CONTRACTOR FURNISHED ITEMS AND SERVICES

4. Contractor Furnished Property and Services

4.1. General. The Contractor shall furnish all supplies, equipment, facilities and services required to perform work under this contract that are not listed under Section 3 of this PWS.

PART 5

SPECIFIC TASKS

5.1. Basic Services. The Contractor shall provide services for NHPA Archaeological and Architectural surveys to include Phase I Archaeological site detection surveys, Phase II Archaeological site evaluations, and Architectural evaluations.

5.2. Tasks.

5.2.1. Phase I Archaeological Survey. The contractor shall provide services for survey and identification of archaeological sites.

5.2.1.1. Background Search. Prior to conducting survey fieldwork, the contractor’s Principal Investigator (PI) shall review existing reports of archeological and historical contexts at Fort Campbell and its immediately surrounding area. Sufficient studies shall be performed to determine what cultural resources are known or likely to be located within the project or study area and to assess the type, extent, and validity of previous cultural resources studies in or pertinent to the project area.

5.2.1.2. Field Methods. Archeological Site Detection Survey: Shallow shovel-testing and visual inspection. Survey shall be organized according to the use of surface survey transects and shovel tests covering 100% of the surveyed area. In addition, visual observation of 100% of the survey area shall also occur. Field observations shall note and record any features or artifacts that may be visible between the transect lines and any indications of archeological deposits that may be exposed in road cuts, stream beds, or any other surface exposure. Notes of these observations shall be kept, as well as those specifically related to shovel test results. All measurements shall be recorded using metric terminology; English system equivalents will be recorded parenthetically.

5.2.1.2.1. The maximum for spacing of survey transects is 20 meters. The maximum for spacing shovel tests along transects is also 20 meters. Sample loci at specific shovel test locations may be recorded as “not dug” if the test location in question is such that a shovel test would be impossible to dig. Use of lands for agricultural fields, wildlife food plots, logging or similar cultivation, as well as tall grass/weeds, briar thickets, and/or other vegetation, shall not be considered sufficient disturbance for purposes of justifying not digging a specific shovel test. Contractor may need to use hand tools or mechanical means (i.e., weed trimmer) to clear shovel test site and/or a pathway to the site, and shall coordinate with the Fort Campbell Cultural Resources Program Manager (CRPM) prior to clearing any site/pathway. Decisions not to dig a shovel test at a specific location along any transect shall be described and justified by the PI and reported to Fort Campbell Cultural Resources Management personnel on no less than a weekly basis throughout the duration of fieldwork.

5.2.1.2.2. The fieldwork will include a shovel test is a test, 30-centimeters square test or an equivalent area in a circular test. The depth of each shovel test shall be to a minimum of 75 centimeters below surface unless the test reveals bedrock, disturbance into culturally sterile subsoil, or deposits at shallower depths that preclude the possibility of more deeply buried human cultural deposits. Soils excavated at each shovel test shall be screened through a mesh no larger than ¼ inch. Excavations shall be promptly backfilled following the investigation.

5.2.1.2.3. Deeply Buried Deposits and Geomorphology. A professional geomorphologist or geoarchaeologist shall be consulted when assessing project areas that include areas of substantial alluvial, colluvial, or aeolian deposition to assist in the identification of landforms that are most likely to contain intact archeological deposits. The geomorphologist and/or geoarchaeologist shall assist the field archaeologist in devising appropriate sampling strategies based on the types of landform/sediment assemblages in the project area. Areas that are determined to have the potential for intact, deeply buried, deposits will be notated in the GIS deliverables and noted in the report.

A recommendation of additional research needed to evaluate the site’s research potential will be developed by the geomorphologist and/or geoarchaeologist and be included in the draft and final reports.

