BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Solid Waste and Recycling Division is committed to providing a safe, economical, and environmentally sensitive waste disposal facility for the citizens and businesses of Gaston County that meets or exceeds all applicable regulations. Consistent with the NC Solid Waste Management Rules (15A-NCAC-138), Gaston County is continuing to expand its current landfill site in compliance with Federal Subtitle D regulations which became effective on January 1, 1998. Periodic cell construction is necessary to provide a location to meet the disposal demands of Gaston County. The next landfill cell to be built is Unit III. The Division recently completed another construction project that was required prior to this cell construction. The construction bid for Unit III Cell Construction was publicly advertised on May 9, 2023, in the Charlotte Observer, HUBSCO, the Gaston County website and Duncan Parnell. A mandatory pre-bid was held at the site on May 23, 2023. Sealed bids were scheduled to be publicly opened on June 29, 2023. Due to an insufficient number of bids received, the bids were not opened on the originally scheduled date. The project was re-advertised publicly on July 2, 2023, and the bids were received on July 11, 2023, with the following results:
