Mascaro awarded $200M in contracts
The competitive-bid awards came from 18 municipalities
AUDUBON » Montgomery Countybased waste service company J.P. Mascaro & Sons was awarded more than $200 million in municipal and government contracts during the fourth quarter of 2020.
The competitively-bid contracts were awarded by 18 communities in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Northeastern Pennsylvania
and Northern New Jersey — contracts ranging from two to seven years in length.
Among the municipalities awarding contracts were: Lower Pottsgrove, Hanover, Muhlenberg, West Whiteland, Upper Dublin, West Bradford, Norristown, Wyomissing, Birdsboro, Ambler and the Delaware County Regional Water Authority.
“Our company’s recent level of success in competitively-bid municipal contracts is a testament to our superb regional infrastructure, which includes numerous operating divisions, transfer stations, recycling centers, composting facilities, and modern sanitary landfills,” Sam Augustine, director of sales and contract procurement for J.P Mascaro & Sons, said in the release.
While company president Pat Mascaro said he is pleased with the contract awards, he is “especially proud” of how employees have performed during “this very difficult COVID-19 working year.”
“Our collection crews have been subject to abnormal and significantly changed working conditions, with greatly increased waste streams because of the COVID-19 situation, and collectively they have made many personal sacrifices and demonstrated an extraordinary level of commitment in serving our customers,” Mascaro said in the release. He added that the past year “hasn’t been an easy year” for staff, with the company absorbing additional costs “without any governmental assistance, in striving to keep our service level as close to normal as possible during these extraordinarily difficult times.”
One of the contracts awarded in the fourth quarter of 2020 was a “multi-million dollar” five-year contract with the Morris County (New Jersey) Municipal Utilities Authority. The transportation and disposal contract is one of the largest in the country, according to J. P. Mascaro & Sons.
The company is responsible for operating two waste transfer stations in Morris County, New
Jersey, and for transporting and disposing of all Morris County waste delivered to those transfer stations.
To meet its contract performance obligations for Morris County, the company invested more than $8 million to purchase of 25 new 2021 International RH613 truck tractors and 78 new 2021 100-cubic yard transfer trailers, according to Michael Mascaro, vice president of operations.
