USACE Wilmington awarded Cape Romain Contractors USD 7,015,897.42 for shoreline stabilization at Snow's Cut. The earlier procurement covered up to 7,100 feet across four areas; the award release does not say which reaches or quantities made the signed package.

What changed

USACE confirms Cape Romain Contractors and the USD 7,015,897.42 award and says work should begin in the coming months. SAM.gov identifies solicitation W912PM26BA001 and the small-business competition. The earlier procurement and environmental assessment describe the four-reach, up-to-7,100-foot planning boundary; neither source proves the final awarded quantity or reach split.

Why it matters

This is now contractor workload rather than a planning study. It also sits on a live Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway link, so rock supply, bank access, navigation control and park interfaces will matter as much as the headline shoreline length.

Decision read

What remains open

USACE names the owner, contractor, USD 7,015,897.42 award value and an expected start in the coming months. It does not identify the signed reach split or quantities. Until the bid schedule or construction drawings are public, the four-reach map and 7,100-foot figure remain the wider procurement envelope, not proof of the work Cape Romain will install.

Next watchpoints

  • 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
