The final task consists of reporting the findings of the study. During the performance of the first three tasks, TRC will keep the Orange County ERCD informed of the progress of the work on at least a bi- weekly basis through verbal reports. The Orange County ERCD will also be provided specific information regarding the Cate Farmstead and log cabin sites prior to the completion of fieldwork. Approximately halfway through the project we will provide a Preliminary Field Report that presents the project findings to date; preliminary mapping of identified resources; a preliminary assessment of the significance of any recorded resources; information on the work remaining; and the expected date of completion of the final report. We will also prepare a brief (15-20 minute) presentation of the preliminary project results for the Chapel Hill Township Park and Educational Campus Master Plan Work Group by this time. When the fieldwork and analysis is complete, TRC will produce draft and revised final versions of a technical report detailing the results of the background research, fieldwork, and laboratory analysis. The repoR will be thorough and complete and will be illustrated with photographs and drawings of archaeological sites and artifacts, as needed, and will conform to the reporting standards presented in the OSA guidelines. In addition to the report, updated or new archaeological site forms will be completed for each recorded site or isolated find, as appropriate. The report will provide recommendations concerning the significance of any cultural resources discovered, as well as recommendations for future survey and management and/or investigation of these resources. Any additional investigations are beyond the scope of the present proposal. TRC will temporarily curate any artifacts recovered during production and review of the draft and final reports. The permanent curation repository of all project materials and collections will be determined in consultation with the client and the OSA, but will likely be the Office of State Archaeology Research Center in Raleigh. Orange County ERCD will be responsible for curation costs for records and artifacts resulting from the project and this cost is not included in the attached budget. SCHEDULE TRC will proceed with this project in an expeditious manner once written Notice to Proceed (NTP) is received. Barring circumstances beyond our control, such as extended periods of adverse weather, the background research and fieldwork is expected to be completed within three weeks. The Preliminary Field Report will be prepared and submitted to the Orange County ERCD by February 4, 2003. Two copies of the Draft Final Report will be submitted to the Orange County ERCD no later than February 14, 2003. The report will be revised as necessary and four copies of the Revised Final Report will be submitted to Orange County ERCD no later than February 28, 2003. The Orange County ERCD will also be provided with copies of all field maps and copies of all black and white photographs. BUDGET TRC proposes to complete these studies on a lump sum basis as requested in the RFP. The attached budget provides details on our proposed costs by task. Invoices will be provided every month for the duration of the project. Page - 3
