NRCS-MA Tyler Dam Rehabilitation Project Floodwater Retarding Dam

The Farm Production and Conservation Business Center is soliciting bids for the rehabilitation of the Tyler Dam in Marlborough, Worchester County, Massachusetts. Under solicitation number 12FPC326B0012, this project aims to bring the existing floodwater retarding dam into compliance with current safety and performance standards. Engineering studies determined that the existing dam has inadequate auxiliary spillway capacity, which could lead to overtopping and breaching during a probable maximum flood. This requirement is designated as an SBA SBA set-aside under NAICS code 237990 for Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction and PSC Y1QA for Construction of Restoration of Real Property (Public or Private).

The scope of work involves several major construction tasks, including excavating the auxiliary spillway approach channel to improve flow efficiency and installing a geosynthetic clay liner. Contractors will be responsible for raising dam embankment crests, constructing a concrete crest wall where Robin Hill Street intersects the dam, and replacing concrete joint sealants in both the auxiliary and principal spillway conduits. Additional requirements include replacing chain-link fencing around the drop structure and removing trees within 20 feet of the right upstream embankment groin.

Performance will take place in Massachusetts, with the primary site located at 200 Robin Hill Street. The response deadline for this combined synopsis and solicitation is June 25, 2026. Administrative records for this opportunity include 11 attachments such as the Invitation for Bid (IFB), addendums, and site visit attendance records. Mark Domingo serves as the point of contact for the FPAC Business Center Acquisition Division regarding this procurement.
