D210123 - Cultural Resources Support at Nellis AFB/NTTR, NV

CEMML is seeking a qualified contractor to conduct archaeological surveys at the Nellis AFB, Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) in support of  Section 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR 800) in order to identify historic properties in the areas of potential effed (APE). This project includes Section 106 surveys for proposed Threat Pads, 40 miles of roadway, and a fiber optic installation at Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). The contractor will be responsible for arranging access, conducting surveys, completing analysis and report generation.  The contractor response must include a description of how they will conduct the work outlined in the scope of work and to provide evidence of qualifications to conduct this work which may include references.
 
NTTR is a heavily used training area and access is often limited. Conducting fieldwork will require advanced planning and coordination with the installation Cultural Resource Manager or designee and also range escorts. Regardless, training events may take priority and access may be cancelled on short notice. Therefore, the contractor must be prepared for delays or cancellation of scheduled access and reschedule for a later date. Having contingency plans is recommended.  Experience at NTTR is preferred but not essential. However, the contractor: must be locally available (e.g. have or willing to establish an office nearby preferred); be flexible with regard to schedule changes; must have archaeological experience in the region; and field directors and crew leaders must meet the Secretary of Interior Standards for Archaeology and be qualified to work in the State of Nevada.
