1.0. GENERAL

This an Example Project for a non-personal services, firm-fixed priced Task Order (TO) to provide Phase I Survey and National Register Evaluation of archaeological sites at Camp Desert, New Mexico (a fictitious Army Installation). The Project is geared to inventory areas that have a high probability of mission activities occurring and helps the installation in complying with Section 106 and section 110 of the NHPA of 1966. The Project is intended to build on previous efforts and result in a comprehensive inventory of historic properties in the selected areas on Camp Desert relevant to all cultural periods; the Project will also make final determinations of eligibility for all recorded sites.

Unless otherwise specifically stated, the Contractor shall furnish all labor, management, travel, supplies, equipment, materials, and vehicles to perform the following work (detailed task requirements are in Section 5.0):

1. Perform a Phase I archaeological inventory of 3,000 acres and evaluate all recorded sites in compliance with the New Mexico Cultural Resources Information System 2018 Guidelines NMCRIS standards;

2. Perform a complete recording of 30 new sites and make NRHP eligibility recommendations, including any necessary Phase II subsurface testing. NRHP eligibility testing is required to follow the NMCRIS standards;

3. Collect diagnostic artifacts and curate them according to established NMCRIS standards and consult with the Laboratory of Anthropology in Santa Fe for curation guidelines;

4. Prepare and submit project plans (including Work Plan, PMP, etc);

5. Prepare and submit fully completed state site forms and any required attachments;

6. Prepare and submit a professional technical report describing, among other requirements, the results of that work in paper and electronic formats in accordance with New Mexico SHPO requirements;

7. Prepare and submit all other required deliverables (including GIS data, data analyses, and project notes);

8. Rehabilitate previously collected artifacts and prepare for storage.

The Contractor shall comply with applicable Federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and guidance; and perform all work in accordance with these requirements and any applicable agreements.

Accordingly, the Contractor shall establish effective quality control to assure that the end product meets professional standards and complies with the contract requirements. The Contractor, its subsidiaries, affiliates, or associates shall not release any information regarding the project to technical societies, news media, or the general public without obtaining permission from the KO.

Personnel performing work under the TO shall possess training, certification(s) and experience commensurate with the work they will perform and level of responsibility they will exercise.

2.0. INTRODUCTION

Camp Desert is a fictitious Army Installation located in New Mexico. The location and significance of sites dating from the Paleoindian period (ca. 13000 B.P. to Late Formative (ca. AD 1400) to the Cold War is largely unknown. Lack of knowledge concerning the location and significance of these sites can cause regulatory delay and problems in conducting the military mission at Camp Desert. This lack of knowledge could have adverse effects on the eligibility of these sites for the National Register (PL89-665 as amended; 36 CFR 60; 36 CFR 800). Phase II testing will be required on those sites that need more detailed analysis to assess their National Register eligibility status. Those sites that are determined eligible by this work are to be reported to the Camp Desert CRM and the installation will nominate sites to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Project will assist Camp Desert in compliance with Section 106 and Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

3.0. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to conduct a Phase I Survey and National Register Evaluation of archaeological sites on a 3,000 acres area at Camp Desert which require:

The Contractor shall review relevant files at the New Mexico Archaeological Records Management System files, and available Camp Desert records. This will ensure that sites are not recorded with a different LA number.

5.1.4. Contractor Manpower Reporting

In accordance with FAR 4.1703, Section 743(a)(3) of Division C of Public Law 111-117, Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) and the Revised Department of Defense Contractor Manpower Reporting Initiative, the contractor shall report required information for Services Contracts meeting specific thresholds and that are within four (4) prescribed Product Service Codes (PSCs). Contractors must log into their SAM profile accounts at www.SAM.gov to perform the contract reporting (also reference the SAM Quick Start Guide for Service Contract Reporting).

SAM receives contract information from FPDS-NG and will enable reporting for entities with contracts that meet the required reporting thresholds and will auto-populate much of the required information for reporting. After logging into the SAM account, the Contractor will select ‘Entity Registration’ and then select ‘Service Contract Reporting’. SAM will display the entities which have service contracts and meet the reporting criteria. Next, select ‘View by Entity’ to see the service contracts for each entity, then select ‘Add’ for the service contract against which a Service Contract Report is to be created. The Contractor will then be taken automatically to the Complete Service Contract Report page. SAM automatically retrieves and displays the contract information.

