HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County landfill has been working for several months getting ready for a major renovation to its support facilities. On Tuesday, the Reno County Commission will take action on two contracts connected to that project.
To extend the life of the Reno County landfill facility, the scale house, resident drop-off area, and household hazardous waste operations at the current facility will need to be relocated. New facilities were designed by the team of SCS Engineers and Mann & Company Architects. The new facilities include a scale house and customer convenience center. The customer convenience center will serve several purposes including resident household hazardous waste drop-off and “swap shop,” employee break area, water tanker storage and filling, and garage for field trucks.
In November 2020, Reno County issued an invitation to bid for construction of the new facilities. Conco, Inc., was the low bid at $2,654,700. SCS Engineers will supervise the construction by serving as the resident engineer at a cost of $269,500. With equipment and contingency costs, the total cost of the project is estimated at $3,546,320.
The County Commission meeting begins at 9 a.m. at the Reno County Courthouse.
