1.0 GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. The Contractor shall provide cultural resource technical services throughout the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific area of responsibility (AOR), and other areas in the NAVFAC AOR worldwide as needed. The Contractor shall supply all labor, transportation, tools, equipment, materials, supplies, supervision, coordination, and management necessary to provide safe and effective cultural resource technical services throughout the AOR, but primarily in Hawaii, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), and Asia. All work conducted under this contract shall conform to the statutes, regulations, instructions, and guidelines provided in Attachment J-1 Reference Documents of Section J.

1.2 REGULAR WORKING HOURS. The Government’s regular working hours vary by activity and are typically between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays except Federal holidays and other days specifically designated by the Contracting Officer.

1.3 HOLIDAYS. Federal holidays are as follows: New Year’s Day, Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

2.0 SPECIFIC TASKS.

Cultural resource technical services required under this contract relate to several different types of tasks to be conducted in accordance with commonly accepted professional archaeological and historic preservation standards. In the absence of instructions from the Contracting Officer or designated COR, work conducted under this contract shall conform to the provision of the documents listed in Attachment J-1 Reference Documents of Section J. For each task, the Contractor will be responsible for ensuring that appropriate clearances and permits are obtained prior to commencement of fieldwork. The types of tasks include, but are not necessarily restricted to, the following:

2.1 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY: PHASE I RECONNAISSANCE. The purpose of Phase I archaeological reconnaissance surveys conducted under this contract will be to find, preliminarily record, and report archaeological sites within designated survey areas. This task will be overseen by a professional Archaeologist (FR Vol. 62 (119):

33707-337231 dated June 20, 1997). Sufficient background research shall be conducted to identify known archaeological resources and to identify potential types and density of archaeological resources expected within designated survey areas. Archaeological reconnaissance surveys will be conducted in sufficient intensity to reasonably find all historic properties (as defined in the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing rules and regulations) that may be visible on the surface of the ground. This applies to areas of rugged terrain, areas with heavy vegetation cover and limited visibility, and areas with more open terrain. The method and spacing of transects and the level of recording and reporting will be determined through the negotiation of individual Scopes of Work for each contract Task Order.

Preliminary recording shall include:

- Site locations shall be geographically referenced on a topographic map using precise methods and technologies such as global positioning system instrumentation with sub-meter accuracy.

- Site descriptions shall include, at a minimum, the approximate dimensions, number of associated features, morphological type, and if evident, function, surface artifacts present, cultural affiliation or occupational period, vegetation, and ground surface visibility.

- Illustrations shall include, at a minimum, a sketch map or photograph of each feature and a site plan view map indicating the geographical relationship of all the features within the site.

- Description of site integrity in terms of the degree to which it resembles its prehistoric or historic appearance, including physical materials, design features, aspects of period construction style, and the degree to which remaining evidence can provide specific data that address important regional research questions. Integrity evaluations should take into consideration the seven (7) aspects of integrity including location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Historic integrity enables a property to illustrate significant

8b aspects of its past, and is a composite of the seven (7) qualities listed above. Some aspects of integrity will be more important than others depending on which National Register criterion/criteria the property is eligible under and its character defining features. The integrity of archaeological resources is generally based on the degree to which remaining evidence can provide important information. All seven (7) qualities do not need to be present for eligibility as long as the overall sense of past time and place is evident.

- Determinations of site significance shall follow the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and apply the criteria of eligibility for the NRHP listing as stated in 36 CFR Part 60. Sites determined eligible for the NRHP shall include a detailed narrative explanation of why a site is significant (incorporates description of integrity as indicated above), including a statement of significance as described in National Register Bulletin 16A (pp. 45- 48), and identification of character defining features. Likewise, sites determined not to be eligible for listing on the NRHP shall have robust narrative justifications for why integrity is not met, and/or why the National Register criteria are not met.

Phase I reconnaissance survey reports will be prepared in accordance with Attachment J-2 Outline for Draft Final and Final Archaeological Reports and Attachment J-3 General Deliverable Specifications in Section J, and will address the general project background, physical environment, anticipated archaeological findings, survey findings, and the context and condition of sites. Phase I reconnaissance reports will also make suggestions for further research.

