Board awards nearly $10.6 million contract to close part of Onslow landfill using state grant funds
Summary
Onslow commissioners approved a phase‑2 partial closure contract for nearly 17 acres of subtitle D landfill, awarding the work to Lawing & Sons with the board noting the project will be covered by a $20 million state grant approved in 2024.
The Onslow County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a contract to partially close nearly 17 acres of the county’s subtitle D landfill.
Solid Waste Director Jamie Harrell reminded the board that the county received a $20 million state appropriation in April 2024 to fund future landfill subtitle D work. After bids in August 2025, staff reported the lowest bidder was Lawing & Sons. Staff requested approval of the phase‑2 partial closure contract; the board approved the award and authorized the chairman to sign the necessary documents.
The bid amount is reported in the transcript in two closely similar figures: $10,591,373.07 (as stated earlier in staff remarks) and $10,591,307.73 and 7¢ when read during the contract motion. The board record authorizes the county to proceed; staff said the work will be covered by the previously awarded grant.
What’s next: Staff will finalize the contract and proceed with closure work under grant oversight and applicable state environmental requirements.
