5 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Cultural Resources Survey: Hollow Rock Access Area and New Hope Preserve Orange County is seeking a qualified and experienced archaeologist(s) to conduct a cultural resources survey on several adjacent tracts (97 acres total) purchased for the proposed Hollow Rock Access Area and adjoining New Hope Preserve. The Hollow Rock Access Area will include a trail and limited parking, along with other limited facilities sited in a natural area. Information from the survey will be used to assist with the siting of future facilities and for identifying areas of historic and cultural interest for interpretation. The project represents a multi jurisdictional public-private partnership including Orange and Durham counties, the Town of Chapel Hill, the City of Durham, and the Triangle Land Conservancy (TLC) and as such will likely have considerable public outreach through the public process and related news media. The "Hollow Rock Access Area" will be designed by a joint committee (consisting of elected officials, park advisory boards members, and local advocacy groups) charged with developing a master plan. The future facility will be developed and managed as a joint effort between the two counties. Orange County will also use the survey findings at a subsequent date for planning the New Hope Creek Preserve. This project is funded in part with a federal 2007 Historic Preservation Fund pass- through grant, administered through the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Contract requirements dictate the scope of work, project timetable and deliverables. All proposals must address the specifications of the accompanying Scope of Work, and are to include, but not be limited to the following: 1. A discussion of the research design for the proposed investigation. 2. A discussion of the field and laboratory methods to be employed. 3. A work schedule for the proposed survey. 4. A lump sum project cost proposal, with cost breakouts as cited in Section IV. 5. Resumes articulating qualifications of all members of the project team, including, but not limited to the Principal Investigator(s) and field director(s). 6.
