- Description
- THIS IS A SPECIAL NOTICE PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR) SUBPART 5.2 �SYNOPSES OF PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTIONS� The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District (NWP) intends to negotiate/award a firm-fixed price (FFP) service, single source procurement to the the Nez Perce Tribe for the Historic Context Statement Regarding Basalt Rock Formations in the Bonneville, The Dalles and John Day Projects, Skamania, Klickitat, and Benton Counties, WA and Multnomah, Hood River, Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow, and Umatilla Counties, OR. Background: �The Corps and the Bonneville Power Administration (Agencies) are jointly responsible for compliance with Sections 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) under the terms of the 2009 Systemwide Programmatic Agreement (SWPA) for management of historic properties affected by operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). �The Corps, Portland District manages The Bonneville, The Dalles, and John Day Projects, which are part of the FCRPS. �The FCRPS Cultural Resource Program works closely with interested and affected tribes, state historic preservation offices, and other agencies for cultural resource management in compliance with Sections 106 and 110 of the NHPA. ???????Justification: �The Nez Perce Tribe possesses unique knowledge of its ancestral artifacts, village sites, prehistoric burial areas, and areas of traditional cultural properties and resources that exist within and overlap the project area. ???????Impact: �Failure to utilize the Nez Perce Tribe�s knowledge of its archeological sites and resources would delay the Corps in being able to make required long term management strategies for the area and impact compliance with NHPA Sections 106 under the terms of the 2009 SWPA for management of historic properties affected by operation and maintenance of the FCRPS. �Furthermore, Government relations with the Nez Perce Tribe would be negatively impacted. ???????Alternatives: There are no known alternative sources for these services which possess the knowledge of the Nez Perce tribal history or can speak on the tribe�s behalf.� NHPA requires consultation with Indian tribes, and the cultural resources program is the entity the Nez Perce Tribe has authorized to represent them. Send all responses and capability statements to the Contracting Officer Mr. Brandon Lasich at brandon.m.lasich@usace.army.mil.
