PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

TITLE: GREEN PETER / FOSTER PROJECTS CULTURAL INVESTIGATIONS

1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District intends to conduct an archaeological inventory of proposed projects within the Green Peter and Foster Project areas. USACE is responsible for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). USACE 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. As part of this responsibility, USACE has a requirement to inventory the area for cultural resources.

Work outlined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) includes a task for archeological inventory. The archeological inventory includes approximately 57.4-acres at the Green Peter Project and 98.8 acres at the Foster Project area (See Attachment 2 for survey area maps).

The study area for both Foster and Green Peter is located in Linn County, OR. There are seven project areas that will be inventoried under this contract. Legacy Contamination sites, operation and maintenance areas, and the Billings Road Boat Launch will be inventoried in the Green Peter project area. The following will be inventoried within the Foster operation and maintenance areas: Quarry / Stuart Prairie, Menears Bend; culvert replacement at the Old Mudflat Road; and routine recreational areas at Foster Boat Ramp at Wiley Park and Shea Point. There are five previously recorded archeological sites within the study area, two formally recorded, and three unsubmitted. The sites are listed below:

Site Type Description NRHP Status F-5-H Historic Historic debris Unevaluated F-7-H Historic Homestead Unevaluated F-10-H Historic Homestead Unevaluated 35LIN39 Precontact Lithic Scatter Unevaluated 35LIN77 Precontact Lithic Scatter Unevaluated

1.1 Project Specifics are included below:

The Legacy Contamination site and operations and maintenance consists of approximately 50.9-acres, located in Township 13 South, Range 2 East Section 10. Legacy contamination sites are left over construction spoils from dam construction and pre-1970 household trash, and should be inventoried with consideration for recordation as an archaeological site, if they meet the 50 year age requirement.

The legacy contamination site will be excavated and removed; if a site is present it will not be avoided;

therefore, recommendations for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places should be provided as well as recommendations for mitigation, if applicable. Maintenance activities includes road repair and stabilization of landslides.

Green Peter Project Billings Road Boat Launch area is approximately 6.5-acres located in Township 13 South, Range 2 East Section 10. Previously recorded site 35LIN77 is located within the survey area and will need to be monitored with a formal site update within the SHPO database.

Foster Project’s Quarry/Stuart Prairie project area is approximately 27.3-acres located in Township 13

South, Range 1 East Section 22. The Quarry Stuart Prairie project includes removal of invasive plants, mowing, culvert replacement and the conversion of an old road to a foot trail.

Foster Project’s Shea Point project is area is approximiately 18.7-acres located in Township 13 South, Range 1 East Section 26. The proposed work includes routine recreation operations and maintenance, pulling logs and debris from lake / marina area. Two sites (F-7-H and F-10-H) have been identified within the Shea Point project area, but not formally recorded or submitted to the State Historic Preservatio Office (SHPO). Draft data will be provided to the KTR for formal recordation and submission.

Foster Project’s Wiley Park project is area is approximiately 5.6 acres located in Township 13 South, Range 1 East Section 27. The proposed work includes routine recreation operations and maintenance.

Foster Project’s Menears Bend project area is approximately 27.1-acres located in Township13 South, Range 2 East Section’s 29 and 32. The project includes mowing and invasive plant removal. There are two sites within the project area, 35LIN39 and temporary site number F-5-H. Under this contract Site 35LIN39 will need to be monitored with a formal site update within the SHPO database and temporary site F-5-H has not been formally recorded and submitted to the SHPO. Draft data will be provided to the KTR for formal recordation and submission.

Foster Project’s Mudflat Road project area is approximately 10.4-acres located in Township13 South, Range 1 Section’s 24 and 25, and Township 13 South, Range 2 East Section 19. The project includes replacement of failed culvert, reduce erosion, and vegetation planting.

Foster Project Operations and Maintenance area is approximately 8.7-acres located in Township 13

South, Range 1 East Section 27. The project area is routinely maintained through road maintenance, storage and s tagging areas, stockpiling of logs and woody debris.

