The Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration has announced a funding opportunity for municipalities to conduct preliminary design studies for dam removal projects in Fiscal Year 2026. This initiative aims to gather essential information to support ecological restoration and climate resilience efforts by assessing the feasibility of dam removal at eligible sites, primarily those under the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts Office of Dam Safety that are municipally owned or benefit municipalities. The program will provide technical assistance and contracted engineering services, including site visits, topographic and bathymetric surveys, sediment testing, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and the development of preliminary designs and technical reports. The funding range per project is between $500,000 and $2,000,000, with selected projects receiving designation awards, although municipalities are not obligated to proceed beyond the initial study phase. Applicants must monitor the Commonwealth’s procurement system, COMMBUYS, for the official Request for Response (RFR) release, expected in summer 2025, and submit separate applications for each dam, including a signed Dam Owner Access Agreement to ensure site access. The process emphasizes coordination with dam owners and municipalities, requiring site access arrangements and information sharing. The selection process evaluates each dam individually, with approximately seven dams anticipated to be chosen. The work will be performed at the dam sites within Massachusetts, with the Department of Ecological Restoration overseeing the technical studies conducted by hired consultants. There are no specific contract clauses, federal regulations, or detailed evaluation criteria included in the current documentation, and the opportunity is structured as a state grant rather than a federal procurement. Applicants are responsible for monitoring updates and amendments through official channels, and all deliverables will be shared with the municipalities and dam owners involved.
