PGW seeks pickup and compliant disposal or recycling of Itron 40G ERTs

Philadelphia Gas Works is seeking a contractor to collect and arrange compliant disposal or recycling of inoperative Itron 40G ERTs. - Government buyer: Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW), Procurement; the RFQ names Renju M Kuruvilla. Work is based at PGW’s North Operations Center in Philadelphia. - OEMs and other named companies: Itron manufactures the 40G ERTs. Compatibility materials also name Elster American Meter; Sensus, Invensys, Equimeter, and Rockwell; National and Lancaster; Actaris; Schlumberger; Sprague; Dresser; Romet; American Meter; and Mercury Instruments. Measurement Controls of the Carolinas, LLC is identified as a prospective bidder, not an awardee. - Requested service: Arrange and document freight pickup, secure and transport the ERTs, assume custody after collection, and deliver them to a certified disposal or recycling facility for compliant handling. Quotes may be priced per ERT or per pound. - Estimated quantities: The pricing sheet lists 10,000 units for Year 1, 25,000 for Year 2, and up to 55,000 annually for Years 3–5. The initial summary gives a Year 1 estimate of 10,000–15,000 units. These are estimates, not guaranteed volumes. - Handling and compliance: PGW prepares marked boxes on pallets, roughly 2,000 ERTs and about 700 lb per pallet. Pickups are required within 30 days after notice that material is available. The contractor must secure pallets, maintain applicable permits, comply with relevant environmental and transportation rules, and provide specified insurance, including pollution liability coverage. Performance and labor/material bonds are required before purchase-order issuance. - Term and pricing: One-year initial term with four additional one-year renewal options. Prices must remain firm for each contract year; there is no minimum work guarantee. - Related product literature: Itron’s 40GB Gas ERT module specification describes a gas-meter endpoint, but the procurement requests disposal of inoperative 40G ERTs, not new modules.
