USACE Wilmington has awarded Cape Romain Contractors USD 7.016 million to stabilize the banks at Snow's Cut. The tender covered four areas totaling up to 7,100 feet, while the award notice leaves the final reach split and quantities to the contract documents.

Cape Romain has the shoreline contract

USACE names Cape Romain Contractors, gives the award as USD 7,015,897.42 and expects work to begin in the coming months. SAM.gov identifies solicitation W912PM26BA001 and the small-business competition. The procurement and environmental assessment set out four work areas totaling up to 7,100 feet; the final awarded quantity and reach split are not published.

Snow's Cut remains a working waterway

Snow's Cut carries the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway between the Cape Fear River and Myrtle Grove Sound. Delivery will depend on bank access, navigation windows, park boundaries and the route used to bring armour stone to each work area.

Evidence conclusion

The signed reach split is still missing

The award fixes the contractor, price and broad start window. The signed schedule of reaches and quantities is still missing. For now, the four-area map and 7,100-foot length describe the tender envelope. The notice to proceed or awarded line-item schedule should identify Cape Romain's actual workfront.

Outstanding evidence

  • Notice to proceed and contractor mobilization
  • Awarded reaches and line-item quantities
  • Rock source, delivery route and bank-access plan
  • Navigation restrictions and environmental work controls
  • Completion survey, owner acceptance and post-work erosion performance
