Project Description

Emmitsburg Dam
Sealed proposals are due by 4:00pm on March 6, 2026.
Please see “Submittal Requirements” on how to submit your bid.

The Mayor and Commissioners of Emmitsburg, Maryland are requesting sealed bids from qualified firms to prepare complete construction documents for repairs to Emmitsburg Dam (Maryland Dam No. 18 / NID MD00018) to meet MDE requirements. The selected firm will develop drawings, specifications, and technical documents. Additional services include bidding assistance, construction oversight, and as-built documentation.
The Emmitsburg Dam was built in 1950 and creates Rainbow Lake, the primary drinking water reservoir for the Town of Emmitsburg. It is classified by the State as a High Hazard dam. The dam is owned and operated by the Town of Emmitsburg, which also performs routine monitoring through several observation wells located around the structure. In 2024, the Town contracted Charles P. Johnson & Associates (CPJA) to complete a comprehensive inspection of the dam per MDE requirements. The Final Inspection Report by CPJA, including a detailed list of recommended repair items, is the basis for the planned repair work. Request for this report should be directed to the Town Planner, Najila Ahsan, at nahsan@emmitsburgmd.gov.

Questions? Contact Najila Ahsan, at nahsan@emmitsburgmd.gov. All questions and corresponding answers will be posted in writing on the Town’s website for bidder reference.
