PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
FCRPS FY 22
Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation HPRCSIT Inventory for the Big Eddy/Long Narrows Area of The Dalles Project Wasco County, OR and Klickitat County, WA
GENERAL STATEMENT
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) (together Agencies) are jointly responsible for compliance with Sections 106 the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) under the terms of the 2009 Systemwide Programmatic Agreement (SWPA) for management of historic properties affected by operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). The Corps, Portland District manages The Bonneville, The Dalles, and John Day Projects, which are part of the FCRPS.
The FCRPS Cultural Resource Program works closely with interested and affected tribes, state historic preservation offices (SHPOs), and other agencies for cultural resource management in compliance with Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA. The study area includes the direct effects area of potential effect (APE) for The Dalles and John Day established in April 2016 by the Wana Pa Koot Koot FCRPS Cooperating Group.
In 2014, the Corps performed a data gaps analysis, which included an analysis of traditional cultural properties (TCP) and historic properties of religious and cultural significance to tribes (HPRCSIT). In consultation with four Columbia River Treaty Tribes, the Corps created an inventory plan.1 The study produced by this contract will directly support the Agencies’ compliance with Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA by identifying HPRCSITs through gathering oral history data regarding traditional use areas of the various tribes of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (CTWSRO). This data will also assist the Agencies’ inventory efforts within the APE by providing a framework for evaluation of cultural resources found within the study area.
The objective of this performance work statement is to identify and assess CTWSRO TCPs and/or HPRCSITs associated with Big Eddy and the Long Narrows area of The Dalles Project. The Contractor will identify tribal members with knowledge of the area and produce a report containing data to assist the Agencies in their inventory and Sections 106 and 110 compliance efforts.
The following attachments are included at the end of this Performance Work Statement:

The COR will notify the Contracting Officer of unacceptable performance. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defect(s) in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:
a. Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements.
b. Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.
c. If the Contractor fails to promptly re-perform the services, or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may:
i. By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service;
ii. Issue Cure Notice;
iii. Terminate the contract for Government convenience; and / or
iv. Terminate the contract for Cause.

Attachment 1 – GIS Data
BPA GIS Specification for FCRPS Cultural Resources Program Data Updated 06/11/2021
1. GPS/GIS STANDARDS FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD INVENTORY
The Agencies seek assistance to use GPS (global positioning system) to collect cultural resource Site, Survey, Documentation Methods, and Cultural Material locations within the location of work, as defined in the main body of the Statement of Work. The contractor will collect, edit, and differentially correct GPS files and then transmit projected ESRI geodatabase feature classes with tabular information and FGDC metadata as a deliverable. See GIS data dictionary for a list of required fields, field definitions, and values. This data dictionary is not intended to represent all the possible information collected in the field. It is the information the agencies need for internal purposes.
1a GPS data collection The contractor will load a Data Dictionary or XML to the GPS unit. The Data Dictionary or XML file must match the BPA FCRPS Cultural Resource Program specifications2 for Feature Class Names, Field Names, Data Types/Lengths, and Field Definition and Values (Domains). If the contractor is unable to use the BPA’s XML data dictionary or geodatabase template, the contractor will create the data dictionary using the information provided in Attachment 1:
GIS Data Dictionary.
1b GIS Data Formatting GIS Deliverable requirements:
Geodatabase Format: Tabular fields will be populated with information as specified in the Attachment 1: GIS Data Dictionary. All feature class names, field names, and value choices must match the naming conventions in Attachment 1: GIS Data Dictionary. The deliverable will include one geodatabase containing all deliverable feature classes. The deliverable will include one feature class for each type of feature. For example, all survey polygons will be in the Survey_Poly feature class. GIS features of the same type stored as individual features or individual shapefiles will not be accepted.
Spatial Reference: All GIS data will be correctly projected in the coordinate system WGS 1984. The XML file provided is in WGS 1984. Questions regarding appropriate projection or troubleshooting related to uploading the XML file to data collection devices should be directed to BPA’s GIS Analyst.
GIS Metadata Format:
There are eleven feature classes in the GIS Data Dictionary. Each feature class in the GIS deliverable will have metadata. The required metadata format is ESRI ArcCatalog Metadata using the FGDC standard: North American Profile (NAP) of ISO 19115 2003. The ESRI ArcCatalog Metadata will have these fields populated; Tags, Summary, Description, Credits, Citation Contact(s), Resource Citation Date(s).
1c Review GIS deliverables will be reviewed to ensure that they meet the requirements described in Task 1a and 1b. The contractor must remedy missing or incorrect requirements by the date or timeline specified in the contract.
Any questions concerning GPS or GIS should be directed to BPA’s GIS Analyst, Mathew Sisneros 503-230-5143 or mrsisneros@bpa.gov
GIS Data Dictionary Field definitions for cultural resource geodatabase. All fields should be filled out unless denoted with an asterisk (*); it is understood that these fields may not be applicable in all situations or the information unknown. Fields shown in gray should be filled out while field work is being conducted; the remainder should be filled out in the office/lab.
2 Note that BPA maintains two separate Data Dictionaries: one for the jointly managed FCRPS Cultural Resource Program, and one for cultural resource compliance in support of transmission and fish and wildlife projects.
Site Feature Classes; Site_Poly, Site_Pt, Site_Ln
Use the Site feature classes to define isolate or site location points, or site/isolate boundary. This includes points that mark the location of a site (i.e. site datums); please note in the comment field if the site datum being recorded is natural, cultural, physical or arbitrary. Use “Cultural Materials” feature classes to document features and artifacts within the site boundary.
