HISTORY OF DREDGE UPLAND PLACEMENT SITES AND AN

EXAMINATION OF IN-WATER RESOURCES OF THE

COLUMBIA RIVER FROM RIVER MILE 3-106.5

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

This is a non-personal services contract to provide a research document to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District (Corps). The Government shall neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the Government assign tasks to, or prepare work schedules for, individual contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. If the contractor believes that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to notify the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) immediately.

1.1 Description of Services: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, other items, and personnel services necessary to provide the Corps a document of the history of historic and archaeological resources associated with dredging, in-water placement, and upland dredge material placement sites in the Lower Columbia River (the Project). Several placement sites are man-made by-products of dredge placement, while other sites have been expanded by dredge placement. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Objectives: The goal is to have a comprehensive cultural resource background research document with maps that provides historic and archaeological context to the multiple upland placement sites, the dredging of the navigation channel, and in-water placement locations. Work outlined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) includes background research, literature review and historic documentation of 24 placement sites within the Lower Columbia River corridor from the mouth of the Columbia River to Portland, OR, river miles 3-106.5 (See Exhibit 1). In addition, it is also the goal to have a better understanding of the submerged archaeological and historic resources in the river that could be impacted by dredging or in-water placement of dredge material. The Corps works closely with interested and affected Tribes, Oregon State Historic Preservation Office and Washington States Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation office (herein after SHPOs), and other agencies for cultural resource management in compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA. Placement sites to be examined are listed in Exhibit 3 of this PWS, along with the river mile location and State. GIS data is also included for the sites on the table as well as the length of the river to be examined for in-water resources.

The project area is the main stem of the Columbia River from river mile 3-106.5. This includes the Columbia River channel and its associated riverbanks and landforms where dredge material is placed. The project is located along the border of both Oregon and Washington States, stretches across several counties, and includes a deep water placement located off the coast of Washington in the Pacific Ocean.

The project includes 24-upland placements sites, unknown in-water placement sites, shipwrecks, and a Pacific Ocean 9,000 acre area deep water placement site. Literature should also identify areas of potential resources other than Corps' dredge placement sites, including submerged archaeological or historic sites within the Columbia River channel.

Research will be conducted in an indoor environment. It will involve the research and use of historic aerial imagery and other historic photos, previous archaeological survey reports, dredge material placement history, records provided by USACE such as environmental documents, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), other shipwreck database systems to identify in-water resources, and any other records that can provide a historic context for the dredge placement sites and the river channel between river mile 3-

106.5. The final product will be a comprehensive report documenting the history of the individual placement sites from the first time identified as a dredge placement site unto present day with any cultural or historic property information and maps, and an in-depth narrative and maps documenting the in-water resources of the Columbia River from river mile 3-106.5.

iv. Oregon SHPO Office Database (Not an online resource, contact Dennis Griffin at SHPO for more information or Jaci Wells at the Corps)

Some of this information can be found at the local USACE office in coordination with the district archeologist, TL, and operations/maintenance.

The Contractor shall document in the Draft and Final report answers to the following questions: Has the placement site ever been surveyed for cultural resources? What was found? Are there archeological or historic property sites in the placement area? Are they evaluated for National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility? Where are they located? Is there an existing site number, and what is it? Is the placement site natural or man-made (i.e. made from the placement of dredge material over a prolonged period of time)? Based on the historical information, is there a chance that the placement site could have intact cultural resources? Is an inventory needed? How has the placement site changed or developed over the years? What resources are located in the river? Are they NRHP eligible? Do they have site numbers and what are they? Have they been impacted by dredging or placement based on the records? Could future dredging or placement cause harm to these sites/resources? Can these sites in the river be identified for easy avoidance in the future? Are there any documented resources in the deep-water site? What are they?

The entire river from River Mile 3-106.5 and the deep-water site should be examined for known in-water resources including shipwreck, archeological sites, historic sites, or any other type of cultural resources with a one mile buffer either side of the river corridor. These resources should be identified and placed on maps with GIS information provided. Additionally, bathymetry and aerial photographs should be used to identify potential resources that are not previously recorded, for example, unknown shipwrecks. These locations will also be marked on a map with GIS shapefiles provided and if unable to be identified, shall be marked as “unknown.”

5.3.1 Draft GIS Data and Mapping: The Contractor shall geo-rectify all historical aerial photos and historical maps of the placement sites to determine the change over time. The Contractor shall use current bathymetry data to identify resources within the river that could be affected by the in-water placement and dredging. The Contractor shall produce a series of 1:24,000 scale maps on topographic backgrounds for the report; the maps will include placement site location, cultural resource site location, shipwrecks, and any other potential cultural resource. The Contractor shall provide a digital copy of all of the data and documents on compact discs. The Corps will provide a data dictionary (contact Vanessa van der Borg Vanessa.vanderBorg@usace.army.mil) to properly categorize the data which will include placement site shapefiles, cultural resource/historic property shapefiles, shipwrecks, other resources within one mile of the placement sites, the federal navigation channel, and in-water placement sites.

The data contained on the discs will include but is not limited to: the geo-rectified historic aerial photographs and maps for the individual placement sites, shapefiles of the placement sites and cultural resource sites, shipwrecks, other water resources locations, cultural site shapefiles within one mile of the project areas, and any other pertinent locational information or maps. The data must be compatible with ArcMap 10.4.1.

2) Any quotation received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of quotations is late and will not be considered unless it is received before purchase order issuance and the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late quotation would not unduly delay the acquisition.

3) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that quotations cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of quotations by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of quotations will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

e) Issuance of purchase order. Quotations should contain the quoter’s best technical and price terms. The Contracting Officer may reject any or all quotations.
