PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

UNCOMPAHGRE FIELD OFFICE CULTURAL RESOURCES INVENTORY IN

GUNNISON SAGE GROUSE HABITAT, MONTROSE AND CRAWFORD COUNTIES,

COLORADO

PART 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General

This is a non-personnel services contract to provide Class III archaeological inventory. The

Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services

The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform Class III archaeological inventory as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

Complete an intensive Class III cultural inventory of public land administered by the Bureau of

Land Management Land, Uncompahgre Field Office in Montrose and Delta counties, near the town of Crawford, Colorado. The area of survey for this project will be defined as the routes being analyzed, with a 57.5 foot buffer on each side (115 foot wide) which will result in 967 acres of area for survey.

The intent of this archeological inventory is to identify, record, and evaluate cultural resources for their potential eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places to aid the BLM in resource management, compile cultural and paleontological data for future research, and to satisfy the BLM’s obligations to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Most of the roads were never formally aligned in ways beneficial to the landscape. As a result, most of the roads are poorly drained and intercept considerable water as they travel perpendicular to the natural contours on the landscape. Very little maintenance has ever been conducted on the roads. The roads have incised into the landscape and are drying the surrounding landscape by moving water efficiently off the landscape rather than giving it a chance to infiltrate deep into the soil profile. Habitat for Gunnison sage-grouse would be enhanced by providing cultural inventory for roads which would enable BLM to install rolling dips and lead out ditches on existing roads and reconnect water directly back to sagebrush habitats, increasing overall vigor of grass, forbs and sagebrush within Gunnison sage-grouse nesting habitat.

This performance work statement is for archaeological inventory to identify, record and evaluate cultural resources for their potential eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places to aid the BLM in resource management. Following the completion of field work the results will be prepared in draft and final report documents that include data synthesis of all cultural resources and analysis within the project area.

1.2 Objectives

• The intent of this archeological inventory is to determine potential eligibility to the

National Register of Historic Places by identifying, recording and evaluating cultural resource.

• Compile cultural and paleontological data for future research.

• Satisfy the BLM’s obligations to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

• The results will be prepared in draft and final report documents that include data synthesis of all cultural resources and analysis within the project area.

1.3 Scope - Class III cultural inventory.

Services include: Class III cultural inventory on the routes identified with a 57.5 foot buffer on each side and the total acres surveyed will be 967 acres. The contractor shall accomplish: pre-filed file search and records/literature review, an inventory and resource identification, draft report and site forms and a final report and site forms.

PART 5: SPECIFIC TASKS

5. Specific Tasks

5.1 Basic Services

The contractor shall provide services for Class III Cultural Inventory.

5.2 Task I: Pre-Filed File Search, Records/Literature Review

Due 4 weeks after contract award

Task I consists of completing a file search overview with a synthesis of data for known historic, ethnographic and archeological data that encompass the project area, and the area within one mile of the project boundary. This research is necessary to identify and compile all available known cultural data previously recorded and inventoried areas that includes recorded resources, isolates, and potential unrecorded resources to develop an interpretive narrative overview for understanding and writing the Literature Review of the project area.

Prior to starting fieldwork, the consultants must complete a records search of both the OAHP database, the UFO cultural resource files, and a review of the GLO historic maps. GLO historic maps are expected to be accessed online. The UFO archaeologist will assist with the field office portion of the records search.

Available existing cultural resource data shall include, but not limited to, Uncompahgre Field

Office cultural resource inventory records, Colorado State Institutional Archives, Repositories, listed properties in the State Historic Sites Inventory, National American Engineering Records, and Historic American Buildings Survey records, appropriate historic contexts, and the Colorado

Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation COMPASS cultural resource database. Other available sources of information may be obtained from, and not limited to, State and National

Registers, published and unpublished manuscripts, aerial photographs, General Land Office maps, Mining Ledgers, historical photographs, Museums and library reference material. Data gathered will then be used to develop a Literature Review overview of the project area for prehistoric, historic and potential traditional cultural properties (TCP’s). At the time of submitting this contract, no TCP’s in the project area have been identified by tribes during consultation.

After completion of the file search and Literature Review, the results will need to disseminate the gathered data within summarized tables, maps, photographs, narrative, or other informative formats. The Literature Review will consider explicit types of resources that might be encountered, and potential research questions based on prehistory, historic and ethnology of these areas, and surrounding region. All discussions will need to be accurately identified and referenced in the bibliography.

Previously recorded resources within one mile shall be presented in a table format. All sites shall be listed with their state trinomial number, site type, date recorded and the previous evaluation status of eligible, not eligible, or unevaluated/needs data to the National Register, and the report reference. Isolated finds and non-eligible resource data may remain in table format. National

Register eligible resources, and unevaluated resources, within and immediately adjacent to the

APE shall be further described in brief narrative detail as discussion points in support of the

Literature Review and anticipated inventory expectations.