2.2 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY: PHASE II DETAILED RECORDING/INVENTORY SURVEY. The purpose of Phase II archaeological surveys under this contract will be to conduct detailed recording and reporting of those cultural resources found during previous studies, including Phase I surveys, and during Phase II itself.

This task will be overseen by a professional Archaeologist (FR Vol. 62 (119): 33707-337231 dated June 20, 1997).

The Contractor shall collect sufficient data to enable the evaluation of all historic properties in terms of the criteria of eligibility for NRHP listing as stated in 36 CFR Part 60. Phase II surveys include subsurface testing, such as shovel tests, backhoe trenches, and controlled excavation units, as a standard procedure by which to determine the presence and nature of subsurface cultural deposits that may be present in the survey area. Data collected during subsurface testing shall be sufficient to characterize the nature of all major deposits and strata, regardless of cultural content, and to discuss their known extent through vertical and horizontal space.

Detailed recording shall include, at a minimum:

- Documentation of site locations including site boundaries and feature locations. Site boundaries and feature locations shall be geographically referenced on a topographic map using precise methods and technologies such as a global positioning system instrumentation with sub-meter accuracy.

- Site descriptions shall include, at a minimum, horizontal and vertical site dimensions, number and type of associated features, morphological type, function, surface and subsurface artifacts present, cultural affiliation or occupation period, vegetation, ground surface visibility, subsurface testing results, and available chronological data such as results from relative or absolute dating techniques.

- Illustrations shall include, at a minimum, a scale map of each feature within the site, and a site plan view map drawn to scale indicating the geographical relationship of all features within the site.

- Photographs shall minimally be taken of each feature and site encountered using a north arrow and scale;

extraneous materials, such as backpacks and water bottles, will be positioned out of the photograph.

- Description of site integrity in terms of the degree to which it resembles its prehistoric or historic appearance, including physical materials, design features, aspects of period construction style, and the degree to which remaining evidence can provide specific data that address important regional research questions, as stated in the project research design. Integrity evaluations should take into consideration the seven (7) aspects of integrity including location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Historic integrity enables a property to illustrate significant aspects of its past, and is a composite of the seven (7) qualities listed above. Some of these aspects of integrity will be more important than others depending on which National Register criterion/criteria the property is eligible under and its character defining features. The integrity of archaeological resources is generally based on the degree to which remaining evidence can provide important information. All seven (7) qualities do not need to be present for eligibility as long as the overall sense of past time and place is evident.

- Determinations of site significance shall follow the NHPA, and apply the criteria of eligibility for the NRHP listing as stated in 36 CFR Part 60. Sites determined eligible for the NRHP shall include a detailed

8c narrative explanation of why a site is significant (incorporates description of integrity as indicated above), including a statement of significance as described in National Register Bulletin 16A (pp. 45-48), and identification of character defining features. Likewise, sites determined not to be eligible for listing on the NRHP shall have robust narrative justifications for why integrity is not met, and/or why the NRHP criteria are not met.

Phase II survey reports will be prepared in accordance with Attachment J-2 Outline for Draft Final and Final Archaeological Reports and Attachment J-3 General Deliverable Specifications in Section J, and will contain detailed discussions of the project background, physical environment, previous archaeological and historical research, anticipated findings, research methods, detailed descriptions of identified cultural resources, maps or photographs for each resource, a detailed description and analysis of the nature and findings of subsurface testing, a detailed description and analysis of all recovered artifact and midden materials with appropriate illustrations, and a discussion section that looks at results from the survey and provides a synthesis of findings along with the associated interpretation. Preliminary evaluation of the site significance in terms of 36 CFR Part 60 criteria shall be presented as a separate, stand-alone component of the draft report. The Government may request that site significance evaluations be included with, or incorporated into, the final report.

