Tully Environmental Inc.

Since 1985, the Tully family has been expanding its horizons into the waste management industry. It began when Willets Point Contracting bid its first project in 1985, Tully Construction continued to and Tully Environmental does continue to pursue contracts with municipalities for disposition and recycling of waste materials. This is a dynamic industry as many cities and counties are spending millions of dollars to manage their waste. Two projects of note that have been completed by Tully and/or Willets Point are the waste transfer operations for the Town of Oyster Bay and Bergen County Utilities Authority this was a Joint Venture between Willets Point and Tully Construction. These contracts had combined values of over 150 Million Dollars.

Responsibilities on the Oyster Bay project included the construction of the town's transfer station at 200 Clairmont Road in Old Bethpage, Long Island. This facility was a 40,000 square foot modern baling plant with the capability to recycle waste. Once the transfer station was completed, Tully provided transportation and disposal for nearly 1600 tons per day of municipal solid waste for a two and half year period at the transfer station. The scope of work also included operation and maintenance of (3) 1041 HRB Balers, (2) 950 Caterpillar front end loaders, (2) 560 Dresser front end loaders, (100) flat bed trailers and (40) walking floor trailers of up to 100 cubic yards of capacity for over the road hauling of waste.

Willets Point and Tully in a Joint Venture also operated the Bergen County Utilities Authority Transfer Station in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Willets Point and Tully Construction were contracted to supply all personnel and equipment to operate the temporary transfer station until the county could complete the new transfer station which they themselves would operate. Willets Point was also the primary contractor to haul and dispose of waste.

The joint venture operated this transfer station for nine months, handling up to 4,500 tons daily of municipal solid waste for the residents of Bergen County (Willets/Tully processed over 900,000 Tons of MSW during this contract). Material was loaded loose into solid waste transfer trailers. Our personnel operated (6) Dresser 560 front-end loaders, 24 hours a day or as required, to dispose of the County's waste at various landfills on the East Coast. Tully has used landfills in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Virginia, New Jersey, New York and West Virginia and has transported waste by utilizing both over the road and rail transportation.

Tully Construction independently reacquired the Town of Oyster Bay project Willets Point Contracting had this same project from 1985 to 1988 in the year
1993 after both Waste Management, the largest waste handling company in the world, and B.F.I., (Now Allied Environmental) the second largest, had the contract for over 5 years. Tully processed, loaded, transported and disposed of over 160,000 tons of solid waste during this contract.

Presently, Tully Environmental has a permit to run its own transfer station in Queens New York and has been awarded a 35 million dollar contract by the New York City, Department of Sanitation, to haul and dispose of 900 tons per day of solid waste from the Borough of Queens, New York City. With change orders this contract will be an 80 million dollar contract when it is completed.

Biosolids Management and Disposal

Tully Construction saw a new opportunity in the area of Biosolid Management. Tully’s first contract in this upcoming field was to haul and dispose of dewatered sludge cake from the Nassau County Water Pollution Control Plant in 1991. The facility is located in Wantagh, New York and the project had contract value of over fifteen million dollars.