A draft of this Literature Review shall be submitted to the COR prior to the issuance of a fieldwork authorization form. After review, the COR may suggest additional comments or directives to ensure a comprehensive overview and developed Literature Review.

5.3 Task II: Inventory and Resource Identification

5.3.1 Task II-A: Class III Inventory

Task II consists of completion of a Class III inventory, an intensive level cultural resource inventory within the specified survey area to locate and record new sites and isolated finds and previously recorded sites.

Fieldwork authorization: A fieldwork authorization must be submitted to the COR at least 5 days prior to start of fieldwork. It can be submitted via email (preferred) or can be submitted at the same time as the file search is conducted in the UFO.

The task will be conducted under the provisions of the BLM Colorado Cultural Resource Use

Permit and will conform to guidelines contained in the most current versions of the BLM

Colorado Handbook of Guidelines and Procedures for Inventory, Evaluation, and Mitigation of

Cultural Resources, the BLM-Colorado Digital Data Specifications Guide, the requirements in this statement of work, and the OAHP Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Manual.

The Contractor must locate the boundaries of the survey areas prior to commencement of the survey. Use of GPS units, benchmarks, 7.5 minute topographic maps, aerial photographs (where available), roadways and other landscape features, if needed, is required to ensure ground control and confidence in the inventory area and in the location of cultural resources.

An intensive pedestrian survey at transect intervals not exceeding 15 meters within the block survey areas will be conducted to identify and record all cultural resources. Actual ground examination should result in the identification and recording of all cultural resources observable on the surface and in exposed subsurface profiles.

Each field crew must be supervised in the field by a qualified crew chief and/or field director listed on the CRUP. A crew chief or field director must be on-site at all times.

The Contractor must notify the Contract Officer’s Representative (COR) or Project Inspector by telephone and with written confirmation immediately upon the discovery of human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony (as defined in 43 CFR 10.2) and must immediately stop any activities connected with such discovery and make a reasonable effort to protect the discovered remains or objects.

5.3.2 Task II-B: Recording and Evaluation of Cultural Resources

The Contractor must record each cultural resource identified following the BLM Colorado

Handbook of Guidelines and Procedures for Inventory, Evaluation, and Mitigation of Cultural

Resources, the BLM-Colorado Digital Data Specifications Guide, the requirements in this performance work statement, and the OAHP Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Manual.

The NRHP evaluations will be completed for all previously recorded sites. Care will be taken in coordinating the site numbers when previously recorded sites are re-located to assure that the correct site number are used since they may have associated curated collections. Original site numbers for these sites will be retained as much as possible even though expanded recording may reveal a much larger site area than originally documented.

When re-mapping previously recorded sites, new maps should build off of earlier site maps.

Feature and structure numbers from earlier maps should be carried forward to the new map. New features or structures will be numbered to follow the last number.

The full extent of sites will be intensively recorded, even if sites extend outside the survey area

(record portions of sites outside survey areas).

To refine or complete National Register eligibility recommendations, evaluative testing (soil probing, trowel testing, auger testing, or shovel testing) will be conducted at all sites where the contractor is unable to determine site eligibility based on surface evidence. This evaluative testing during field recording should be used to determine the potential for subsurface cultural deposits and the site boundary, as needed. Evaluative testing should not exceed three (3) square meters of site surface. Testing locations should also be shown on the site map. The level of testing should not be conducted in a manner that impacts or destroys information that contributes to the sites eligibility. Criteria used to determine properties potentially eligible for the NRHP must be substantive, objective, and stated in the report.

Potentially eligible sites will be tested to determine site depth potential, integrity and eligibility wherever possible. The “Need Data” determination should be applied sparingly and only in those cases where both surface evidence and limited testing yield ambiguous results. Previous determinations of “Need Data” will be resolved.

Scaled site maps will include detailed drawings of site features, structures, locations of diagnostic artifacts, artifact concentrations, boundary, topography of the site area, as well as nearby developments or distinctive landforms (roads, power lines, well pads, canyon rims, etc.).

Locations of disturbance and the nature of disturbance will be indicated on the site map. The location of the site tag will be indicated on the site map. Any mapped item not specifically described in the map key will be individually labeled on the map.

A current assessment of site condition will be made for each site in terms of impacts from natural processes (erosion), human processes (looting/vandalism, commercial development, recreational use-motorized or other, chaining), or livestock impacts, as per OAHP management data form items 33, 34, and 35.

A GPS unit will be used to record precise site boundaries and isolated find centroids. See BLM-

Colorado Digital Data Specifications Guide (revised 9/2015).

High quality digital images (300 dpi or highest resolution setting) will be taken for use with the site forms. One site overview photo is required. Photos will be taken for unusual or diagnostic isolated finds.

