Noyes Cut Phase 2 Pre-Bid Conference Slides.pdf

These are pre-bid conference slides for the Noyes Cut Ecosystem Restoration Phase Two project (Solicitation #W912HN25B5008) by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District. The project involves closing a man-made cut in the salt marsh north of the Satilla River in Camden County, Georgia, with the objectives of increasing tidal exchange, restoring salinity gradients, and reducing shoaling. The contractor will construct a 500-foot-long rubble-mound cut closure structure at Noyes Cut using approximately 21,000 tons of GDOT Type I riprap, with a 3:1 horizontal-to-vertical slope.

Key project details include a 365-calendar-day construction period, anticipated weather delay workdays, and liquidated damages of $1,373 per day. The remote, water-accessible site is an ecologically sensitive tidal saltmarsh ecosystem with a mean tide range of ~7.3 feet. Bid submissions are due electronically by 2:00 PM ET on August 12, 2025, with a minimum 90-day bid acceptance period. The project requires environmental compliance with multiple regulations, including provisions for endangered species protection, and will involve careful rock placement to minimize impacts to fish and wildlife.
