Delta Gunnison Ouray Saguache San Miguel Area 1 GIS Shapefiles.zip

This file is a GIS shapefile dataset containing geographic and spatial information for Area 1 projects across Delta, Gunnison, Ouray, Saguache, and San Miguel Counties in Colorado. The shapefiles were provided as an amendment (Amendment 0001) to Solicitation 12FPC326Q0028 to support the NRCS-Colorado Cultural Resource Inventory and Recordation Services contract opportunity.

The shapefiles serve as reference materials for contractors bidding on cultural resource survey and documentation services funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Bill Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). These geospatial files define the areas of potential effect (APEs) where pedestrian surveys and historic property identification and documentation must be conducted in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and its implementing regulations at 36 CFR 800. The shapefile dataset enables contractors to visualize project locations, boundaries, and geographic contexts necessary for planning and executing cultural resource inventory work across the five specified Colorado counties. Written questions regarding the solicitation were due to amy.smith2@usda.gov by July 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM EDT.
