- The Bureau of Land Management proposes to negotiate a noncompetitive award of a contact to Walker Research Group LTD to conduct an ethnographic study in order to identify properties of historic, traditional, contemporary, and ongoing religious and cultural significance and importance in the study area of southeastern Oregon. The Idaho Power Company has applied for a right-of-way grant for the Boardman to Hemingway 500 kV transmission line across Bureau of Land Management/Forest Service/Bureau of Reclamation (hereafter referred to as Federal Agencies) administered public lands. Federal Agencies are mandated to consult with tribal governments whose interests might be directly and substantially affected by activities on federally administered lands. The purpose of this study is to document Shoshone-Paiute use and reliance on the natural and cultural resources in the project area across southeastern Oregon. Data review will include interviews with knowledgeable tribal elders to locate and identify properties of potential traditional cultural and religious significance in the study area. It is believed that the Walker Research Group is the only entity with access to Shoshone-Paiute elders and records necessary to the study. A final report will: Include maps (where approved by the Tribes), A bibliography of the literature reviewed, A thorough discussion of the methods used in the study,A summary of major findings,And identify to the extent permitted by the Tribes, resources and properties of traditional religious and cultural importance by the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes. This information will be used in the development of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Boardman to Hemingway 500kV powerline project. This acquisition is pursuant to 41 USC 253(c), Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition. The applicable NAICS code is 541720.