2.3 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SUBSURFACE TESTING. This task is designed to identify subsurface archaeological resources and is often conducted during data recovery. This task will be overseen by a professional archaeologist (FR Vol. 62 (119): 33707-337231 dated June 20, 1997). Subsurface testing is used to define the vertical and horizontal extent of these resources, and/or to recover substantive information from archaeological sites by use of subsurface excavation techniques. This includes the preparation of a Subsurface Testing Plan or Data Recovery Plan, planning and digging controlled excavation units, laboratory analysis of collected materials, and preparation of an Archaeological Subsurface Testing report or Data Recovery Report in accordance with Attachment J-2 Outline for Draft Final and Final Archaeological Reports and Attachment J-3 – General Deliverable Specifications in Section J. These documents will contain detailed discussions of the project background, physical environment, previous archaeological and historical research, anticipated findings, research methods, detailed descriptions of identified features and cultural materials, plan maps, photographs, and sediment profiles, a detailed description and analysis of the nature and findings of subsurface testing, a detailed description and analysis of all recovered artifact and midden materials with appropriate illustrations, and a discussion section that looks at results from the excavation and provides a synthesis of findings along with the associated interpretation.

Subsurface testing projects may range in size and scope from the exploration of relatively small areas of only a few meters in diameter or linear extent, to extensive testing such as along the linear corridors of pipelines, and to broad areas of potential or known archaeological deposits (such as stabilized sand dunes). Testing may include the use of trowel tests, shovel probes or shovel skims, hand excavations, coring or other environmental sampling techniques, and the use of backhoes or other mechanized equipment. Data collected shall be sufficient to characterize the nature of all major deposits and strata regardless of cultural content, discuss their known extent through vertical and horizontal space, and enable significance evaluation in accordance with the NRHP criteria in 36 CFR Part 60.

2.4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONITORING. The primary purpose of archaeological monitoring conducted under this contract is to minimize or mitigate adverse effects to archaeological resources during construction and other ground disturbing activities. This task will be overseen by a professional Archaeologist (FR Vol. 62 (119):

33707-337231 dated June 20, 1997). The archaeological resources encountered during monitoring are usually underground and may or may not have been known to exist before ground disturbance.

The archaeological monitoring task includes the identification, recording and analysis of archaeological resources as well as non-cultural, recent historic and modern deposits, during construction or other ground disturbing activities. Data collected shall be sufficient to characterize the nature of all major deposits and strata, regardless of cultural content, discuss their known extent through vertical and horizontal space, and permit the evaluation of the resource in terms of the NRHP criteria in 36 CFR Part 60.

The Contractor may be required to prepare an Archaeological Monitoring Plan prior to fieldwork. Monitoring plans shall include project and project area description, reason for monitoring, anticipated findings, fieldwork

8d methods to be used, treatment of resources encountered, and methods of recordation. This plan will be reviewed and approved by the Government before being implemented.

The Contractor may be required to perform data recovery should artifacts and/or human skeletal remains be inadvertently discovered during monitoring projects. Data recovery should follow the facility’s standard operating procedures (SOPs) on such an occurrence as well as follow NAGPRA regulations as appropriate. The Contractor should plan for a base number of inadvertent finds being made based on the previous archaeology and history of the area. Data recovery work should not extend beyond what is necessary to ensure any remains within the footprint of the construction are properly addressed.

An inventory of skeletal remains found during the monitoring project should be kept with a basic profile of the remains being made by a qualified Physical/Biological Anthropologist or Osteologist. Information in the profile includes but is not limited to the skeletal element found, percent of skeletal element found, probable age and sex of individual, and any non-metric observations made. A formatted database with all requested fields will be sent to the contractor to insert the information then submit with the draft and final monitoring report. The submitted data will be added to a compiled NAGPRA database to be used for repatriation of the remains.

Monitoring and resource locations will be geographically referenced on a topographic map using precise methods and technologies such as global positioning system instrumentation with sub-meter accuracy.

Archaeological monitoring report(s) shall be prepared in accordance with Attachment J-2 Outline for Draft Final and Final Archaeological Reports and Attachment J-3 General Deliverable Specifications of Section J, and will contain a discussion of the reason for monitoring, specific methods and techniques used, deviations from the monitoring plan, detailed findings, site descriptions, results of laboratory analyses, and a discussion section that looks at results from the monitoring and provides a synthesis of findings along with the associated interpretation.

