Exhibit A (Scope of Work) <br />proposed field methods and invite the Tribes to provide any knowledge of important <br />resources that are not captured in the WISAARD database. <br />Historic Built Environment Study <br />Architectural historians meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification <br />Standards for Architectural History will conduct a background study of the area of <br />potential effects (APE). A survey cutoff date of 45 years of age or older will be used. <br />Prior to the fieldwork, the Consultant will obtain date of construction information for <br />properties located within the survey area through review of county assessor records and <br />aerial photographs and maps to identify which properties meet the survey cutoff date. <br />Consultant architectural historians will review the DAHP’s WISAARD database to <br />identify any previously recorded built environment properties within the APE. Additional <br />research will include using available online materials at local historical societies, <br />archives, agency records, and other sources to gain an understanding of what property <br />types may be encountered during fieldwork. This background research will inform the <br />development of a historical overview that will guide preliminary National Register of <br />Historic Places (NRHP) evaluations. <br />An architectural historian will complete a survey of built environment APE from the <br />public right of way. The built environment APE encompasses the project footprint, <br />including the roadway, sidewalk improvements, and any areas where the project <br />construction will cross adjacent tax parcels. Tax parcels included in the project footprint <br />or adjacent to sidewalk improvements will be surveyed to consider potential effects to <br />the setting of any historic properties that may be present. Any properties within the APE <br />that have within the last 10 years been inventoried and evaluated for listing in the NRHP <br />with concurrence by DAHP will not be re-inventoried unless conditions have changed <br />since the property was recorded. Inventoried properties will be recorded on Washington <br />State Historic Property Inventory Forms in the WISAARD database. <br />Cultural Resources Technical Report <br />Following fieldwork, the Consultant will prepare a report that summarizes the cultural <br />resources assessment and meets DAHP guidelines. The report will present the results <br />of the background research and fieldwork and will provide a brief historical overview that <br />describes the natural setting and historical development of the survey area. It also will <br />present a regulatory context that identifies relevant permitting processes and <br />compliance with local, state, and federal preservation requirements. Further, it will <br />tabulate built environment resources that meet the survey cutoff date in the survey area <br />and provide preliminary NRHP evaluations of eligibility. The Consultant will make a <br />preliminary recommendation as to whether the project will adversely affect any cultural <br />resources eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and <br />provide recommendations for future work, such as additional research, fieldwork, or <br />other activities to support compliance with local, state, and federal cultural resources <br />regulations the project is subject to. <br />The survey results will be incorporated into a combined cultural resources assessment <br />report that addresses archaeological and built environment resources within the APE. If <br />historic properties are located within the APE, the Consultant will determine if the
