- Description
- This work is located on the Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho County, Idaho. The location of the cultural resource work will be within an approximate 14 mile stretch of the Salmon River between section 15 of T24N, R8E (near Painter Bar), and section 12 of T24N, R6E (near Sheep Creek). All sites are located within the Wild and Scenic River corridor of the Salmon River. Detailed maps of the sites will be issued with individual task orders. General maps showing the estimated project area for the 2011 work corridor, and work corridors expected to be ordered in 2012 and 2013 will be in the solicitation. This contract will require the re-recording, monitoring, updating, and evaluation of previously recorded archaeological/historical sites along the Salmon River Wild and Scenic River Corridor (which includes the first ¼ mile of the South Fork Salmon River). If jet boats are used for this contract, the contractor shall use one of the twelve authorized operators listed on page 2-72 of the FCRNR Wilderness Plan, and cannot conduct fieldwork between June 20 and September 7 which coincides with the float permit (control) season along the Salmon River. The contractor also cannot camp along the river corridor in any previously reserved camp location. A list of prohibited camp locations will be made available to the contractor. The contractor must use approved fire pans and human waste receptacles while operating within the Salmon River Wild and Scenic River Corridor. Because of low-light conditions and snow conditions which may hamper ground visibility, no field work will be accepted that occurs between November 15 and March 15 of each year. Low water levels occurring on certain stretches of the Salmon River between September 8 and November 14 of each year may affect the use of jet boats as a form of travel. No archaeological excavation activity is required or approved for either task. No collecting of surface artifacts is authorized under this contract unless the Principal Investigator determines them to be in imminent danger of destruction. The contractor shall meet the qualifications found in Appendix A of 36 CFR Part 61. 1) Update/re-record archaeological properties and evaluate each for their National Register eligibility- reporting each on the State of Idaho Access Program site form, and update/re-record historic buildings and main agricultural canals and evaluate each for their National Register eligibility - reporting each on the Idaho Historic Sites Inventory form. It should be noted that many sites were recorded in 1971 and have not been visited since by archaeologists. Thus descriptive and locational data for many sites are fragmentary and incomplete. It is also common to find historic components present at previously documented prehistoric sites. Often these historic components were not recorded or noted at the time the site was originaly recorded. 2) The results of the above field work are to be included in a final professional report summarizing all aspects of the field work, site-update work, findings, and relevance for greater archaeological interpretation/association and scientific understanding. A professional report will be required for each task order issued under this contract.
