5-ESR Rolling Consultation CherryFireESR.xlsx

This file is an Environmental Site Recordation (ESR) Rolling Consultation Sheet template developed for archaeological survey and documentation related to the Cherry Fire rehabilitation project in Utah's Juab County, issued by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing in coordination with Wildlife Resources and the Bureau of Land Management. The document serves as a standardized form for recording archaeological sites discovered during post-fire surveys across three consultation sessions, requiring detailed documentation of site characteristics including dimensions, artifact counts, features, fire effects, and condition assessments. Each site entry requires archaeological professionals to document site type, square meterage, artifact inventory, feature descriptions with diagnostic materials, direct and indirect fire effects, preliminary eligibility determinations under cultural resource protection standards, and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurrence status, with completion dates and implementation notes for site avoidance or treatment protocols.

The ESR Rolling Consultation Sheet template includes instructional guidance emphasizing that detailed site descriptions enabling proper eligibility and treatment determinations should explicitly reference tools, diagnostic artifacts, and feature components. The document provides three identical example sessions with completed sample entries demonstrating proper documentation format, including a historic trash scatter with structural footprint (historic Navajo Hogan candidate) that received direct suppression effects and qualified as eligible for preservation, and a lithic scatter with no diagnostic tools that did not meet eligibility criteria. Pricing terms, set-asides, funding sources, and contract award specifications are contained in the related Invitation for Bid (IFB) requiring vendors to be on the approved archaeology vendor list, with vendor responsibility for maintaining guaranteed pricing throughout the project term and scoring evaluation per established AVL methodology.
