NRCS-MA Tyler Dam Rehabilitation Project Floodwater Retarding Dam

The Farm Production and Conservation Business Center has issued a combined synopsis and solicitation under solicitation number 12FPC326B0012 for the Tyler Dam Rehabilitation Project in Worcester County, Massachusetts. This project, categorized under NAICS 237990 for Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction and PSC Y1QA for Construction of Restoration of Real Property (Public or Private), is a Small Business Administration (SBA) set-aside. The primary objective is to rehabilitate the existing floodwater retarding dam to comply with current safety and performance standards after engineering studies identified inadequate auxiliary spillway capacity. Responses for this requirement are due by June 18, 2026.

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 raise portions of the dam embankment crest to establish a uniform elevation and construct a concrete crest wall near Robin Hill Street to prevent overtopping. Additional requirements include replacing concrete joint sealant in the auxiliary and principal spillways, replacing chain-link fencing around the drop structure, and removing trees near the upstream embankment groin.

A site showing is scheduled for May 27, 2026, at the project location in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Mark Domingo serves as the point of contact for this solicitation. The notice includes six attachments: the combined synopsis, technical specifications, project drawings, and two wage determinations. Documentation was published on May 19, 2026, and updated on May 20, 2026.
