About this file

This document is a pricing proposal from Aktarius, LLC, doing business as DAWSON-AKT, in response to Request for Proposal (RFP) BPM005438 for the Arizona Fish and Game Department. The proposal covers archaeological and archaeological recovery services for projects in Northern Arizona, specifically near Flagstaff and Young, Arizona.

The proposal includes detailed rate sheets for various archaeological labor categories, ranging from $24/hour for Laboratory Technicians to $86.36/hour for Program Managers. The pricing structure includes a 52% overhead rate and 10% profit margin. The document outlines three specific project scenarios: an archaeological survey of a 40-acre parcel, site recordation of a prehistoric site, and excavation of ancestor cremation and inhumation remains. Pricing for these services varies based on project complexity, with cost per acre ranging from $550 for small parcels to $75-$125 for larger areas. Additional direct costs include equipment rentals, per diem rates, and specialized analysis fees such as radiocarbon and pollen sample testing. The total project costs for the three detailed scenarios range from approximately $4,259 to $11,713, depending on the scope and complexity of archaeological work required.

Archaeological Survey Assumptions: Survey parcel of 40 acres near Flagstaff, AZ. We are assuming a site density of 25 sites per square mile. Survey area is AZ GFD managed land. The survey will take place between May and October and will be non-collection. A break down of these costs are provided below, as well as a range of cost/acre.

Number of Acres 0-10 11-40 41-200 200+ Cost per Acre* $550.00** $212 $125.00-$200 $75.00-$125

*These figures assume 25 sites per square mile, located in Northern Arizona, and are non-collection, on AZFGD managed lands.

**Due to the economy of scale, and ASM fees, there is a minimum cost of $5,500.00.
