WORK DESCRIPTION
TO PROVIDE DISTRICT-WIDE CULTURAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT SURVEYS AND A BROAD RANGE OF RELATED WORK FOR THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (FDOT), DISTRICT SIX.
LENGTH OF CONTRACT: 2 YEARS
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), hereinafter referred to as the Department, is committed to managing the cultural resources of Florida, both prehistoric and historic, that are potentially impacted by Department activities. This commitment is exemplified by Secretary Stephanie Kopelousos’ Environmental Policy Statement issued September 20, 2007. Cultural resources include, but are not limited to, prehistoric and historic archeological sites of human occupation or burial and historic structures generally fifty years of age or older such as houses, buildings, or bridges. The Department maintains its cultural resource management program in order to comply with the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Public Law 89-665, as amended) and implementing regulations (36 CFR 800, as amended), as well as the provisions contained in Chapter 267, Florida Statutes, and other authorities addressing the treatment of historic properties.
The Department's cultural resource program is first concerned with identifying all cultural resources potentially affected by a transportation project. The Department currently contracts for archaeological and historical cultural resource surveys to identify such resources. The surveys range from simple reconnaissance surveys to intensive surveys requiring subsurface testing in the form of test pits or excavation units, and/or extensive historic research such as detailed review of both primary and secondary source materials as well as resident and informant interviews. Cultural resources identified during these surveys are then assessed in terms of their significance, that is, eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This assessment is made in consultation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Historic Compliance Review Section of the Division of Historical Resources (DHR), Department of State. Other agencies and organizations may also be involved in the assessment of resource significance.
