This is a bid sheet for the Cripple Creek Stream Improvement and Riparian Area Reclamation (SCIIP) project issued by Greenville County, South Carolina. The project encompasses an 800-foot stream restoration initiative within the Reedy River watershed involving twenty line items with varying quantities and unit measurements. Key deliverables include mobilization, erosion and sediment control, clearing and grubbing (1.5 acres), excavation and grading operations (680 cubic yards cut and fill in place; 3,070 cubic yards cut and remove offsite), installation of instream features (2 cross vanes, 2 single arm vanes, 4 boulder riffles), bank toe treatments (800 linear feet boulder toe, 700 linear feet rock toe), turf reinforcement matting (2,700 square yards at 700G, 500 square yards at 320G, 1,100 square yards permanent), vegetation establishment (1.5 acres), live stakes (80 bundles), and plugs/bare root stems (400 each). The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit occurred on July 11, 2025, with bid submissions due August 1, 2025, at 3:15 pm and a tentative contract award date of September 8, 2025. The contract includes a 90-calendar day completion timeline with potential liquidated damages of $250 per day for late completion.

The engineer's estimate for the total project is $706,259.40, including a 5% contingency of $33,631.40. Evaluation criteria heavily emphasize cost at 99% of the scoring with only 1% allocated to responsiveness. Contractors are required to provide a 5% bid bond, performance and payment bonds, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 in general liability and automobile liability. The project offers significant cost-saving opportunities with free boulder materials available from the Twin Chimneys Landfill stockpile (11075 Augusta Road, Honea Path, South Carolina 29654) and no tipping fees for spoil material disposal at the same location. All construction must be performed in accordance with project plans, with GPS preferred as the survey method. Contractors must demonstrate experience with similar stream restoration projects and provide references. Compliance with federal and state regulations, including the Illegal Immigration Reform Act, is required.
