REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST<\/strong>
\nNUMBER: W9126G-18-SOI-3742<\/strong>
\nPROJECT TO BE INITIATED IN 2018<\/strong>
\nProject Title: Cultural Resources Support, Section 106 & 110 Surveys at Nellis Air <\/strong>Force Base<\/strong>
\nResponses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential
\ninvestigators for a project to be funded by the US Air Force, which provides professional and
\ntechnical support for its Cultural Resources in order to facilitate successful implementation of the
\n16 USC 670c-1 Sikes Act. Approximately $1,298,512 is expected to be available to support this
\nproject.
\nBackground:<\/strong> This work requires support to facilitate Section 106 and 110 of 36 CFR 800 the
\nNational Historic Preservation to identify potential historic properties in the APE. This
\ncooperative agreement shall include Section 106 surveys for Threat Pads, 40 miles of roadway,
\nand fiber optic installation at Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). This cooperative
\nagreement also includes Section 110 surveys and\/or reports for Range 77, Black Mountain Infill
\nSurvey, Wild Horse Spring\/Range 71, and Mud Lake\/Seep Springs North Range at NTTR. As
\npart of the surveys, these projects include Native American consultation to assist the government
\nwith identifying cultural resources and ensuring the government follows federal regulations.
\nType of Award:<\/strong>
\nIn accordance with the Sikes Act (Sec. 103A [16 USC 670c-1]) \u201cthe Secretary of a military
\ndepartment may enter into cooperative agreements with States, local governments, Indian Tribes,
\nnon-governmental organizations, and individuals\u201d This project is in support of the Integrated
\nNatural Resources Management Plan, as directed in the Sikes Act, and as a result, it is anticipated
\nthat a cooperative agreement through the CESU program will be awarded. Such awards may be
\nadministered through a CESU only upon mutual agreement and official authorization by both
\nparties of the acceptance of the application of the CESU Network IDC rate (17.5%).
\nNote:<\/strong> Must be a non-federal partner in the CESU Unit to be qualified to be considered.
\nBrief Description of Anticipated Work:<\/strong>
\nThis research focuses on the following objectives:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) Objective 1: The purpose of this project is for Section 106 purposes on the Nevada Test and
\nTraining Range (NTTR) for 20 Threat Pads. The NTTR has proposed a need to develop
\nthreat emitter sites for the Air Force mission. These areas will be impacted by development
\nand may include associated infrastructure (roads, fiber optic cable).
\n2) Objective 2: The purpose of this project is to conduct a reconnaissance and pedestrian
\narchaeological survey for Section 106 purposes on the NTTR of 40 miles of existing and
\nproposed roads. The NTTR has proposed a need to improve\/develop roads for support of the
\nAir Force mission. These roads will need grading and shoulder installation. The Air Force
\nwould like a 100 meter buffer on either side of the roads for survey.
\n3) Objective 3: The purpose of this project is to conduct a reconnaissance and pedestrian
\narchaeological survey for Section 106 purposes on the NTTR for 2000 acres. The NTTR has
\nproposed a need to develop an area for fiber optic cable installation support for the Air
\nForce mission. These areas will need subsurface disturbance for installation.
\n4) Objective 4: The purpose of this project is to revise a report for Section 110 purposes on the
\nNTTR for Range 77 area which will additionally be defined as a Traditional Cultural
\nProperty (TCP). The NTTR has agreed to allow 7,000 acres on Range 77 to be protected due
\nto high concentration of sacred prehistoric archaeological sites. In much discussion with the
\nAir Force and NAFB 17 affiliated tribes the Air Force would like to set aside this area for
\nprotections and nominate it officially to the National Register of Historic Places as a TCP
\nfor future protection.
\n5) Objective 5: The purpose of this project is to conduct a reconnaissance and pedestrian
\narchaeological survey for Section 110 purposes on the NTTR for 150 acres which will be
\ndefined as the study area at Black Mountain Area TPECR, NTTR, Nye County Nevada. The
\nNTTR has proposed a need to develop an area for fiber optic cable installation support for
\nthe Air Force mission. These areas will need subsurface disturbance for installation.
\n6) Objective 6: The purpose of this project is finish a report for Section 106 purposes on the
\nNTTR for Mud Lake\/Wild Horse Spring area and Seeps\/Springs on North Range (separate
\nSection 110 report) (n=20) which will be defined as the Area of Potential Effect (APE). The
\nNTTR has proposed a need to develop a ground troupe training maneuver area for the Air
\nForce mission. These areas will be impacted by overland use.
