choose not to utilize this recycling method. The other method is <br />source separation during mechanical demolition procedures, and is <br />the standard practice for most demolition work. This procedure <br />allows salvage of the most practical elements in the recycling <br />markets while minimizing time to complete the demolition project. <br />Due to time constraints for this job, this is will be the method <br />which we will utilize on this project. <br />More specifically, we will recycle dimensional lumber for <br />resale in the building construction industry. We will also recycle <br />all of the concrete and brick in to a local State ODOT highway <br />project. This concrete and brick material will be incorporated as <br />structural fill under Interstate 5. In addition, we will recycle all <br />copper, aluminum, steel and rebar (which will be separated from <br />the concrete with a mechanical concrete crusher). Asphalt will be <br />recycled at a local asphalt plant. <br />We will also attempt to recycle some quantities of carpet, <br />carpet padding, glass and sheet rock, by contacting known <br />recyclers of these materials in the Salem and Portland markets. <br />Depending on market conditions, these attempts are usually <br />approximately 25%-60% successful. 100% recycling of these <br />materials can be accomplished but at significant additional cost. If <br />you wish to consider this alternate we would be pleased to <br />prepare a price alternate to accomplish it. <br />An estimated recycling quantity summary is attached as per <br />bid requirements. <br />BASEMENT WALL BRACING <br />Basement walls left in place will be braced utilizing on site <br />crushed concrete and brick rubble under the direction and <br />supervision of Mr. Dennis McGee, P.E. of Corvallis, OR. <br />Requirements and intent of the specification will be met, written <br />and submitted with Mr. McGees' seal for your approval prior to <br />implementation. There are other alternatives to accomplish this <br />task, but this particular method is the most cost effective by a <br />significant margin. <br />One alternative to bracing is to remove the sidewalks, <br />remove approximately 1/2 of the height of the basements walls <br />and slope the remaining bank to this halfway point.
