Surface and Subsurface Investigation of Construction Areas <br /> The Contractor should perform surface and possible subsurface investigation in <br /> potential construction areas as shown on the schematic site plan and construction <br /> documents prepared by McGill Associates of Hickory, NC. The amount of subsurface <br /> excavation will depend on the results of initial surface investigation, and may require <br /> intensive subsurface shovel test pits (STPs) only in specific concentrated areas. The <br /> number of STPs shall be of the Contractor's choosing, but should be sufficient to <br /> determine the cultural and archaeological significance of the site(s) and to document the <br /> site(s) with state survey forms. <br /> C. Reporting of Results <br /> The Contractor shall give regular (weekly) reports via email or on site to the Orange <br /> County project team during the course of the project. <br /> Preliminary Field Report: In order to facilitate the effective use of survey <br /> findings, a digital copy of a Preliminary Field Report must be completed and <br /> submitted to Orange County in good order no later than Friday, September 20, <br /> 2013.
