Archaeological Survey
Posting Date: 2/21/2023
RFP Proposals due by: 3/10/2023
Scope of Work:
Phase I archaeological survey to include limited testing for the site to identify and classify archaeological resources that may be impacted by the construction of a commercial building on the Pamunkey Indian Reservation, King William, Virginia. Ground disturbance will include the installation of a well and septic system, and boring to support a building between 3,000 to 5,000 sq. ft.
Questions:
Q: What is the location and boundary of the area the tribe would like surveyed?
A: 6.69 acres. To obtain a map, please send an email to crcproject@pamunkey.org.
Q: The proposal mentions both survey and limited testing. Is it the preference of the tribe to orient testing toward evaluating any sites found for their eligibility for nomination to Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places as a contributing resource within the Pamunkey Reservation Archaeological District?
A: If the orienting testing towards NRHP listing doesn’t create a significant cost increase, it may be factored as future work will be designed in this manner.

Q: Will NEPA compliance be a part of this contract (EA/CE)?
