The Freon Recycling Contractor will provide the Authority an itemized list of the number and type of appliances that freon was recovered from, certificates of disposal (or recycling) for all freon material collected from those units, the type of freon material collected from each unit, and other information and documentation as required by law. Once freon is removed from each unit, the Contractor will clearly label the unit as having had its freon removed. The Contractor will invoice the Authority within 30 days of each freon recovery event.
Bid Terms: Bidders will provide the Authority a unit cost bid for each appliance from which freon is recovered. This unit bid cost (cost per appliance) will be all inclusive of all mobilization, materials, labor, permits, fees, insurances, etc.