1.2 Project Area Conditions.

Inventory may be conducted in a reservoir environment where the field crew may encounter mucky field conditions and areas of dense marsh grasses or reed canary grass. Upland areas of the Foster and Grean Peter Projects are the majority of the inventory, which may include dense grassy areas and uneven ground. The Legacy Contaminiation sites have had preliminary testing for PCB’s and other chemicals, which are negative.

However, HAZMAT contaminates may be buried on site. How the Contractor (KTR) plans to work through these conditions should be identified within the KTR’s project proposal for work; identifying crew safety as well as field inventory processes.

2.0 Definitions. Throughout this PWS terms are defined as follows:

Acceptable Quality Level (AQL): Acceptable Quality Level equals the performance standards. The Contractor must re-perform all unsatisfactory work unless excused by the QAE.

Contracting Officer (KO): The Government employee who is authorized to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings.

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR): The Government employee who has been authorized in writing as the Contracting Officer’s Representative, acting within the limits of their authority.

Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE): The Government employees responsible for checking Contractor performance.

Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR): A written record of unsatisfactory performance by the contractor as observed by the Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE).

Willamette Valley Project (WVP): The destination of where the contract is to take place.

3.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED ITEMS AND SERVICES

All pertinent GIS data.

Current Legacy Contamination reports and findings.

4.0 CONTRACTOR FURNISHED ITEMS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The KTR shall furnish all personnel and “standard-to-the-industry” equipment, materials, and supplies necessary to perform the work, including but not limited to the following:

Field Vehicles.

Field Equipment.

All field materials necessary for the successful completion of cultural resource survey tasks.

All computer hardware, software, and office supplies required for recording, mapping, drafting and delivery of assigned task products.

All GPS instruments shall be properly adjusted, calibrated, and capable of providing sub meter accuracy. Any instruments, equipment or materials deemed unsafe, incapable of, or unsatisfactory for performing the required work shall be replaced immediately.

5.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND REQUIREMENTS.

The Contractor (KTR) shall furnish all materials, equipment and labor necessary to perform the requirements of this PWS. Performance requirements are presented below.

5.1 WORK PLAN.

Within 7 calendar days after receipt of award for this Contract, the KTR shall develop a Work Plan. The Work Plan will be used as a base to discuss methodology and procedures at the Kick-Off meeting (see Task 5.2.1).

Plan will be used as a base to discuss methodology and procedures at the Kick-Off meeting (see Task 5.2.1), which includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Matrix of all KTR and subcontractor (Sub-KTR) personnel on this project, their roles and responsibilities, including all review personnel;

Project objectives and a plan on how to meet those objectives;

Information on project organization; and

Project schedule based on completion date requirements. The schedule shall include all work items, milestones, durations, predecessors, source materials and study requirements, data delivery dates, completion dates, deliverables, review processes including all during requirements for responses, and all coordination activities. USACE will review and provide comments within three calendar days after receipt. The KTR shall submit a final schedule within three calendar days after receipt of Government’s comments.

Quality Control Plan (QCP) will be included as an element of the Work Plan. The QCP shall address each task above, outlining quality control and quality assurance procedures that shall ensure that the Secretary of Interior Standards and the Oregon State Historic Preservation Officer standards for archaeological inventory are met.

5.2 Tasks.

5.2.1 Task 1: Kick-Off Meeting.

The KTR shall schedule a mutual date and time for a kick off two hour teleconference meeting with the Technical Lead (TL) prior to the start of work. The purpose of the kick off meeting is to clarify tasks and methods, set a schedule, and to minimize issues or problems that might arise over the course of the contract.

Kick off meeting will review Work Plan, see PWS paragraph 5.1.

5.2.2 Task 2: Field Work.

The KTR shall conduct an archeological surface survey of up to 437 156.2 acres in accordance with the Department of the Interior Standards for Identification and OR SHPO fieldwork (http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/ARCH/docs/Master_Final_FieldGuidelines_January2016.pdf). Linear resources will follow the 2013 OR SHPO Guidelines for Recording and Evaluating Linear Cultural Resources (http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/SHPO/docs/ORLinearResourcesGuidancev2.pdf). Reporting standards (state standards) are listed in task four below. The KTR shall record up to 25 15 newly discovered archeological resources and up to 10 isolated finds. A map depicting the survey areas are included in Attachments 2. The KTR shall not exceed 437 156.2 acres. The survey is strictly a pedestrian survey below the high water mark or maximum conservation pool level. Subsurface excavation is not authorized under any circumstance.

