Rehabilitation of the George H. Nichols Multipurpose Dam in the

SuAsCo Watershed, Town of Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts

A. INTRODUCTION

The George H. Nichols Multipurpose Dam is located in the Town of Westborough, Worcester County, Massachusetts.

The objective of this project is to upgrade the dam to meet current dam safety and performance standards. The design required is to widen and armor the auxiliary spillway (i.e. articulated concrete blocks). The increased capacity of the auxiliary spillway would prevent the dam from being overtopped by the freeboard storm under current land use and watershed build-out conditions.

B. AVAILABLE INFORMATION

• Supplemental Watershed Plan No. 7 & Environmental Assessment for Rehabilitation of George H. Nichols Multipurpose Dam

INDIRECT RESOURCES - Clerical support, storage, computer time, survey equipment, reproduction services, travel arrangements and per diem.

(A) Phase 1 - Plan of Work Review the project documents and make necessary field visits in order to prepare a detailed plan of work to describe the scope and intensity of investigations necessary to accomplish the assigned work. The plan shall identify the objectives of the proposed work, identify the tasks necessary to accomplish the work, set a schedule for completing each task, and determine the cost of accomplishing each task.

(B) Phase 2 - Supporting Documentation Develop the necessary data to design the structural elements by: performing field surveys and mapping; geologic investigations; seismic loadings; obtaining field samples;

performing field and laboratory testing; preparing geology and soil mechanic reports;

identifying borrow sources if necessary; and collecting basic hydrologic data and parameters. Investigation and evaluation of existing features shall be performed as necessary.

(C) Phase 3 - Preliminary Design

Based on the Supplemental Watershed Plan No. 7 & Environmental Assessment for Rehabilitation of George H. Nichols Multipurpose Dam, develop preliminary design for widening and armoring (with articulated concrete blocks) the auxiliary spillway. The spillway will be increased from 340 feet to 610 feet by extending the spillway north onto adjacent Dike A. The auxiliary spillway crest would remain at its existing elevation. The auxiliary spillway will be design to prevent spillway erosion.

Develop the preliminary drawings, specifications, estimated quantities and construction cost estimate. Support the preliminary design by test data, calculations, hydrology, geologic, geotechnical, structural, hydraulic and dimensional calculations, and design drawings. Preliminary drawings, specifications, estimated quantities and construction cost estimate shall be fully developed for peer review.
