SECTION B – STATEMENT OF WORK

B.1 SUMMARY OF WORK

The purpose of the inventory is to identify, record and evaluate all cultural sites within the APE that are listed, eligible or potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Thus, “evaluate” means each discovered cultural site should be measured against the criteria for listing on the NRHP. The Summary Report will serve as a medium for submitting the findings to the SHPO and will serve as confirmation that the Forest Service has met the requirements contained in Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

At minimum, the work under this contract would be for the completion of Class III cultural resource inventories and site evaluations to address the following:

Assist the San Juan National Forest with compliance mandates established in Section 106 and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).

Conduct field inventories, site recording, site evaluations, evaluation of potential effects, all associated documentation, inventory reports, and artifact curation must meet standards defined by the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office (CO-SHPO) including use of the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) forms, and the COMPASS database system (https://gis.colorado.gov/compass/).

Provide inventory reports that include discussions of preliminary management recommendations associated with the proposed undertaking. The Forest will utilize the information to make final management recommendations in consultation with the CO-SHPO, Indian Tribes, and other interested parties.

This project requires that the contractor conduct Class III intensive inventories meeting CO-SHPO standards (https://www.historycolorado.org) for survey areas identified under this contract for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The Class III inventories will include large block surveys for vegetation management projects, such as timber sales and prescribed fire, and smaller dispersed block and linear survey locations for a variety of other resource program inventories.

The data collected is the precursor to the San Juan National Forest, Dolores Ranger Districts, proposed plan to conduct vegetation management across approximately 12,174 acres in twelve (12) separate project areas within the Salter EA analysis area. Proposed treatments include sanitation/salvage, pre-commercial thinning, commercial thinning, single tree selection treatments, oak thinning, reforestation, and pile burning.

Optional Items: Bid options will be awarded at the discretion of the Government, based on continuing need, price reasonableness, and availability of funding. Award will be based on the contract total value, which considers base and optional items combined.

B.2 SCOPE OF WORK

All field notes, reports, forms, maps, electronic data, photographs or digital images, any artifacts collected, and any data generated from this procurement are considered property of the United States and will be submitted to the COR with the final Addendum Report at the conclusion of the project. Per the provisions of the 1979 Archaeological Resources Protection Act, as amended, all computer files generated or gathered as a result of this project will be deleted from all non-federal computers used by the contractor or his/her subcontractors immediately following submission of the final report.

During the project, reasonable precautions will be taken to avoid the disclosure of site locations to all but authorized personnel. Reference the Contract Specifications in Section D.
