5 All liquid wastes designated as a hazardous material shall be stored with secondary containment to prevent leakage to the area surrounding the system. 5.5.6 In the event that the amount of stored plastic should exceed the capacity of the Contractor’s designated site(s), Contractor and CleanFARMS shall work together to find suitable alternative, short-term storage that meets the Health, Safety & Environment Standards and for which CleanFARMS shall reimburse Contractor for rent or leasing expenses at cost. 5.5.7 Contractor shall be responsible for all aspects of storage facilities including insurance, costs, leasing arrangements, approval, improvements, transportation, inspection, reclamation and remediation. 5.6 Safety Practices 5.6.1 Contractor shall conduct all aspects of the Program in a manner to protect the health and safety of its employees while handling pesticide or fertilizer residues and other work related risks; and, at a minimum, shall meet Health, Safety & Environment Standards. Contractor should reference the attached “Best Practices for Protecting Health & Safety of Workers and the Environment” as a guideline to provide assistance in meeting such standards. 7 5.7 Program Containers Eligible Program containers are limited to one-way (non-deposit) pesticide containers only, belonging to CleanFARMS member companies. All >23 Litre pesticide containers collected at dealer sites are expected to be managed by the Contractor through the Program. Program containers may take, but are not limited to, the form as depicted in the following pictures. Picture 1 - IBCs Picture 1 – 205 Litre Drums 8 Picture 3 – metal 205 Litre Drum APPENDIX 3 Container Management HSE Standard for Field Contractors 1. SCOPE This standard applies to all work performed in relation to the collection and recycle of crop protection product containers in Canada and includes small containers (23 litres and less) and bulk containers (drums and totes). Contractor is expected to comply with this standard whether the work is performed on behalf of a registrant of a pesticide product (“Registrant”) or for CleanFARMS. All plastic produced from this activity is to be sold to CleanFARMS for controlled end-use recycling or incinerated on behalf of the Registrant. This standard should be read in conjunction with “Best Practices for Protecting Health & Safety of Workers and the Environment” 2. CENTRAL SHREDDING OF COLLECTED CONTAINERS 2.1.
