CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
KITTITAS COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS - NELSON SIDING ROAD
CULTURAL RESOURCE INVENTORY & MONITORING
Statement of Work & Cost Proposal
Central Washington Anthropological Survey
A. STATEMENT OF WORK
Kittitas County Public Works is planning developement along Nelson Siding Road in the
upper county. Located approximately six miles west of Cle Elum beside Interstate -90,
the project area extends within a 4.36 mile, 60 -foot wide right-of-way (ROW). The total
project area covers approximately 32 acres. Project activities will not leave the ROW.
The project is funded with County Road Administration Board (CRAB), Rural Arterial
Program (RAP), and local county resources. Construction activities will disturb the
ground surface of the project carea along and within the current ROW for Nelson Siding
Road. These activities include clearing, grading, and excavation disturbances.
Development of the project may adversely affect documented cultural resources and/or,
cultural resources not identified in the project Area of Potential Effect (APE). As the
project is funded by Washington State programs, it must be compliant with the
Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Washington State Executive Order
05-05, and applicable Revised Code(s) of Washington.
This work statement and cost proposal is presented by Central Washington
Anthropological Survey (CWAS), a cultural resources conservation team of Central
Washington University (CWU). CWAS offers conservation support to aid Kittitas
County Public Works in meeting cultural resources regulatory compliance requirements.
CWAS professional archaeologists, Tucker Orvald, M.S., Shane Scott, M.S, and
additional staff members will provide cultural resource management services. Mr.
Orvald will act as Principal Investigator (P.I.) for the project.
All research, field survey, construction monitoring, and final reports of findings, as
described below, will be supervised and conducted in the field and the office by a
professional archaeologist (having at least a Master's Degree in the fields of archaeology,
cultural resource management, or anthropology, with substantive field experience).
CWAS personnel meet the standards of the Washington State Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP), as well as the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for Archaeology (36CFR800).
B. CULTURAL RESOURCE TASKS
To implement this project, CWAS recommends the following five task process. Each
task will be initiated by the project proponent and executed by CWAS in a timely
manner. The five tasks are outlined below:
Task 1. CWAS will conduct background research required to effectively address the
project. Background research will include a record search at the DAHP office in
Olympia and pertinent General Land Office (GLO) cadastral maps and survey notes.
Additional research at local and regional libraries, and the State Archive in Ellensburg,
will also be necessary. Background research will inform on the occurrence, location, and
nature of cultural resources occurring in the project area and its vicinity. The proximity
and nature of documented cultural resources and any areas deemed sensitive in relation to
planned ground disturbing activities associated with the project will in part determine the
course of the following tasks.
Task 2. CWAS will conduct systematic pedestrian survey of the entire project surface
area to identify potential as well as previously documented cultural resources.
Subsurface survey will also be conducted in portions of the project area, based on
background research, geoarchaeological information, and results of pedestrian survey.
Previously recorded and newly identified archaeological properties will be mapped with
meter accuracy GPS and archaeological site and isolate forms for all properties within the
project area will be completed and/or updated to current standards. Archaeological
properties within the project area will be assessed and conservation recommendations
will be made. Additionally, an inadvertent discovery plan for human remains will be in
place.
Task 3. As deemed necessary, a professional archaeologist would have oversight duties
to carry out archaeological construction monitoring responsibilities during excavation,
and other surface disturbance from project construction, to identify and report cultural
resources in those areas deemed necessary by the P.I. During onsite monitoring, the
designated archeological monitor will observe and record the presence of any uncovered
cultural, paleontological, or historical resources and maintain a daily log of onsite
activities. A discovery plan will be implemented between CWAS, DAHP, the Yakama
Nation, and the project proponent.
Task 4. Survey and monitoring summaries will be prepared and submitted to Kittitas
County (multiple sites or geographic areas may be described in one monitoring report).
Project progress updates and results will be emailed to the County on a weekly basis and
immediately following completion of fieldwork.
Task 5. A final project report of findings for the inventory and a final monitoring report
will be provided to the County within 30 days of fieldwork completion and cessation of
construction monitoring. Finalized reports shall include all components required by
DAHP, and will include any clarifications requested by DAHP, Kittitas County, and the
Yakama Nation Cultural Resources Program. Both reports will be re -submitted in final
form within four weeks of receiving comments. Should Kittitas County contract with
2
CWAS for this project, a subcontract contract with a formal scope of work and cost
proposal will be drafted.
C. RATES AND COSTS
A. Rates include: Professional Archaeologist — M.S. level Archaeologist ($100
per hour); M.S. level GIS Specialist ($70 per hour); Archaeological Field Leader
($70 per hour); Lead Archaeological Technician ($30 per hour); Travel ($0.55 per

B. Any meeting with Kittitas County personnel and other subcontractors will be
charged at simple hourly rates.
C. Kittitas County and CWU will engage in an inter -agency agreement for all
work specified in this statement of work. The requested work shall commence
when the budget has been agreed upon, and a not -to -exceed price is set.