Survey shall be conducted where surface visibility is adequate (i.e. greater than 20% ground surface visibility) and where survey is feasible (slopes less than 30%, safe for pedestrian survey access). Transect intervals shall be no greater than 20 meters in high probability areas. USACE considers high probability areas those areas identified during the records search or field survey that could contain archeological deposits, or where surface archeological materials have been observed. Any deviation from state standards needs to be coordinated and approved by the TL Point of Contact (POC) and Contracting Officer (KO), and should be adequately explained and justified in the survey report (e.g., nature of field conditions, ground surface visibility, slope, landforms, etc.). Transect intervals may be increased at the Field Director / Principal Investigator’s discretion in areas that exhibit hydric soils, or are low probability. Discussion of areas surveyed greater than 20 meters will need to be included within the report. If the KTR encounters low surface visibility in a high probability area, and believes shovel testing is necessary, the KTR shall show these areas on maps in the survey report and provide recommendations for areas that should be shovel tested in the future.

In areas where ground visibility is less than 20% shovel scrapes may be utilized. Shovel scrapes should be 1 x 1 meter in size and conducted within a survey transect at 20 – 30 meter intervals. Scraps should only lift the duft layer. Duft layer should be replaced where removed.

The Legacy Contamination site is located on a slope that is 30% or greater; it is accecible and will need to be recorded. KTR should coordinate access to the site with the Willamette Valley Natural Resource staff and the Portland District Archaeologist. Due to the remoteness of the site, recordation should include recommendations of eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places.

Crew Chiefs and Surveyors shall be capable of the following:

a) Rigorous physical exercise.

b) Working in extreme weather conditions and rough terrain.

c) Appropriate responses to health and safety situations.

The KTR shall utilize qualified Crew Chiefs and Surveyors who are experienced in conducting intensive pedestrian surveys and who can apply field survey methods and techniques according to current OR SHPO standards and the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and Guidelines, (http://www.cr.nps.gov/local-law/arch_stnds_9.htm). The Field Director / Principal Investigator is expected to directly supervise survey in the field for at least 25% of the field work, in order to ensure compliance with the standards and guidelines.

Crew Chiefs shall plot daily survey transect locations on field maps, record daily observations in field notebooks, identify and describe historic and prehistoric artifacts and features, complete site and isolated find forms, record site boundaries using sub-meter global positioning system equipment, and record survey areas and sites using digital photography. Survey crews shall map areas surveyed, areas not surveyed and reason, and identify areas of high probability that may contain cultural resources but are inaccessible because of current conditions.

The Crew Chiefs shall maintain handwritten notes in a field notebook that includes the date, transects and intervals, information about area surveyed, names of Surveyors, and what was observed during daily survey efforts (e.g., vegetation, cultural materials and archaeological sites, man-made developments, disturbance etc.). A photograph log shall be maintained for all photographs taken during the survey effort. The log sheet shall contain columns for the date, photographer name/initials, subject matter, aspect, film/digital frame numbers and roll number (as appropriate).

For the purposes of this PWS, it is estimated that up to 25 15 new archaeological resources will be recorded and up to 10 isolated finds. Work shall be performed only on those sites, or portions of those sites, located on Corps land where access has been approved; however, where portions of sites extend beyond the contracted survey area, this shall be noted on site documentation.

Crew Chiefs and Surveyors shall complete individual maps (e.g., pace and compass field maps) of all newly recorded sites. These maps shall contain a scale, north arrow, legend, date, basis of bearing, name of individual responsible for the map, and temporary site number. KTR shall also point provenience diagnostic artifacts, features, and artifact concentrations within the site map. The maps shall contain critical elements present such as vegetation, shoreline, slope, probable site boundary and areas of development and/or disturbance. These maps should be included in site forms, as well as in the final report.

