PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Bergen Site Research and Relocation

GENERAL STATEMENT

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) (Agencies) are jointly responsible for compliance with Section 106 of 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 Section 106 of the

NHPA.

The Burke Museum houses the Dr. Harold Bergen collection. The collection, including site reports, maps, photographs, and over 14,000 artifacts, represents decades of work in Oregon and Washington by Dr. Bergen and his wife, Marjory Bergen. Dr. Bergen recorded many sites providing them with his own site number, and are sometimes referred to as the Bergen Sites. Included in the contract are 25 Bergen sites within The Dalles and John Day Projects. This contract includes an optional task for two sites in the Lower Monumental Project, Walla Walla District.

The objectives of this PWS include:

• Provide a brief history of Dr. Bergen’s work on the Columbia River;

• Identify and assess the Bergen sites and determine if they are associated with recorded site trinomials;

• Confirm site locations using forms, historic aerials, and records from the Burke Museum;

• Field verify the site locations when possible; and

• Update and submit site forms to SHPOs office.

Attachments are included at the end of this Performance Work Statement.

Surveillance. 100% inspections by the COR will serve as the surveillance methods. If the COR discovers deficiencies and/or receives complaints, the COR will alert them to the contractor for correction.

Quality Control. The Contractor, not the government, is responsible for quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The contractor shall develop and submit a Quality Control Plan (QCP) for Government approval within ten (10) calendar days after award. Once accepted, the QCP will be incorporated into the QASP. The QASP is not a contractual instrument and may be changed at the COR’s discretion. The contractor shall use the QASP to guide and document the implementation of the required management and quality control actions to achieve the specified results. The Government reserves the right under the Contract Terms and Conditions-- Commercial Items (FAR 52.212-4) to inspect and test the services called for by the Task Order, to the extent practicable at all times and places during the term of the Task Order. The Government will reject non-conforming services.

Unacceptable Performance. When performance is determined unacceptable, as defined in the Performance Requirements Summary, the COR will inform the contractor that performance is unacceptable and provide written documentation by use of the Form DD 2772, Contract Discrepancy Report. By initialing and dating the form, the contractor is only acknowledging notification of unacceptable performance. Disputes in surveillance should be referred to the Contracting Officer.

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.

Correction of Non-Performance of Work. Contractor shall employ an adequate quantity of personnel to ensure that any services found to be not in compliance and therefore not acceptable, shall be made acceptable by the performance or re-performance of the work, where such re-performance is possible, during the first business day after non-compliance has been observed by or reported to and verified by the COR.

Correction of Unsatisfactory Work. The COR maintains the right to reject any work that is found to be in error, incomplete, illegible, or in any way not conforming to the specifications outlined in the contract in accordance with FAR Clause 52.246-4. The Contractor shall be liable for all costs in connection with correcting such errors. Corrective work may be performed by Government forces or by Contractor forces at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

Damages Caused by the Contractor. Contractor shall be held accountable and liable to the Government for any damages to government facilities, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, or grounds caused by the Contractors or their employees.

Attachment 1 – GIS Data

BPA GIS Specification for FCRPS Cultural Resources Program Data; Updated 5/15/17

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 below for GIS data dictionary for a list of required fields, field definitions, and values. This data dictionary is not intended to represent all of 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 specifications1 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 below.

1b. GIS Data Formatting GIS Deliverable requirements:

Geodatabase Format: Tabular fields will be populated with information as specified in the GIS Data Dictionary. All feature class names, field names, and value choices must match the naming conventions in the 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. Questions about appropriate projection should be directed to Caroline Rouwalk at cerouwalk@bpa.gov.

GIS Metadata Format:

There are twelve 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).

GIS Data Dictionary Field definitions for cultural resource geodatabase. Highlighted fields should be filled out while fieldwork is being conducted.

Site Feature Classes; Site_Poly, Site_Pt, Site_Ln

(Used to define site boundary during initial documentation and subsequent updates associated with condition assessment monitoring and /or resurvey. Also used to document evaluation field methods. Use “Cultural Materials” feature class to document features and artifacts.)
