This document is an Engineer's Estimate for the Cripple Creek Stream Restoration and Riparian Reclamation: Phase 1 project, dated May 2025, for a stream improvement initiative in South Carolina. The project encompasses multiple restoration activities including mobilization, erosion and sediment control, clearing and grubbing 1.5 acres, bedding stone placement, riprap and boulder installation, excavation and grading (both in-place and offsite removal), and various stream restoration techniques such as cross vanes, single arm vanes, boulder riffles, and boulder toe treatments. The estimate includes quantities for rock toe installation, coir turf reinforcement matting, permanent turf reinforcement, seeding, mulching, vegetation establishment, live stakes, and plug/bare root stem plantings.

The total estimated project cost is $706,259.40, which includes a 5% contingency of $33,631.40. The pricing is broken down by line item with specific unit prices and total costs, ranging from $2,092.00 for plugs/bare root stems to $192,000.00 for boulder toe installation. The estimate covers 800 linear feet of stream improvement, involving extensive earthwork, erosion control, and ecological restoration techniques designed to stabilize stream banks, reduce erosive energy, and establish riparian vegetation. The project appears to be part of a broader watershed restoration effort in the Reedy River watershed, focusing on creating more sustainable and ecologically sound stream corridor environments.