Artifact collection is not authorized, however if the contractor determines artifact collection is necessary the COR is to be contacted and will collect the artifact on behalf of the consultant if deemed warranted. In-field ceramic and lithic analysis necessary to determine site function and chronology will be completed using current standard published typologies (see below).

Lithic materials will be identified to include the material type, the debitage type (core, primary, secondary, tertiary, angular debris), or the tool type. Diagnostic projectile points will be drawn and photographed and included with the site documentation. Chapter 8 of the “Crow Canyon

Archaeological Center Laboratory Manual, Version 1,” (Ortman et al 2005) is a recommended reference for material type identification.

5.4 Task III: Draft Report and Site Forms

Task III: Draft Report and Site Forms

Due 6 seeks after completion of field work.

A single digital copy of the draft report, site, isolated find, and BLM travel route assessment forms will be submitted to the COR. The report, site, and isolated find forms must include the

BLM and SHPO report numbers The BLM will provide the BLM project number. OAHP project and site number must be obtain directly from directly from OAHP using the new templates.

https://sites.google.com/state.co.us/oahp-resource-center/forms-guidance/requesting-numbers

The draft final report will include a detailed description and evaluation of all sites visited during the survey, recommendations on National Register eligibility, a discussion of site impacts observed, and site management recommendations. The evaluations should be made in the context of previous investigations and findings in the general area, and research questions for the region.

All sites brought forward as “Need Data” will include a detailed discussion of how field testing was conducted and why field testing was inconclusive and specific recommendations for additional evaluative testing to determine eligibility. The site management recommendations must take into account the current site condition based on disturbances observed while conducting the field work.

Sites will be displayed on maps as polygons (site boundaries rather than site centroids). Site maps will include the following citation: Disclosure of site locations prohibited (43 CFR 7.18).

All site forms, including site revisit forms, must have at a minimum of one photograph showing the general site location with a horizon.

Cultural resources will be recorded on the appropriate OAHP forms, following OAHP form instruction and guidance. The Contractor shall use the latest updates of the form available at the time of report preparation.

Sites documented prior to 2000 will be completely re-recorded on Colorado OAHP component forms. Sites recorded after 2000 can be documented on an OAHP revisit form as long as no significant changes to the site are observed.

An OAHP revisit form will be completed for previously recorded sites that cannot be relocated, for documentation purposes.

A UFO travel route assessment form will be completed for each site in the survey areas (both newly and previously recorded). A Travel Route Assessment form is to be used, in lieu of OAHP revisit form, to document site condition and to note any travel related impacts (e.g., Appendix 7 of the Travel Management Plans PA between BLM CO, the CO SHPO, and the ACHP). The

BLM will provide a copy of the form prior to fieldwork.

Site, isolated find, and survey GIS data (shapefiles) that meet the current BLM-Colorado Digital

Data Specifications Guide will be submitted via shared drive.

BLM Review of Draft Report

Due 3 weeks after receipt of draft report, the BLM will submit a review of the draft report with comments and/or corrections to the contractor, which must be addressed in the final report.

5.5 Task IV: Final Report and Site Forms

Due 3 weeks after receipt of BLM draft report comments.

Task IV consists of writing the draft report, GIS data and draft attachments. This task consists of data synthesis of the results from previous Tasks to develop the Final Report. The report will reflect all fieldwork results accomplished during this contract and should require minimal editing to produce the Final Report. OAHP site forms, figures and maps are referred to as attachments and should also be in a draft state that requires minimal editing before the final attachments are delivered.

One hard copy of the final report, site, and isolated find forms addressing all changes and corrections identified from the draft report review will be submitted to the PI. Digital copies of the final report, site and isolated find forms, BLM travel route assessment form, photos, and shapefiles of site, isolated find, and survey area locations that meet the current BLM-Colorado

Digital Data Specifications Guide will also be submitted to the COR via a shared drive. Hard copy site forms are to be separate from the report (do not bind the report and site forms together).

The BLM retains ownership of, and all rights to, all artifacts collected, records, data, maps, drawings, photographs, samples, artifacts, GIS products, automated data bases, or other products.

These items cannot be used by the Contractor without written permission from the BLM.

5.5.1 BLM Final Report Review

Due 10 days after receipt of final report.

Upon receipt of the final report the COR shall have 10 calendar days to review the final report for acceptance or resubmission. If any revisions are needed, the contractor will have 10 calendar days from submission of final comments to resubmit the final report.

Original site numbers for these sites will be retained as much as possible even though expanded recording may reveal a much larger site area than originally documented.

When re-mapping previously recorded sites, new maps should build off of earlier site maps.

Feature and structure numbers from earlier maps should be carried forward to the new map. New features or structures will be numbered to follow the last number.
