AI Contract Overview
The Tyler Dam Rehabilitation project in Worcester County, Massachusetts, involves upgrading the existing dam to meet current safety and performance standards. Engineering assessments revealed insufficient auxiliary spillway capacity, risking overtopping and potential embankment breach during extreme flood events. Key tasks include excavating the upstream approach channel by 2.5 feet, installing a geosynthetic clay liner, raising sections of the dam crest to increase freeboard and achieve uniform elevation, and constructing a concrete crest wall at a low point near Robin Hill Street to prevent overtopping. Additional work involves replacing concrete joint sealants above the waterline in the spillways, upgrading the chain-link fencing around the auxiliary spillway, and removing trees within 20 feet of the right upstream embankment groin. This contract, designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 237990, is managed by the Department of Agriculture’s Fpac Business Center Acquisition Division. The solicitation was posted on May 19, 2026, with responses due by June 19, 2026. Site viewing is scheduled for May 27, 2026, at 200 Robin Hill Street, Marlborough, MA. The work aims to enhance floodwater retarding capabilities and ensure long-term structural integrity, with Mark Domingo listed as the primary point of contact for the procurement.

The work consists of rehabilitating the existing dam to be in compliance with current safety and performance standards. Engineering studies identified that the dam has inadequate auxiliary spillway capacity that would result in overtopping and breaching of the embankment during the probable maximum flood. The major items of work include: excavating the approach channel upstream
of the auxiliary spillway drop structure by 2.5 feet to improve flow efficiency; installing a geosynthetic clay liner in the auxiliary spillway approach; raising portions of the dam embankment crest to provide additional freeboard and create a uniform crest elevation; constructing a concrete crest wall to provide freeboard and prevent overtopping at a low spot where Robin Hill Street
intersects the top of dam; replacing concrete joint sealant above the waterline in the auxiliary spillway and in the principal spillway conduit; replacing existing chain-link fencing surrounding the auxiliary spillway drop structure; and removing trees within 20 feet of the right upstream embankment groin.
