STATEMENT OF WORK

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

1.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK and PROJECT LOCATION NORTH

1) Perform approximately 3623 acres of cultural resource survey, utilizing a maximum of 30 meter wide pedestrian transects, within the survey parcels shown on Map 2, the project area map (shapefiles of survery parcels are available). The project is located at: T26N R8E (Sections 10-11, 14-16, 21-24, 26-29, 33-35) and can be located on the Dixie, ID (1995) 7.5’ topographic map.

2) Record all new cultural resources found, update 26 previously recorded sites, and evaluate each new/updated cultural resource for its National Register eligibility on a new site form. The project area is known to posses many historic mining related sites and features. Additionally, numerous historic mining sites and features are anticipated to be located and in need of documentation. At this time, there are no prehistoric/precontact Native American site types known to occur in the proposed project area.

3) The results of the above field work are to be included in both a draft and final professional inventory report and site forms summarizing all aspects of the inventory, site-update work, findings, and relevance for greater archaeological interpretation/association and scientific understanding.

The survey area is located in and around the community of Dixie, Idaho approximately 80 miles SE of Grangeville, Idaho. The Dixie Work Center area is about 5 miles southwest of Dixie as shown on Map 1. The project area is characterized by relatively thick lodgepole pine forest with ocassional dense brush vegetation and some mineral soil visibility. Travel time from Grangeville to the project area (Dixie, Idaho) is approximately 2 ½ hours. Road and trail access is shown on Map 1, the project vicinity map. Road access to the project area is relatively good (Road 222, 222 D and 9527). Other portions of the project area can be accessed by Forest Service trail #210.

2. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The Contractor shall perform the work in accordance with relevant professional standards. General requirements of the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office can be found at (http://history.idaho.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/Consulting_With_Idaho_SHPO.pdf). The contractor must also meet the 36 CFR Part 61 qualifications to perform this work. The draft deliverables will consist of one unbound paper copy of the report/maps and one unbound paper copy of each site form and associated attachments. The final deliverable will consist of two bound paper copies, two copies of each site form and/or update form, and one pdf digital copy of all reports and associated attachments (including any GIS shapefiles generated for the project). Photographs depicting the survey conditions of the project area are also needed (item 15 below). These photographs and accompanying photo log shall be placed into a word document and included with the draft and final reports.

Other Idaho SHPO and general contract requirements include:

1) All photographs of cultural sites shall be embedded within the site form document.

2) Photographs must be labeled with the site #, object of photo, date of photo, camera direction, name of photographer, name of project and picture #.

3) A photograph log must accompany each site form. Only photographs relevant to that specific site shall be shown on the photograph log for that site.

4) Final site form submittals (2 copies for each site form) must be stapled including the photo sleeves.

5) Site forms can only be printed on one side of an 8 ½” x 11” page (no duplex printing).

6) All reported UTM coordinates must be based on the NAD83 projection.

7) All site forms will have a map showing the site location on a 1:24,000 scale USGS quadrangle map. That map will state the appropriate USGS quad, township/ranges, a north arrow, as well as legibly show the site location. A legend on each map will clearly identify objects on the map as needed.

8) Site sketch maps should show relevent cultural and natural features drawn to scale including the following:

· Location of site datum (do not create datums by nailing tags/placards to trees or driving datums into the ground). Please identify what the datum is within the body of the site form.

· Location of all identified cultural features

· A north arrow

· At least one labeled contour line depicting the topography of the site area (more contour lines are welcomed as needed)

· A map legend identifying items on the sketch map

· The site number

· The date of the site visit in the field

· other general environmnetal/topographic features can be provided in general schematic form. See figures 1 and 2 for examples of unnaceptable site maps

9) All site recording/updating will be reported utilizing the Archaeological Survey of Idaho site form (Microsoft Word version available). When plotting sites on USGS quads for the site/inventory reports please plot the actual size/boundary of the site (i.e. do not simply put a small point on the map for a large, irregularly shaped site, or use a small point to show the location of a site that is actually 5 acres in size. Any site less than approximately 40,000 sq. feet in size can, however, be represented as a simple point on the map.

