REV: 06-24-2021 MI SCOPE OF SERVICES AND FEE SCOPE OF WORK TASK 1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT Over the course of the Project, Consultant will require time for contract management, meetings, developing the Project-specific monitoring management plan, and correspondence with the client, as well as data, employee, and equipment management. The Project Manager, Chelsea Blackmore, will manage the overall Project scope and budget and will be the primary Consultant liaison with you. TASK 2. CONSTRUCTION MONITORING Consultant’s proposed Cultural Monitoring Program will involve two phases. First, Consultant’s archaeological monitor will conduct cultural resource awareness training for the construction crew prior to the onset of work so that all personnel on-site will be fully aware of the kind of cultural resources that may be encountered at the Project site in the course of the planned construction activities as required under MM CUL-2.1. Such training not only ensures that construction crew is fully aware of the work being done, but also helps ensure that potential interruptions to the work plan are minimized by dealing with them early in the process, rather than attending to them after damage has occurred. Second, Archaeological monitoring of the Project will be conducted by a qualified archaeologist. Duties include observing all ground-disturbing activities within the Project Area. The archaeological monitor will rely primarily on observation of soil disturbance during construction activities (i.e., manual or machine excavations, grading). The monitor will periodically ask the equipment operator or laborer to temporarily halt, while the monitor takes a closer look at excavation areas. The monitor will be observing consistency or changes in soils or may be examining specific materials that may be cultural in origin. This will usually be done from outside the excavation area, however, on occasion the monitor may wish to observe the soils or materials at close range. In this case, the operator will be asked to hold the equipment at a safe distance while the monitor makes the close observations. While substantial finds may require up to 1/2- hour to assess, as noted below, it is usually the case that the monitor will require only a minute or two to complete the assessment. In such cases, it will be unnecessary to turn off or move the equipment. The monitor will complete daily monitoring logs, which will be appended to the monitoring report (see Task 3). At this time, the City has waived the requirement for Native American monitoring of the Project. Should precolonial archaeological deposits or Tribal Cultural Resources be encountered during construction, Native American monitoring will commence for the Project per guidance and requirements from the City. If potentially significant cultural materials are encountered, the archaeological monitor will halt excavation within the immediate vicinity (approximately 50 from discovery in all directions or any area that may likely contain the resource) to determine the nature of the find. The monitor will conduct a brief field assessment (1–30 minutes) to determine if the discovery constitutes a potentially significant archaeological resource. The monitor will immediately notify construction crews if additional time is required to consult with Consultant’s Project Manager, Chelsea Blackmore. An assessment of potential significance will be made by Dr. Blackmore who will determine the next course of action. ATTY/AGR.2021.151/Albion (Page 10 of 11)
