PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Government intends to issue an invitation for Bid (IFB) for Codorus Creek Flood Wall

Improvements in York, PA.

The Magnitude of Construction is between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000.00. The Construction duration is approximately 365 calendar days. The Government intends to issue an Invitation for

Bid (IFB) on or about September 4, 2020 and award the contract on or about 15 November 2020.

The existing flood protection wall between Penn Street and Tyler Run along Codorus Creek in York, Pennsylvania was constructed in the 1930s and 1940s and is deteriorating at several locations. If left unattended, the wall could fail, resulting in failure of the flood wall system.

The USACE desires to take the necessary steps to maintain the effectiveness of the flood wall system to protect the land from the one percent probability flood event (100-year flood) by replacing the Penn Street Floodwall.

The project is located on the south side of Codorus Creek on the property of the old Schmidt and Ault Paper Company, now owned by York College. The extent of the work will be to construct approximately 600 linear feet of wall extending west from the south abutment of the Penn Street Bridge to the Tyler’s Run tributary to Codorus Creek. The work includes demolition of the existing flood wall, partial demolition of the existing building, construction of a new flood wall, and removal of stream channel sediments and incidental related work.

The contractor must supply all necessary personnel, utilities, transportation and sediment and erosion controls as necessary for the successful completion of this project.