Crew Chiefs and Surveyors shall conduct preliminary site evaluations considering site information recorded in the field using the National Register of Historic Places significance criteria. The preliminary site evaluations shall be conducted by qualified personnel meeting the Secretary of Interior’s Standards and shall be recorded on the site forms. Evaluations shall be fully justified no matter whether the recommendation is “eligible”, “not eligible”, or whether “additional information is needed to make the evaluation determination (i.e. testing or research of existing curated collections)”. The placement of a site in a “needs testing” category should not be used as a catch-all; rather placement of a site in this status requires rigorous justification. The justification statement, including a site condition assessment as it relates to depositional integrity under Criterion D of the National Register of Historic Places, shall be included on the site form.

Digital data collection by electronic instruments and equipment shall be utilized to the fullest extent possible.

Crew Chiefs and/or Surveyors shall capture Global Positioning Systems (GPS) positions at transect start-finish points at enough frequency to establish survey boundaries for all areas surveyed. The GPS positions documenting site boundaries shall be polygons. All GPS data shall be downloaded and corrected frequently throughout the field effort to ensure data preservation. GPS data shall be corrected and converted into shape files and provided to the TL digitally at the completion of fieldwork. The KTR shall also provide raw and corrected GPS data. The KTR shall provide Geographic Information Systems (GIS) site boundaries and survey area boundaries shown on United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps submitted in the final report.

The KTR shall coordinate with the TL regarding the need to cross private landowners and/or ad-joiners land to access federal lands proposed for survey if they cannot be accessed by road. The need to cross private land is not anticipated at this time. The KTR has the right to enter and conduct necessary survey and site recording activities on all Corps lands. However, the KTR must coordinate with the TL to insure that the Corps Willamette Valley Project personnel are notified when survey crews are working within Corps Project boundaries.

Crew Chiefs and Surveyors shall note all cultural items observed but not formally recorded on field maps (i.e., items that may be approaching 50 years of age). Text describing all cultural items not formally recorded and any associated photos and maps shall be included in field notebooks and the final report.

All information generated during field surveys (e.g., handwritten notes, field maps, field notebooks, logs, etc.) shall be submitted to the TL at the completion of all project tasks.

A “no collection/excavation” policy shall be followed. If single artifacts are observed outside of known site boundaries and they are not in danger of loss or damage, they shall not be collected and shall be recorded as isolated finds (e.g., field map location, GPS position, local condition description, etc.). However, if a diagnostic artifact(s)/features are in immediate danger of loss or damage the KTR shall contact the TL and KO to discuss collection options, if necessary. Those artifacts approved for collection shall be collected but only after all readily available and pertinent provenience data on each item is recorded (e.g., field map location, GPS position, local condition description, etc.), and the District Archeologist has coordinated with the appropriate Tribe(s) that the item is not considered sacred or a potential funerary item. The KTR will notify the TL as soon as possible if excavation is required to remove artifacts/features in danger of loss. An assessment of the situation will be made to determine the best course of action, including whether any excavation will be done. If it is determined by USACE that excavation is the best course of action the KTR will receive approval from the KO prior to excavating or removal of any items. The reason(s) for collection shall be noted as part of the data accompanying each artifact and as part of the site form and final report. The artifacts will be transferred to Corps prior to contract expiration; or shall be prepared for curation by the KTR.

Excavation and curation will be conducted under a contract modification.

NOTE: If the actual number of newly recorded sites exceeds 25 15, or newly recorded isolates exceed 10, the KTR should take a GPS point and note the find. The KTR should contact the TL and KO to inform them of the additional resources. USACE will make a decision at that time, to either modify this contract or not.

If human remains are discovered on Corps land, they shall not be disturbed but protected in place. The Contractor shall immediately notify a Corps District Archeologist (Mike Flowers 503-808-4762, Dan Mulligan 503-808-4768, Tara Gauthier 503-808-4754, or Sally Bird-Gauvin 503-808-4778). USACE will follow identified internal procedures to address the situation. (This will include notifying appropriate Indian Tribes, law enforcement, and Coroner’s or Medical Examiner’s offices.) If the remains are determined to be Native American, USACE will comply with the terms of its Inadvertent Discovery Plan and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

5.2.3 Task 3: Site Forms.

KTR shall prepare all new site forms and site update forms in accordance with OR SHPO survey and reporting standard guidelines (Link below). KTR is responsible for submitting documentation to OR SHPO, as stated in the SHPO standards, for new site trinomial numbers and providing those trinomials within the final report.

