Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis with Dam Failure Modeling

The contract seeks to perform updated hydrologic and hydraulic analyses focused on evaluating spillway capacity, flood routing, and dam failure inundation modeling to accurately determine the hazard classification of a dam. These analyses are critical for assessing potential risks associated with dam failure and informing emergency preparedness and infrastructure safety measures. The work will involve advanced modeling techniques to simulate flood scenarios under various failure conditions and to assess the downstream impact zones, ensuring compliance with current standards for dam safety evaluation. The contract is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 541320, indicating it involves engineering services. It was posted on May 4, 2026, with a response deadline of June 19, 2026, providing a six-week window for proposers to submit their bids. Although the contracting agency is listed as the Vermont Department of Economic Development, the specific location of performance and point of contact details are not provided, suggesting the work may apply statewide or to a system of dams under state jurisdiction. This effort is part of broader infrastructure safety initiatives focused on enhancing public safety through precise risk assessment and data-driven hazard classification.
