Site work for a mixed-use development in Medford, Massachusetts. Completed plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field; and water / sewer project.

The project consists of repairs to the existing weir, stoplog bay, spillway structure, culvert pipe, headwalls, and training walls that have deteriorated over time. Repairs will restore its original function to maintain the pond elevation and con- trol flow through the structure before exiting the culvert. Additionally, the walking path north of the dam has become degraded due to erosion from storm events. The proposed work will improve the path to mitigate future erosion, which will result in safe, level, and defined walking paths and will mitigate the potential for sediment to travel from eroding paths to the pond Question Deadline 10/07/2026 at 12:00 PM ET Questions must be received to Christopher.DeTurk@mass.gov Responses to questions / addendums will be issued on Wednesday , October 14, 2026 The work is to be accomplished within 365 calendar days of a notice to proceed. Liquidated damages in the amount of $ 750.00_per day will be assessed if the work has not been completed in accordance with the provisions of the contract within the time specified (as extended by any authorized extension of time granted in accordance with the contract provisions). Bidders must be pre-qualified by the Massachusetts Dept. of Transportation (MassDOT) Highway Division in Dam Construction to bid on the above project. An award will not be made to a Contractor who is not pre-qualified by MassDOT prior to the opening of Proposals. The applicable local minority workforce utilization percentage is a minimum goal of 15.3%. The applicable local women workforce utilization percentage is a minimum goal of 6.9%. Each bid must be accompanied by a bid deposit, in the form of a bid bond, cash, certified check, or a treasurer's or cashier's check issued by a responsible bank or trust company, payable to the Department of Conservation and Recreation in the amount of 5% of the bid. The Department reserves the right to waive any informalities in or to reject any and all bids if it be in the public interest to do so. The rehabilitation, maintenance, and repair work will, in general, consists of demolition and reconstruction of the existing deteriorated weir structure, removal of sediment from the spillway, demolition and reconstruction of the spillway slab, reconstruction of the stoplog bay, limited repointing of the upstream and downstream stone masonry headwall, installation of loam and seed, fill and mulch, and vegetation along the downstream eroded path. In addition, the Work includes regrading of the gravel hiking trail (Erosion Area) northeast of the dam, and installation of granite steps with gravel infill along the eroded hiking trail in that area. The work required by the Contract Drawings and Specifications shall include furnishing all labor, skill , supervision, tools, construction plant, equipment and materials and performing all operations necessary for the proper completion of the Contract Work as shown on the Plans and Specifications, and as required by the DCR. The Contractor shall also provide all materials, fuels, labor, and other items necessary for the protection of the Work from hot weather, cold weather, precipitation, surface water flow, groundwater, or other potentially adverse conditions which might cause harm to completed work or work underway. The Contractor shall be prepared to remove personnel, equipment, and materials from areas of potential inundation in the event of excessive flows and be prepared to restore any damage and resume work at the site. Primary work items included as part of the Contract shall include rehabilitation, maintenance, and repair work to address specific dam safety deficiencies. The Work will include reconstruction of the weir and the spillway floor, as well as limited repointing of the existing Quarry Road Path headwalls and repair and stabilization of eroded areas downstream of the Dam and in the Erosion Area northeast of the Dam and adjacent areas. Rehabilitation features and "in- kind" maintenance repairs have been designed in general accordance with the Massachusetts Dam Safety Rules and Regulations (302 CMR 10.00) and standard dam engineering practices. To achieve the desired improvements, major components of the Work will include, but not be limited to, the following: Major Work Activities Installation of tree protection measures, exclusion fencing, and sedimentation controls. Establish temporary water control measures, both surface and groundwater, for the Work as referenced in Section 01565 and the Contract Documents. Demolition and reconstruction of existing weir and spillway floor. Replace upstream stop log structure. Regrading, stabilization and installation of granite steps with gravel infill at the Erosion Area northeast of the dam. Stabilization of slopes upgradient of the southern Bank of Floyds Brook. Pressure grout or dry pack mortar to address undermining of wall and fill void around culvert. Installation of loam and seed in disturbed areas outside of Bellevue Pond and Floyds Brook and at the junction of the hiking trail and walking path north of the dam.
