Bellevue Pond Dam Rehabilitation Middlesex Fells Reservation, Medford, MA 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 control 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.

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).
