Summary
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is soliciting bids for on-call collection, removal, and recycling of ferrous and non‑ferrous scrap metal and aluminum from specified Caltrans maintenance stations in Humboldt and Mendocino counties. The contractor must supply lockable, weather‑proof containers, respond to collection requests within two business days, transport scrap to a state‑certified recycling facility, weigh each load and retain certified weight tickets, and submit monthly tonnage and pricing reports. Compensation is handled via a revenue‑share model where the contractor retains the portion of scrap sale proceeds after Caltrans receives its statutory share; the procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB), not a grant.
