/0 <br />specific concentrated areas. The number of STPs shall be of the Contractor's choosing, <br />but should be sufficient to determine the cultural and archaeological significance of the <br />site(s) including their eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places and to <br />document the site(s) with state survey forms and cemetery forms as appropriate of all <br />above ground structures, including burial grounds or cemeteries. <br />C. Field Reconnaissance for Remainder of Park Property (Area 3) <br />A limited field investigation should be conducted for the rest of the park property where <br />no construction is planned other than trails and other passive activities (shown as Area <br />3 on the Areas for Evaluation Map). The Contractor shall use the field reconnaissance <br />to identify any areas that appear to be worthy of further investigation and to report such <br />information to Orange County ERCID. The Contractor shall document any sites <br />discovered during the field reconnaissance using state site and cemetery forms as <br />appropriate of all above ground structures, including burial grounds or cemeteries. The <br />field methods and techniques used shall be of the Contractor's choosing, but should <br />reflect a thorough working knowledge of contemporary archaeological methods and <br />techniques and shall include an evaluation of the eligibility of all sites for the National <br />Register of Historic Places. <br />The field investigation shall be of a nature sufficient to accomplish the following goals: <br />1) Make recommendations on the potential need for further survey, <br />2) Locate and identify sites that may have archaeological or historic significance, and <br />3) Evaluate the archaeological significance of any such sites. <br />Based on this limited field investigation, the OSA and the Orange County ERCD will <br />discuss with the Contractor whether there are areas that may warrant a more intensive <br />surface and subsurface investigation. For instance, once specific locations are <br />determined for construction of park facilities, we may decide to follow up this project <br />with a Phase 2 or 3 Cultural Resources Survey for areas of the property that have been <br />identified as potentially significant. Contract pricing for this will be negotiated with the <br />successful bidder in the eventuality the work is ordered. <br />D. Reporting of Results <br />The Contractor shall give regular (bi-weekly) verbal reports to the OSA and the Orange <br />County ERCID during the course of the project. <br />1) Interim Project Report <br />After the completion of the fieldwork, the contractor shall prepare and submit a <br />brief Interim Project Report on the activities to date to the OSA and the Orange <br />County ERCID. The report shall note any significant results or findings of the <br />project, specific problems encountered during the work, recommendations or <br />1.1 <br />