10) Measurements used to record historic sites shall be yards/feet/inches etc, and metrics used to record precontact period sites shall be meters/centimeters etc.

11) Contemporary or historic trails (including currently used Forest Service trails) will be recorded as cultural resource sites. Only that portion of a trail located within the general survey boundary need be recorded (i.e. if the trail extends outside of the survey area the contractor need not follow the trail to its end unless they elect to do so).

12) Transect survey directions for each and every survey parcel must be shown on the survey map generated as a part of the draft/final report.

13) Please do not report/characterize survey work utilizing Class I, II or III jargon.

14) When portraying surveyed areas on a map please use light hatching or other means to show area surveyed, but do so in a way whereby the underlying landform can still be discerned (e.g. don’t use opaque coloring on the survey map such that the underlying contour lines/landform cannot be seen).

15) Photos depicting the general survey condition of the project area are required. These photographs can be placed into the inventory report or an appendix therein as noted above.

16) Maps showing large project areas should be printed at the 1:24:000 scale and folded to fit a 8 ½” x 11” folder. That same fold-out map should also be printed out on as many 8 ½” x 11” separate pieces of paper as needed to show that information portrayed on the large fold-out map (SHPO requirement).

17) The format for reporting inventory results will be that approved by the Idaho SHPO. See “Idaho SHPO Survey Report Template” at: http://www.history.idaho.gov/site-inventories

18) An ARPA permit will be required at no cost to the contractor. The permit must be fully executed before fieldwork begins.

19) Resumes/vitaes of all field personnel must accompany the final report.

20) No collecting of surface artifacts is authorized under this contract unless the Principal Investigator determines them to be in imminent danger of destruction. The contractor shall meet the qualifications found in Appendix A of 36 CFR Part 61.

It is important to note that all submissions MUST follow the above standards or the work will be returned to the contractor for correction. Neither the Forest Service nor the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office will provide clerical services for the purposes of completing these contract requirements.

The offeror is cautioned that the listed provisions may include blocks that must be completed by the offeror and submitted with its quotation or offer. In lieu of submitting the full text of those provisions, the offeror may identify the provision by paragraph identifier and provide the appropriate information with its quotation or offer.

FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS (48 CFR CHAPTER 1)

52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Items (JAN 2017) Quotations should contain the quoter’s best technical and price terms. The Contracting Officer may reject any or all quotations. The Contracting Officer may issue a purchase order to other than the quoter with the lowest priced quotation. It is the Government’s intent to award without holding discussions. Technical Packages should be submitted initially on the most favorable terms, from a price and technical standpoint, which the quoter can submit to the Government. After the evaluation of quotations, the Contracting Officer may negotiate final terms with one or more quoters of the Government’s choice before issuing any purchase order. The Contracting Officer will not negotiate with any quoters other than those of the Government’s choice and will not use the formal source selection procedures described in FAR part 15.The government will evaluate information based on the following evaluation criteria.

Technical Package addressing the following evaluation factors and subfactors:

1. Technical Approach. Describe how you will perform the work required by this solicitation. Include a detailed description of your approach and staffing to accomplish the identified tasks and articulate how this specific approach will produce a superior product. Include the name and educational background of those people who will actually perform the work described in the technical proposal, as well as their specific role in the performance of the stated work. Quoters submitting only a general form letter (void of a detailed technical proposal) which simply describes the overall storefront services their company performs will not be considered for award.

2. Past Performance. List all similar projects performed in the last 5 years by those persons who will be performing this work, including the name and telephone number of the client representative. If problems were encountered on any of these contracts, describe them and the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence. We will assess your history of cooperation with clients and compliance with State and Federal laws, timely performance, and client satisfaction. Quoters with no relevant past performance will receive neither a positive nor a negative evaluation for this factor. Quoters who submit general resumes/vitaes without specifically stating which experience shown is relevent to the current solicitation will not be favorably rated.

(3) Price. Prices submitted in the Schedule of Items will be evaluated for reasonableness. The Government reserves the right to screen the quotes on price and those quotes determined to be so unreasonably high as to have no chance for award will not be evaluated further.

*See FAR 52.212-1 Commercial Items (Addenda).docx for further information.