2.5 ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY SURVEY: RECONNAISSANCE-LEVEL. The reconnaissance-level survey (RLS) is intended as a visual assessment that identifies the general distribution, location, and nature of historic built environment resources in a defined area. RLS may be used to establish the boundaries for future intensive-level survey. This task will be overseen by a professional Architectural Historian, and/or Historical Architect, as defined in FR Vol. 62 (119): 33707-337231 dated June 20, 1997.

The RLS collects information from the exterior of resources only as visible from accessible areas, such as the sidewalk in front of a building. It also includes historical research into the broad context of the defined area. This level of survey includes no or very minor historical research into individual historic built environment resources.

RLS consists of walking around the defined area, noting the general distribution of historic built environment resources and groupings such as neighborhoods or land use areas (e.g., industrial, commercial, and recreational).

At a minimum, RLS will provide the following information for each resource:

- Location, including street address where available.

- Observable current use.

- Estimated date of construction.

- Description of physical characteristics and style(s).

- Note of any observable non-historic alterations.

- Statement of significance that ties the observable physical characteristics with the broad historical context of the area, and includes:

o Evaluation of the seven (7) aspects of integrity per 36 CFR Part 60.

o Evaluation of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C

(36 CFR Part 60). (The level of research conducted under RLS is not sufficient to effectively evaluate for eligibility under Criteria A, B, or D.)

- A minimum of three (3) photographs to capture all visible facades, plus any character-defining details worthy of illustration.

- Completed historic property inventory form with available information as required by the relevant State Historic Preservation Officer.

8e

The RLS report shall be illustrated with photographs and include maps of all surveyed resources that show their locations and contractor evaluations based on this level of research, such as age categories (e.g., World War I, World War II, and Cold War era resources) and/or recommendations of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (e.g., Eligible vs Not Eligible). The report must also include a table summarizing results for each of the surveyed resources. Each historic property inventory form will also be attached. A geodatabase with the locations of the survey area and surveyed properties will be delivered with the RLS report.

This deliverable will follow requirements in section 2.25 Geographic Information Systems.

2.6 ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY SURVEY: INTENSIVE-LEVEL. The Intensive-Level Survey (ILS) involves a detailed assessment of the historical significance of an individual or group of resources based on in-depth research and analysis. This task will be overseen by a professional Architectural Historian and/or Historical Architect, as defined in FR Vol. 62 (119): 33707-337231 dated June 20, 1997. The field portion of ILS involves thorough visual inspection and photography of each resource’s exterior and may also include interiors. Historical research includes the broad contextual background required for RLS as well as focused research into each resource’s design and construction, use over time, and ownership history. Sources of this information can include but are not limited to agency records, government and private archival materials, and oral histories.

In addition to the information required of RLS, ILS will provide, at a minimum, the following information for each resource:

- Use and ownership history.

- Accurate dates of construction and alterations.

- Name(s) of architect, engineer, and/or builder when available.

- Historic and/or common name of the property when available.

- List of character-defining features.

- Detailed statement of significance that ties the relevant historical research collected about the resource to the broader historical themes and context of the area, using National Register Bulletin 16A as a guide.

This statement shall include a thoroughly supported:

o Evaluation of the seven (7) aspects of integrity per 36 CFR Part 60.

o Evaluation of eligibility for listing in the NRHP under all criteria and applicable criteria considerations per 36 CFR Part 60.

- A minimum of six (6) current photographs of all visible facades, plus additional photographs of character-defining details.

- Historical maps and photographs when available.

- Complete bibliography.

- Completed historic property inventory form as required by the relevant State Historic Preservation

Officer.

ILS may result in recommendations for defining historic districts, cultural landscapes, or other more broadly-defined categories such as historic resource management areas as defined in a Performance Work Statement. Any historic districts identified by an ILS will include recommendations for contributing and non-contributing resources as outlined in National Register Bulletin 16A. Recommendations will be fully supported by associated research.
