The United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service Southwestern Region awarded an indefinite delivery contract to Paleowest LLC, doing business as Chronicle Heritage, to provide cultural resources services including archaeological surveys, site testing and recording, and inventory reports. The IDV has a potential value of $12.5 million and a period of performance from August 2020 through August 2025.
Under the IDV, the Forest Service has issued multiple delivery orders to Chronicle Heritage for archaeological surveys and heritage resource management services across Arizona and New Mexico in support of land management projects such as wildfire restoration, fuels reduction, prescribed burns, road construction and maintenance. Surveys are conducted to inventory cultural resources and enable compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act prior to ground disturbing activities. Delivery orders range in value from $37,000 to over $1 million, with services performed in various locations from 2020 through 2025.
The originating pre-solicitation sought these cultural resources inventory and compliance services given the Forest Service's ongoing need to understand and protect heritage assets across the Southwestern region while carrying out activities such as forest restoration and infrastructure work. Chronicle Heritage's performance supports the agency's stewardship responsibilities under the NHPA.
