The contractor will be expected to process between 15,000 and 20,000 tons of material within two months of being asked by the Town to mobilize. The bid price shall be binding until May 31, 2025, and may be renewed annually by mutual agreement for subsequent one year periods for up to 4 more years (i.e. up to May 31, 2029.) If agreed to by the Bedford Commissioner of Public Works, pricing adjustments will be allowed based upon the Consumer Price Index (CPI) that is in effect on the Anniversary Dates of the Annual Contract (i.e. pricing would be updated annually on May 31 based upon the CPI in effect on May 31 for the years 2026 through 2029.) The specific quantity to be processed this year will be determined based on projected needs and unit price for processing. It is important that the work be completed in a prompt manner in order to minimize disruption to the Crusher Road facility and to the abutting neighborhood. Therefore, interested responsive and responsible vendors shall have the ability to furnish to the Towns of Bedford’s work site on Crusher road, equipment capable of processing at least 800 tons per day. The vendor shall complete the work without interruption in schedule, and shall process at least 3,000 tons of material per week. As such, interested vendors are asked to provide per ton rates for all Recycled Item #4 Crushed Gravel produced (the per-ton price quotation will include contractor expenses for all equipment, labor, and supplies used, including grading a staging and processing area as necessary.) The perton price quoted shall also include: - Any expenses for all machinery that could break down. - Necessary equipment / vehicle operators - Unloading and set up of all affiliated processing equipment (as well as removal of said equipment at the end of the contract.) - Transit of equipment and labor to and from the work site at Crusher Road in Bedford Village. - Processing and removal of all unusable debris generated. This includes screening and otherwise sorting through processed material to remove sticks and other trash (i.e. non mineral / masonry crushed material that makes up the finished product.) - Procurement of necessary county and state permits (such as noise permits and affiliated environmental permits as may be required), including a Westchester County Rock Crushing Equipment Permit. Copies of permits must be provided to the Town prior to starting work.
