Londonderry Township authorizes advertisement for bids on Conewago Creek Phase 4 after permits secured
Loading...
Summary
Following presentations that federal and state permits are in hand, the board authorized advertising bids for Phase 4 of the Conewago Creek project and instructed staff to proceed with bidding documents and Right-of-Entry coordination with PennDOT.
Kevin Stough of LandStudies LLC updated the board on Phase 4 of the Conewago Creek project, reporting that permits from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been received and that a No-Rise Certification will be provided to FEMA in lieu of a CLOMR. Stough also said LandStudies is preparing the project manual for bidding and working with PennDOT to secure Right-of-Entry permits.
Following the presentation the board unanimously authorized advertising the Phase 4 project for bids according to the bid specifications presented (motion by Bart Shellenhamer; second by Scott Merchlinski).
Why it matters: authorization to advertise is a key procurement step that moves the flood mitigation/restoration project into a contractor selection phase; obtaining permits and a No-Rise Certification are critical prerequisites for construction work in regulated floodplain areas.
The minutes record no public opposition or formal amendments to the bid materials; staff and the project engineer will continue coordination and prepare the bidding documents.
