Summary
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, detailing the requirements for conducting a Phase I Cultural Resources Investigation and Phase II Archaeological Testing and Assessment for timber tracts located on fee-owned lands in Lowndes and Pickens Counties, Alabama, as well as Lowndes and Sharkey Counties, Mississippi.
The primary objective is to support timber harvesting operations while ensuring compliance with cultural resources management and historic preservation standards. The PWS outlines the need for a comprehensive cultural resources survey of approximately 1,182 acres across six timber tracts, which includes assessing previously recorded sites for National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility.
The contractor is tasked with performing a Phase I survey to identify buried cultural resources and historic structures, followed by a Phase II assessment of two specific sites (1LO61 and 22LO713) that have been previously recorded. The work must adhere to guidelines established under the National Historic Preservation Act and relevant state regulations from Alabama and Mississippi.
Specific deliverables include:
- A written research design
- An executive summary of findings within 14 days post-fieldwork
- Various reports detailing project methods and results
Additionally, all artifacts collected during the survey must be curated according to approved standards.
The PWS also provides descriptions of each timber tract involved in the investigation, noting their historical significance or lack thereof based on previous surveys. For instance, the South Gas Line tract has no recorded sites while the DeWayne Hayes tract has eight historic sites that require reassessment to meet current standards.
The PWS emphasizes that all fieldwork must comply with accepted archaeological practices and includes detailed requirements for documentation and reporting throughout the project lifecycle.
