City staff will follow the Sustainable Procurement Policy to start including specific waste diversion goals in 2025.

To reduce the amount of waste landfilled from City and LURA construction projects, this strategy aims to establish a waste diversion target for all contractors to commit to achieving to be awarded the project.

Description

To meet this strategy, Purchasing staff are working with project managers to incorporate more waste recovery, reuse and recycling into the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. Purchasing, project managers, and CAO have completed a draft update to the Construction General Conditions and Contracts. Due to the broad scope of construction projects covered by the General Conditions, the group agreed it would be most appropriate to add specific goals in each project's Special Conditions. These requirements should be compatible with the overall Sustainable Procurement Policy and Sustainability Standards.
