THE WINNING BIDDER AGREES THAT ONLY THE STATED WEIGHT (500,000 LBS.) IS INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION. ANY MATERIAL REMOVED BEYOND THIS AMOUNT WILL BE CHARGED AS OVERAGE AT THE SAME BID PRICE RATE.

All transport vehicles sent by winning bidders to our facility at 10101 S. Stony Island to pick up scrap materials will be weighed upon entry to establish a tare weight prior to removal of any scrap. It is the responsibility of the winning bidder to know the tare weight of the transport vehicles prior to weigh-in at our facility and identify (to City personnel) any discrepancies between these two weights prior to removal of any materials.

Once winning bidders’ transport vehicles that have been loaded with scrap exit the City facility, it will have been deemed that they have accepted the weights of materials removed. No disputes concerning weight will be accepted pursuant to the winning bidders’ removal of scrap or other weighed materials from the City’s facility.
