Western Washington University seeks a vendor to decommission, remove, recover, and responsibly dispose of its legacy PBX telecommunications equipment. The contractor must handle all aspects of assessment, planning, safe removal, transportation, asset recovery (reuse, refurbishment, resale), and environmentally‑responsible recycling or disposal of non‑recoverable components, including batteries and hazardous materials. The university aims to achieve the project at no direct cost by offsetting expenses with recovered asset value, while ensuring safety, compliance, and thorough documentation of the disposition process.
• Conduct on‑site inventory validation and develop a detailed removal and logistics plan.
• Safely disconnect, dismantle, transport, and dispose of PBX systems, remote fiber units, power equipment, and related hardware.
• Maximize asset recovery through resale/refurbishment before recycling; provide full disposition reports and certifications.
• Comply with all environmental, hazardous‑material, and safety regulations; restore sites to a clean condition.
• Submit a financial proposal that demonstrates how the project will be cost‑neutral to WWU, detailing expected recovery value and any potential costs.
