York County Solid Waste Authority awards contracts for $62 million project



The York County Solid Waste Authority recently awarded four prime site-improvement contracts worth more than $46 million.

The contracts were awarded to Quandel Construction Group Inc., general construction, $32.72 million; H.B. McClure Co., HVAC, $6.77 million; Jay R. Reynolds Inc., plumbing/fire protection, $1.1 million; and Gettle Inc., electrical, $5.64 million.


The authority will break ground later this year on facility improvements to its Black Bridge Road campus, including modernization of the York County Resource Recovery Center, both in Manchester Township.

“Facility site improvements and modernization will enhance operational performance, extend the life of the RRC, enhance site safety and increase services to York County residents," authority Executive Director Dave Vollero said in a news release.

The construction phase of the project is expected to begin this spring and will include improvements such as expansion of the tipping floor and waste storage pit; wastewater effluent reuse; new boiler water treatment system; reconfiguration of site roadways and relocation of vehicle scales; stormwater management and reuse; relocation of the public recycling drop-off center; a new education center, maintenance shop/warehouse and a “convenience center” for public waste disposal.

Construction is expected to take up to three years. The authority is paying for the $62 million project from its capital reserve fund and a $10 million bank loan approved by the board in 2014, the release said.

The authority owns 150 acres along Black Bridge Road, with the current facility taking up 22 acres. The site-improvement construction activities will be conducted on an additional 27.5 acres within the existing property.
