Cultural Resource Inventory Survey

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing and the Utah Army National Guard (UTARNG) are seeking qualified contractors to conduct an intensive cultural resource inventory survey of up to two Local Training Areas (LTAs) located in Beaver and Richfield, Utah. This procurement is a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) focused on re-inventorying LTAs, revisiting and updating previously recorded archaeological sites, and documenting newly identified sites as part of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106/110 process. The project requires a comprehensive archaeological survey with specific deliverables including site documentation, site updates, and potential new site recordings. The solicitation is open from August 6, 2024, to August 20, 2024, with sealed bids due by 2:00 PM MDT on August 20, 2024. Vendors must thoroughly review and respond to Prerequisites, Buyer Attachments, and Questions sections to be considered responsive, and the project is expected to be completed within nine months of receiving the notice to proceed.

The procurement will be awarded under Administrative Rule R33-5-108 for Small Purchases of Professional Service Providers and Consultants, with no cost information to be included in the initial statement of qualifications. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned, the solicitation appears open to qualified cultural resource management and archaeological consulting firms with demonstrated expertise in archaeological surveys and historic preservation documentation. The total project budget is not disclosed in the available documentation, and no incumbent vendors are identified. The contract will be subject to available funding, and interested vendors must demonstrate professional qualifications relevant to archaeological survey work in Utah's training areas. Respondents should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of their archaeological survey capabilities, previous relevant project experience, and technical approach to conducting a thorough cultural resource inventory in military training area contexts.
