Alvin Bush Dam Rock Wall Stabilization, Kettle Creek, Clinton County, PA

Project Scope:

1. Alvin Bush Dam has a roadway alongside its spillway. The primary features of the dam include an earthen embankment; an uncontrolled spillway with concrete weir; and a gated outlet consisting of a control tower and concrete lined tunnel through bedrock. The wall is approaching 62 years old, is deteriorated, and has nearly eroded back to the state roadway.

2. The scope of the project consists of constructing two reinforced concrete rock anchored walls to prevent continued progressive rock erosion which has led to fallen rock accumulation within the spillway and will ultimately lead to failure of Kettle Creek Road. The project also includes proposed drainage improvements, paving, grading, spoils, access roads, stairs, railing, fencing and other work incidental to the related work.

3. Obtain the necessary permits to perform the work cited above. As a minimum, a permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection National Pollution will be required. The magnitude of construction is between $15,000,000 and $25,000,000.

This solicitation will be available on or about 30 May 2025 from the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (https://piee.eb.mil) website.
