The USDA Forest Service Southwestern Region awarded an indefinite delivery contract vehicle to Paleowest LLC, doing business as Chronicle Heritage, to conduct cultural resource surveys and compliance activities across New Mexico national forests. The IDV has a potential value of $12.5 million over five years. Under the IDV, the awardee has received multiple firm fixed price delivery orders to perform archeological surveys, site recordings and inspections, limited testing, and clearance reports for forest management and development projects in Taos, Alamogordo, and Coyote, New Mexico. Individual orders range from approximately $200,000 to $550,000 and include surveys of 6,803 acres in Santa Fe National Forest and heritage surveys in Taos and Alamogordo. Work is to be completed on various dates between August 2023 and July 2025. The original solicitation sought these cultural and historic resource support services given the Forest Service's responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act for tribal consultations and surveys on public lands prior to ground-disturbing activities. The pre-solicitation notice indicated work may include large-area inventories, smaller targeted surveys, and testing on any New Mexico national forest.
