<br />Contractor's choosing, but should reflect a thorough working knowledge of <br />contemporary archaeological methods and techniques. <br />The field investigation shall be of a nature sufficient to accomplish the following goals: <br />1. Locate and identify sites on the property that may have archaeological or <br />historic significance, <br />2. Evaluate the archaeological significance of any such sites located, and <br />3. Make recommendations on the potential need for further survey of the site. <br />Based on this limited field investigation, Orange County ERCD will discuss with the <br />Contractor whether there are areas that may warranf a more intensive surface and <br />subsun`ace investigation. For instance, once specific locations are determined for <br />construction of park and schools facilities, we may decide to follow up this project with a <br />systematic shovel testing program based on a 30-meter, or similar, grid pattern across <br />the areas of the property that have been identified for the construcfion of park and <br />schools facilities. Contract pricing for this will be negotiated with the successful bidder in <br />fhe eventuality the work is ordered. <br />D. Reporting of Results <br />The Contractor shall give regular (bi-weekly) verbal reports to the Orange County ERCD <br />during the course of the project and shall provide specific information regarding the <br />farmstead and log cabin site prior to completing the field investigations for that area. <br />In order to facilitate the effective use of information contained in the final report, the final <br />report must be completed and submitted to ERCD in final form no later than Friday, <br />February 28, 2003. Approximately midway through the project (specific dates to be <br />included in contract), the successful Contractor will provide ERCD with a Preliminary <br />Field Report of the findings to date, status of the survey (research and field work), and <br />the anticipated date of completion of the final report (final report must be submitted by <br />February 28, 2003). The contractor shall also, at this time, be prepared to conduct a <br />short presentation (15-20 minutes) to the Chapel Hill Township Park and Educational <br />Campus (CHATPEC) Master Plan Work Group. <br />The final report shall provide overviews of those portions of prehistory and history that <br />are relevant to the Calvander and Eubanks sections of Chapel Hill Township (Orange <br />County), set within the broader context of the Southeast. The report will also include <br />detailed maps of any former locations of roads, historic structures, and any significant <br />landscape alterations associated with those historic structures. The final .report shall <br />generally satisfy requirements outlined in the "Guidelines for Preparation of <br />Archaeological Survey Reports," prepared by the NC Office of State Archaeology. <br />Two copies of a draft of the final report shall be submitted to the Orange County ERCD <br />for review and comment at least two weeks in advance of the final submittal deadline. <br />Following that review, the Contractor shall make any required changes and submit four <br />copies of the revised final report to the Orange County ERCD no later than February 28, <br />5 <br />
