Introducing bass into a dam...

In terms of the new NEM:BA legislation, bass may be moved into an area that already has bass and is not limited by the new legislation, provided that you apply for and are granted a permit to do so. If you are up to a long read, herewith all you need to know in this regard:

The bluegill and kurper forage base is great and if there are no bass in there, then you will probably find a stunted overcrowded population provided that the carp haven't sucked up all the eggs and fry every spring.
Are you sure that there are no bass in already. If it's a quarry, the water should be clear and have high vantage points from which you can watch what's going on in there. It's never a good idea to stock bass into an existing bass water unless you are culling and replacing with the same biomass but perhaps different genetics.
