Green Peter/Foster Cultural Investigations

Solicitation W9127N-16-Q-0055

Questions and Answers #1

1. Several Green-Peter Foster sites (Menear’s Bend and GP Billings Boat Launch) say they will “need to be monitored with formal site update”. Do we actually need to do monitoring of plantings/etc… or do they mean we just need to document/update them?

Answer: When a historic property is monitored all relevant data is gathered and the site form updated.

2. Is some actual disturbance requiring in-field construction monitoring going to occur? If so, what is schedule and duration for any such monitoring?

Answer: No, we do not need in-field construction monitoring and there is no planned disturbance. We only need known cultural sites re-visited and the site forms updated.

3. Is it to correct to assume that the [15] newly recorded sites estimate excludes previously documented sites requiring updates, or known but undocumented sites that may require updates or fully recording? And, therefore, the known documented and undocumented sites are to be accounted for in our cost estimates in addition to the [15] newly recorded site and 10 isolate estimates?

Answer: The previously recorded but not submitted sites are part of the proposed newly identified sites to be recorded. The sites with trinomials, which are sites that have been submitted to SHPO are to be monitored with a site update.

4. The SOW for the Green Peter/ Foster project area list approximately 5 historic and precontact unevaluated sites, in addition to evaluation of the Legacy Contamination site construction spoils deposit. Are these sites to be accommodated in our cost estimate in addition to the [15] new sites and 10 isolates.

Answer: Foster / Green Peter lists 3 sites not previously submitted (F-5-H, F-7-H, and F-10-H) and two sites that will need to be monitored (35LIN39 & 35LIN77). Only those sites not previously submitted are to be part of the newly recorded site estimates.
