CITY OF SAN RAF AEL JIM"6CHTZ, City i na erJIM TZ Revised 1/29/2020 CONSULTANT By: - 1 . 20in� ATTEST: /ter LINDSAY LARA, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: JAWw,— ROBERT F. EPSTEIN, ty Attorney Revised 1/29/2020 Name: Daniel Shoup Title: Principal [If CONSULTANT is a corporation, add signature of second corporate officer] Name: Title: Exhibit A Proposal for Archaeological Monitoring Services Francisco Boulevard West Multi -Use Path Phase II San Rafael, CA Submitted to: City of San Rafael Department of Public Works 1400 Fifth Avenue San Rafael, CA 95126 April 27, 2020 ARCHAEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL CONSULTANTS INTRODUCTION 609 Aileen Street Oakland, CA 94609 (510)654-5635 info@ahc-heritage.com wym.ahc-heritage.com The City of San Rafael proposes to construct a multi -use path between from Second Street to Rice Street, adjacent to the SMART right-of-way, in the City of San Rafael. This is Phase ii of the project; Phase I extended from Rice Street to Andersen Drive. Construction will include surface grading up to 1 foot deep, and earth -moving up to 3 feet deep. Since several prehistoric archaeological sites are known within '/4 -mile of the project area, the City of San Rafael has requested a proposal for cultural resources monitoring per the terms of the project's agreed mitigation measures. The whole of the project area is former marshland, filled since 1900. Current sea level was reached around 5,000 years ago, allowing saltwater marshes to form around the margins of San Francisco Bay. Geotechnical studies for the SMART corridor suggest that soils throughout the project area include 5 to 7 feet of uncontrolled fill material and are therefore not sensitive for prehistoric archaeological resources. Given this, our proposed scope of work includes a field survey, pre -construction training for construction crew, spot checks of excavation areas during excavation, and preparation of a monitoring memorandum on completion of work. We presume that the City of San Rafael will coordinate any necessary Native American consultation under AB52. SCOPE OF WORK Site Survey Prior to construction, an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for archaeology will survey the project corridor to determine whether historic archaeological resources associated with the old NPRR railroad are present. If resources are found, they will be recorded on State of California DPR 523 forms and submitted to the Northwest Information Center at Sonoma State University. Pre -construction Training and Alert Sheet A construction alert sheet visually describing the types of archaeological artifacts likely to be found in the San Rafael area will be prepared and circulated to all staff on the construction phase of the project. Prior to commencement of construction activities, construction staff will meet with an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior's standards for Prehistoric Archaeology to explain the agreed mitigation measures (MMs), discuss actions to take if cultural resources are found, and detail the obligations of the contractors under State law. Monitoring A/HC will provide a construction monitor during the ground -disturbing phase of construction. The archaeologist will monitor excavations that will reach more than 5 feet in depth, including street light and traffic signal excavation. The monitor will stop all activity within a 50 -foot radius of any prehistoric or historic archaeological resources that are found during construction until the nature and significance of the resource can be evaluated. 2 609 Aileen Street Oakland, CA 94609 (510) 654-8635 info@ahc-heritage.com ARCHAEOLOGICALMISTORICAL CONSULTANTS www.ahc-heritage.com If human remains are found during monitoring, the monitor will stop all activity within a 50 -foot radius, and the Marin County Coroner will be informed. If the remains appear to be Native American, the Native American Heritage Commission will be notified and invited to identify a Most Likely Descendant, who will make recommendations regarding reburial of the human remains. The monitor will, at minimum, have an BA or MA in archaeology, at least three years of field experience in California archaeology, and will meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for prehistoric archaeology. Monitoring Report After conclusion of construction, a monitoring report will be prepared for the City of San Rafael. The monitoring report will discuss monitoring methodology, summarize ground - disturbing activities, and identify any cultural materials found. ESTIMATED BUDGET The budget below assumes that two days of monitoring will be required. It is understood that the actual number of days required may be more or less, depending on the progress made by the contractor and the contractor's scheduling choices. Fixed Tasks Labor Staff Rate Hours Total Field Survey Principal $130.00 4 $520.00 Pre -Construction Training & Alert Sheet Principal $130.00 8 $1,040.00 Final Monitoring Report Principal $130.00 8 $1,040.00 Archaeological Monitoring Archaeologist $80.00 16 $1,280.00 SUBTOTAL 36.00 $3,880.00 Direct Costs Quantity Price Mileage 200 $0.575 $115.00 SUBTOTAL $115.00 TOTAL $3,995.00 Labor and costs are charged on a time and materials basis.