The required information to be entered is:

a. Total Amount Invoiced: Total dollar amount invoiced for services performed during the previous Government fiscal year under the contract (this amount should include the prime and any subcontract amount).

b. Prime Contractor Hours Expended: Prime Contractor direct labor hours expended on the services performed during the previous Government fiscal year. The amount you enter is automatically divided by 2,080 to calculate a Full Time Employee (FTE) equivalent, displayed under the Prime Contractor Hours Expended as a Prime Contractor FTEs.

c. Tier 1 Subcontractor Information: Report any required Tier 1 subcontractor information by selecting the ‘Add Tier 1 Subcontract Information’ button.

Click ‘Submit’ once the report is completed. This saves the report and returns the user to the ‘Select Service Contract’ page where another report can be created, or an existing report can be edited.

Any previously completed report can be edited as frequently as necessary until the end of the reporting period by selecting ‘View/Edit’ for the selected report.

Reporting must be completed annually by October 31 for each services performed under applicable services contracts during the preceding Government fiscal year (October 1-September 30) and a copy of the report shall be submitted to USACE: 1st annual report (Deliverable 4a) and 2nd annual report (Deliverable 4b).

5.2. TASK 2 – Conduct Archaeological Investigations. The Contractor shall conduct a Phase I archaeological survey in referenced zones/parcels in accordance with NMCRIS standard. The total acreage for archaeological survey is a 3,000 acres area that is relatively flat with minimal changes in elevation (less than 40 foot). The Project location is typical for the area with no access restrictions. The Contractor will assume there are 125 previously recorded sites within the survey area and that no more than 30 new sites will undergo a Phase II survey and be recorded.

The Contractor shall record all historic/prehistoric properties in accordance with NMCRIS. The Contractor shall prepare determinations of eligibility for the NRHP for each newly recorded historic property. The use of “Undetermined” for eligibility shall not be allowed.

The Contractor shall conduct sufficient Phase II in-field analysis activities at the 30 new sites. For bid purposes, the Contractor shall collect 200 diagnostic artifacts and curate them according to established NMCRIS standards. These are generally items that have commercial value or that need identification in a lab setting such as: whole bottles, projectile points, unusual prehistoric ceramics, large ceramic sherds, stone tools such as drills. The Contractor shall not collect every piece of metal, ceramic sherd, ground stone, or fire cracked rock encountered. The Contractor shall record all archaeological manifestations with GPS or total station. The Contractor shall furnish the GPS or total station files in ArcGIS format on CD-ROM for all archaeological sites (Deliverable 5a and 5b). GIS files to be submitted include 1) a polygon of each site boundary; 2) a point in UTM coordinates (WGS 84 datum) for each site datum; 3) a point in UTM coordinates (WGS 84 datum) for each feature. These must be submitted in ArcGIS format. The Contractor must submit one ArcGIS .SHP file with all site polygons in it (Deliverable 5c and 5d). All GIS files must have the metadata prepared and submitted also.

Information collected must be sufficient to complete the required Cultural Resource forms and to meet the detailed reporting requirements per NMCRIS standards.

The Contractor shall prepare two iterations of each as indicated below:

-GPS or Total Station - Draft [Deliverable 5a] and Final [Deliverable 5b] of the report.

-GIS .SHP with site polygons – Draft [Deliverable 5c] and Final [Deliverable 5d]

5.3. Task 3: State Site Forms. The Contractor shall submit one hard copy and one electronic copy of the draft state site forms, with maps, for each recorded site with a state number for review to Camp Desert and USACE for comment. Following comment resolution, the site file packet for newly discovered sites shall consist of two (2) copies of the LA form placed in an archivally stable folder and one electronic copy. For previously discovered sites, the Contractor shall also furnish two hard and one electronic copy of each LA form, but archival folders are not required. LA forms for previously discovered sites will follow the NM State guidelines for updated site forms. The LA forms shall be copied onto a CD in Adobe .PDF format.

The Contractor shall prepare two iterations: Draft [Deliverable 6a] and Final [Deliverable 6b] of the report.