5.2.4 Task 4: Draft Report.

The report will be clearly marked DRAFT throughout and shall include: front matter (title page, executive summary, tables of contents, figures, plates, tables, and appendices); body of report (introduction, basic research design, methods, environmental overview, cultural context, results of investigations including acreage surveyed, site descriptions, number of new sites recorded, and number of previously documented site records updated, recommendations for future site management, conclusions, and references cited); and appendices (USGS 7.5’ map sheets showing survey areas and sites, UTM coordinates for sites, photographs of survey areas, photographs of diagnostic artifacts, etc.).

The executive summary shall include survey results, major findings, and statements of National Register significance for identified and recorded cultural resource sites, and proposed management recommendations.

The cover of the report shall include USACE contract number and also a statement indicating: “Work funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers”.

Text materials shall be typed on bond paper, 8.5 inches by 11 inches with a 1.25-inch binding margin on the left side, .75 inch on the right side, 1 inch at the top and 1 inch at the bottom. Larger graphics may be submitted on 11 x 17 inch paper.

All pages, photographs, tables, etc. shall be consecutively numbered throughout the report and where applicable, shall have titles and appropriate explanatory notes. A Draft Report shall be submitted, along with draft GIS data, and draft site forms, to the TL for review and comment.

The Report shall adhere to requirements of the Oregon SHPO survey and inventory guidelines are located at the following website address:

http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/ARCH/docs/Reporting_Guidelines_FINAL.pdf (http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/ARCH/Pages/index.aspx). On-line site forms and instructions are located at the following website address:

http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/ARCH/docs/online_site_form_for_field.pdf

5.2.5 Task 5: Final Report.

KTR shall address Government comments and submit Final Report, GIS Data, and Site Forms in both hard copy and digital media format. The final report, any final site forms not previously submitted and appendices incorporating the Government’s comments shall be submitted within 30 calendar days of receipt of Government comments. Five bound hard copies shall be submitted, and one unbound hard copies with the appropriate SHPO cover page shall be submitted. Two sets of CDs electronic copy of the report with site records in PDF formats shall be submitted on two compact disks neither disk shall be a copy of the other, one disk shall contain the report and site forms and one disk shall contain the GIS data). Note: The pdf file shall have all graphics, maps and appendices included in the file.

6.0 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY

6.2 Non-compliance

The QAE will notify the COR and the KO of less than acceptable 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 the contact requirements, at no increase in contract amount.

When the defect(s) in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:

• Require the contractor to take necessary action to ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements;

• Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed; or

• 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:

- 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;

- Issue Cure Notice;

- Terminate the contract for Government convenience; or

- Terminate the contract for cause.

6.3 Surveillance

Periodic inspection, 100% inspection and processing of complaints received from project personnel or stakeholders will serve as the surveillance methods under this contract. If the COR discovers deficiencies and/or receives complaints, the COR will pass them on to the contractor's Quality Control Inspector (QCI) for correction.

6.4 Quality Control

The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective quality control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify and prevent defective services.

6.4.1 Quality Control Program

The contractor’s quality control program (QCP) is the means by which he assures himself that his work complies with the requirement of the contract. In the case of this contract, the QCP is considered to be the contractor’s draft plan detailed in PWS paragraph 5.2.2.

6.4.2 Quality Assurance

The Government shall evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the contractor has performed in accordance with performance standards detailed in the Performance Requirements Summary found in PWS paragraph 6.0 and charted in the Performance Requirements Summary Table found in Attachment 1. The QASP defines how the performance standards shall be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s).

6.5 Correction of Non-Performance of Work

Contractor shall employ an adequate quantity of personnel to insure that any area 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 noncompliance has been observed by or reported to and verified by the COR.

6.6 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.

6.7 Interference with Government Operations

Contractor and their employees shall perform all work in such a way as to not interfere with regularly scheduled Government operational activities.
