The Bureau of Reclamation, part of the Department of the Interior, is soliciting proposals for a firm fixed-price contract to conduct an archaeological survey and monitoring as part of the Horseshoe-Carefree Seismic Hazard Study in Arizona. The project involves monitoring along the Horseshoe fault and surveying two backhoe-excavated sites across the Carefree fault, with strict adherence to the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA). This initiative underscores the federal government's commitment to protecting cultural resources during geotechnical investigations, ensuring that any significant archaeological findings are reported and managed appropriately. Interested contractors should contact Savanna Manning at smanning@usbr.gov or call 303-445-2432 for further details regarding submission timelines and compliance requirements.
