Proposal for Incorporating Recycled Materials into the Project
In compliance with RCW 70A.205.700,the Bidder shall propose below,the total percent of
construction aggregate and concrete materials to be incorporated into the Project that are
recycled materials. Calculated percentages must be within the amounts allowed in Section
9-03.21(1)E,Table on Maximum Allowable Percent(By Weight)of Recycled Material,of the
Standard Specifications.
Proposed total percentage: percent.
Note: Use of recycled materials is highly encouraged within the limits shown above,but does
not constitute a Bidder Preference, and will not affect the determination of award, unless two or
more lowest responsive Bid totals are exactly equal,in which case proposed recycling
percentages will be used as a tie-breaker,per the APWA GSP in Section f-03.1 of the Special
Provisions. Regardless,the Bidder's stated proposed percentages will become a goal the
Contractor should do its best to accomplish. Bidders will be required to report on recycled
materials actually incorporated into the Project, in accordance with the APWA GSP in Section
