Bohan Pauline Juliano A joint effort by four area towns is expected to result in substantial savings in solid waste disposal costs. The municipalities involved are now assessing their options before awarding contracts that would go into effect June 1. Under the leadership of Waldwick Borough Administrator Gary Kratz, Ramsey, Midland Park and Glen Rock, as well as Waldwick, jointly bid a contract for garbage disposal earlier this month and received a bid of $64 a ton. That is $18 a ton less than Waldwick currently pays to the Bergen County Utilities Authority for the service and $4 a ton less than the bid the BCUA itself got only two days earlier from the same contractor. Waldwick alone stands to save $90,000 a year, Kratz said. Midland Park, which now pays the BCUA $79 a ton for the 3,000 tons collected each year, would stand to save $45,000 with the new bid. “Our responsibility is to our residents, and we were able to achieve a better deal than the county,” Kratz said. “I am not certain of the reasons. Perhaps something in the county specs that I didn’t have in ours enabled us to get a cheaper price,” he said. Totowa-based Veolia Environmental Service was the lowest of four bidders for the ﬁrst year of the three-year Borough could save on disposal contract. That price would rise to $64.74 per ton in the second year and $65.50 for the third year of the contract. The administrator explained that the original thought for bidding independently of the BCUA was that New York State contractors would be interested in towns closer to their transfer station and would turn in lower prices. As it was, Kratz said, only one New York company bid, and it was not the low bidder. The contract speciﬁes a dumping site no farther than 30 miles from the area. The joint contract will be administered through Ramsey, which is the lead agency for the Northwest Bergen Consortium, through which the 13 area towns bid many projects, including road resurfacing. The impetus for the garbage disposal joint venture, according to Kratz, came from a disposal price of only $66 Wyckoff received recently when it decided to go out to bid on the service. Since then, Franklin Lakes and Oakland have joined in Wyckoff’s contract. Wyckoff expects to save about $100,000 a year with the new contract which was achieved by combining the garbage disposal tonnage of all three municipalities in order to create a larger contract and achieve a cost savings due to the volume. Gerard P. McGowan Emmanuel Asks...Can You Help? (continued from page 6) no time at all, she was able to deal more effectively with what was in front of her, and with her overwhelming fear. Our volunteers began a monthly food delivery, Marjorie got connected to community resources, bills got paid, and insurance company problems were resolved. Marjorie tells us, “I am not out of the woods yet. We have many medical issues to deal with, but we’re able to meet the challenges and I do not feel all alone in this. Thank you so much for all of your help!” If you want to help us meet the many challenges our families face, please contribute to the Family Financial Fund. Another big need: One of our families needs a new fence (6’ x 128’) for their yard. The old fence is beyond repair and is falling down. If you have a solution, please contact us. Save our van: A few years back, we were able to acquire a van due to the generosity of a local church. Since then, we have made countless deliveries of groceries and other items to families. Now we need your help to keep the van in operation (maintenance, licensing, gas, and oil). If you want to help by contributing or by organizing a fundraiser, please let us know. Help us to help others!