5.2.1.3. Fieldwork Documentation

5.2.1.3.1. A field journal shall be maintained during the survey that describes a chronological record of the project’s progress, daily work efforts, and Contractor’s observations, impressions, and recommendations. Sample shovel test logs are available from Fort Campbell upon request. A log of all shovel test locations shall be kept that records at a minimum the following information:

5.2.1.3.1.1. Specific location in either latitude/longitude or correlated to a delivered GIS file

5.2.1.3.1.2. Depth of excavation

5.2.1.3.1.3. Contents recovered including artifact concentration contexts

5.2.1.3.1.4. Soil characteristics, including depths of significant changes in soil horizons and Munsell data

5.2.1.3.1.5. Extent of disturbance, man-made or natural

5.2.1.3.1.6. Date of excavation

5.2.1.3.1.7. Excavator

5.2.1.3.2. Progress Reports During the Field Effort. The contractor shall provide written updates (Progress Reports) to the CRPM. The updates shall include a discussion of survey coverage; both shovel testing and visual inspection, and general field methods and results. Any planned shovel tests not excavated shall be described and the reason for avoiding survey shall be justified. Additionally, the update shall include the number of possible sites and isolated finds, the number of sites where field documentation has been completed, and the number of sites still requiring documentation. Progress reports shall include the dates of the reporting period and be issued in numerical order (i.e. Progress Report #1). Progress reports shall be submitted 10 days after the end of each reporting period.

Estimated reporting period is weekly.

5.2.1.3.3. Survey Area Maps. The contractor shall compile project maps depicting the survey area and the survey transects. Every shovel test shall be recorded with a sub-meter accurate GPS unit. This information shall be used to clearly show the placement of transects and shovel test locations within the survey area, indicating which shovel test locations discovered artifacts or features, which did not, and in which locations an expected shovel test was not dug due to circumstances excusing it. Survey Area Transect maps both printed and as GIS files should be submitted separate from, but at the same time as the draft and final reports.

5.2.1.4. Archaeological Site Identification.

5.2.1.4.1. Isolated Find. The operational definition of an archeological site for the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of Kentucky is two (2) or more artifacts or a single artifact in association with a feature. Those artifact/feature distributions that are not recognized by the SHPO as a site shall be classified and reported as an isolated find. Tennessee has no set policy on Isolated Finds. Potential isolated finds in the state of Tennessee will have to be coordinated with the CRPM and the Tennessee Site File. The contractor shall coordinate with the appropriate State division of archaeology to determine what site numbers are used.

5.2.1.4.2. When a positive shovel test is identified radial shovel tests shall be excavated at 10-meter by 10-meter in cardinal directions in order to delineate the site / loci.

5.2.1.4.3. Site Boundary. The boundary of an archaeological site shall be delineated by two (2) consecutive negative shovel tests, topographical features, or a combination of both. If the site likely expands out of the project survey boundary, additional shovel testing is not required. For sites that extend out of the project boundary, the PI will determine if there is a likelihood of the site extending out of the survey boundary and include this in the site description. If a newly discovered archaeological site is immediately adjacent to a previously existing archaeological site, the PI will coordinate with the Fort Campbell CRPM to determine the appropriate course of action.

5.2.1.4.4. At least one (1) larger test unit, (50-centimeters x 50-centimeters at a minimum) shall be dug in a controlled manner at each identified site to document the representative stratigraphy and to document which strata contain cultural deposits or features. Where the shovel tests indicate that different portions of the site have strata that differ in relative depths by more than 20 centimeters from one (1) test to another, additional larger test units shall be employed to adequately document the range of variation in stratigraphy. The larger test units shall be dug according to the natural and cultural strata, with arbitrary levels employed only within natural or cultural strata that exceed 10 centimeters in depth. For sites with a revised boundary greater than five (5) acres, additional Test Units (TU) will be required. Larger sites will require at a minimum one (1) additional TU per five (5) acres of size.

5.2.1.4.5. A permanent site datum shall be established and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates utilizing a GPS unit with sub-meter accuracy shall be recorded for the datum. The datum shall also be referenced to a well-defined permanent topographic feature or a permanent United States Geological Survey (USGS) benchmark where possible. A site map or maps shall be drawn at scale utilizing, at minimum, a GPS unit with sub-meter accuracy. The site maps shall record all shovel tests (including those of negative findings used to establish boundaries) cultural and natural features of the site, and any significant disturbances.

5.2.1.4.6. Photographs shall be taken of the general site and setting, and of all visible cultural and natural features at the site.
