<br /> <br />WDFW # 23-23154 Page 5 of 18 <br />of the find will be secured and protected from further <br />disturbance until WDFW provides notice to proceed. <br />The GRANTEE or their subcontractors must <br />immediately notify WDFW, the Washington State <br />Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation <br />(DAHP) and either the Cultural Resources Program <br />Manager or Tribal Historic Preservation Officer of all <br />affected Tribes. The GRANTEE will also report the <br />finding of human skeletal remains to the county <br />medical examiner/coroner and local law enforcement <br />in the most expeditious manner possible. The remains <br />will not be touched, moved, or further disturbed. The <br />county medical examiner/coroner will assume <br />jurisdiction over the human skeletal remains and make <br />a determination of whether those remains are forensic <br />or non-forensic. If the county medical examiner/ <br />coroner determines the human skeletal remains are <br />non-forensic, then they will report that finding to <br />DAHP, who will then take jurisdiction over the <br />remains. <br />DAHP will notify any appropriate cemeteries and all <br />affected Tribes of the find. The Washington State <br />Physical Anthropologist will make a determination of <br />whether the human skeletal remains are Indian or Non- <br />Indian and report that finding to any appropriate <br />cemeteries and the affected Tribes. DAHP will then handle <br />all consultation with the affected parties as to the future <br />preservation, excavation, and disposition of the human <br />skeletal remains (RCWs 68.50.645, 27.44.055, and <br />68.60.055). <br /> <br />C. Discovery of Cultural Resources. If suspected cultural <br />resources are found while conducting work under this <br />contract, the GRANTEE shall immediately stop any <br />activity that may cause further disturbance. The <br />GRANTEE or their Contractors must immediately notify <br />the WDFW Project Manager. WDFW will contact DAHP <br />and the Cultural Resources Program Manager or Tribal <br />Historic Preservation Officer of all affected Tribes to alert <br />them to a possible identification of cultural resources. The <br />GRANTEE’S ARCHAEOLOGIST will confirm the find <br />represents archaeological material(s) or feature(s) and <br />notify the GRANTEE, WDFW Project Manager, and the <br />WDFW ARCHAEOLOGIST. The GRANTEE’s <br />ARCHAEOLOGIST will provide photos of the <br />archaeological material(s) or feature(s) with an <br />appropriate scale. The WDFW Project Manager, <br />in cooperation with the WDFW ARCHAEOLOGIST, will <br />contact DAHP and affected Tribes to identify appropriate <br />points of contact and send the provided photos. WDFW, <br />DAHP, and affected Tribes will consult to determine next <br />steps. <br />If it can be determined at this step that the material(s) or <br />feature(s) represent a potentially significant archaeological <br />site, the GRANTEE will be advised of interim protective <br />measures. Work may resume outside the affected area plus <br />any necessary buffer, unless the WDFW ARCHAEOLOGIST <br />directs otherwise. <br />WDFW will initiate Tribal and DAHP consultation regarding <br />evaluation of the find’s significance, potential for effects <br />caused by the project, and subsequent treatment plans or <br />Memoranda of Agreement (MOA)s. <br />Wherever possible, the preferred treatment of significant <br />archaeological resources and historic sites will be in situ <br />preservation. If a treatment plan requires that such resources <br />be excavated or removed, an agreement must first be <br />reached between WDFW, the GRANTEE, and the consulting <br />parties before work can proceed. Failure to abide by this <br />section can result in immediate termination of this contract in <br />addition to any other remedies allowed by law. <br />ASSIGNMENT <br />The work to be provided under this contract, and any claim <br />arising thereunder, is not assignable or delegable by either party <br />in whole or in part, without the express prior written consent of <br />the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably <br />withheld. <br />ATTORNEYS’ FEES <br />In the event of litigation or other action brought to enforce <br />contract terms, each party agrees to bear its own attorney <br />fees and costs. <br />BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA <br />The GRANTEE is subject to the Buy America Sourcing <br />requirements under the Build America, Buy America <br />provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) <br />(P.L. 117-58, §§70911-70917) for the types of infrastructure <br />projects under the EPA program and activities specified in the <br />chart, “Environmental Protection Agency's Identification of <br />Federal Financial Assistance Infrastructure Programs Subject <br />to the Build America Buy America Provisions of the <br />Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.” None of the funds <br />provided under this contract may be used for a project of <br />infrastructure unless all iron and steel, manufactured <br />products, and construction materials that are consumed in, <br />incorporated into, or affixed to an infrastructure project are <br />produced in the United States. The Buy America preference <br />requirement applies to an entire infrastructure project, even if <br />it is funded by both Federal and non-Federal funds. The <br />GRANTEE must implement these requirements in its <br />procurements, and these requirements must flow down to all <br />subawards and contracts at any tier. For legal definitions and <br />sourcing requirements, the recipient must consult EPA’s Build <br />America, Buy America website and the Office of Management <br />and Budget’s (OMB) Memorandum M-22-11, Initial <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 7FA61F69-7F37-4B7B-8E00-24BAE208A655
