CONSULTANT will be entitled to use and rely upon all such information and services. 3.3 In the event scheduled, prearranged or mandated events, meetings, access to sites, delivery of documentation or other obligations, which are responsibilities the CLIENT has agreed to and upon which the CONSULTANT relied, and which events, meetings, entrees to sites, delivery of documentation. or other obligations could not or did not take place, or were required to be rescheduled because of the failure of the CLIENT in the discharge of the CLIENT'S obligations, all costs associated with that rescheduling shall be borne by the CLIENT. 3.4 If the work involves excavations or drilling, it is the responsibility of the CLIENT to provide the CONSULTANT with assistance in locating underground structures or utilities in the vicinity of any exploration or investigations. If neither CLIENT nor CONSULTANT can confirm the location, the CLIENT agrees to accept all liability and costs associated with the repair, replacement or restoration of any damage caused by the CONSULTANTS exploration or investigations occurring in the performance of the Work. 3.5 CLIENT recognizes that, when it is known, assumed, or suspected that hazardous materials exist on or beneath the surface of the work site or within any structure thereon, certain sampling materials, such as drill cuttings and drill fluids or asbestos removed for sampling, should be handled as if hazardous or contaminated. Accordingly, when sampling is included in the scope of services and when determined by CONSULTANT in its sole and exclusive judgment to be necessary based on CONSULTANTS assessment of the degree of contamination, hazard, and risk, CONSULTANT will promptly inform CLIENT that containerization and labeling will be performed; will appropriately contain and label such materials; and will leave the containers on site for proper, lawful removal, transport, and disposal by CLIENT. CLIENT waives any claim against CONSULTANT and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold CONSULTANT harmless from any claim or liability for injury or loss that may arise as a result of the drill cuttings, drilling fluids, or other assumedly hazardous materials being left on the work site after containerization by CONSULTANT. All samples of soil, groundwater, waste, rock, or other materials collected from the site shall remain the property of the CLIENT and shall be returned to the CLIENT by the CONSULTANT within thirty (30) days after submission of the CONSULTANTS report, unless applicable law requires the retention or other disposition of such samples. All costs associated with the disposition or returning of samples will be charged to the CLIENT or as set forth in the Scope of Work. ARTICLE 4. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICE 4.1 This Agreement shall commence on the date set forth below and end May 1. 2001, both dates inclusive (initial term). 4.2 The dates of performance shall be interpreted as a material consideration in the Agreement; however, in the absence of an amended Agreement, dates shall not be construed as falling within the meaning of "time is of the essence." Page 2 of 6 4.3 The schedule and compensation may be influenced by the availability of information, public and regulatory agency concerns, weather, and numerous other factors that may not be foreseen during initial project planning. The CLIENT and CONSULTANT will negotiate in good faith and mutually agree on the proposed schedule and cost changes as they occur and as appropriate. 4.4 Services additional to those set forth in this Agreement will be performed and completed within the time period and compensation agreed to in writing by the parties at the time such services are authorized. 4.5 If any time period within or date by which any of CONSULTANT'S services are to be performed is exceeded for reasons outside of CONSULTANT'S reasonable control, all rates, measures and amounts of compensation and the time for completion of performance shall be subject to equitable adjustment.

PROJECT PROPOSAL 0 COST ESTIMATES PROPOSED 391 -ACRE LITTLE RIVER REGIONAL PARK AND NATURAL AREA IN ORANGE AND DURHAM COUNTIES, U NORTH CAROLINA. SUBMITTED TO ORANGE COUNTY ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCE CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT HILLSBOROUGH, NC February 27, 2001 SCOPE OF WORK Legacy Research Associates, Inc. (Legacy) is pleased to submit this proposal for a survey of cultural resources for the proposed 391 -acre Little River Regional Park and Natural Area in Orange and Durham Counties, North Carolina. This proposal presents our understanding of the project and the methods we will use in performing these studies; our fees are detailed in the attached itemized budget. The proposal is based on a request for a proposal from the Orange County Environment and Resource Conservation Department, as well as additional background information obtained from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, our previous archaeological work in the Orange and Durham county area (Joy and Becker 1999; Stine and Hargrove 1999), and our experience in documenting gristmills in the Carolina Piedmont region (Joy et al. 2000). Legacy proposes to provide the following services as requested by the RFP. Following background research, the initial stage of fieldwork will be an intensive survey for archaeological resources within the areas of the property that have been identified for the construction of park facilities, as well as the mill site located along the North Fork of the Little River. A limited field investigation will be conducted on the remainder of the property. The proposed studies will comply with pertinent state laws and regulations, including the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology's Guidelines for Preparing Archaeological Survey Reports and Archaeological Curation Standards and Guidelines. The research will also be compatible with relevant federal regulations and guidelines, including the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Procedures for the Protection of historic and Cultural Properties (36 CFR 60, 800 et seq.); and the Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and historic Preservation. The survey will also comply with the Register of Professional Archaeologists' Standards of Research Performance. RESEARCH METHODS The cultural resource survey will be conducted in four stages: (1) Literature and Background Research; (2) Field Investigations; (3) Laboratory Analysis; and (4) Technical Report of the Archaeological Investigations. Task 1: Literature and Background Research The first task will consist of a review of the available archaeological and historical literature concerning the project area. This work will be completed prior to the beginning of fieldwork. This research will provide data on known resources in and around the survey area, as well as the environmental and cultural perspectives necessary for interpreting the survey results, and will be fully documented in the final report. N, The background research will begin with a review of the state archaeological files at the North Carolina OSA to gather detailed information on the archaeological sites previously recorded in or adjacent to the study area. Preliminary examination of OSA files indicates that there are four previously recorded sites in the project area. These sites were recorded by Legacy in 1999 as part of the Phase 1 archaeological assessment of property being considered for development as a landfill. In general, however, the project is located in a portion of Orange and Durham counties that has not received intensive archaeological investigation. Any sites uncovered through this survey will add important information to our knowledge of the prehistory and history of the region. Based on previous work in the region we expect that most of the prehistoric sites will be located on ridges within approximately 1 km of main drainage channels as well as on ridge toes near the head of ephemeral tributaries (Joy and Becker 1999). The background research will also include examination of historic documents and maps to gather data on other potential site locations. Examples of relevant documents to be examined include early twentieth- century maps of the area (e.g., USGS 1904 -05), which depict house sites; general histories of Orange and Durham counties, and other studies of the environment, prehistory, and history of the area. Many of these resources are familiar to Legacy researchers through previous area projects (e.g., Joy and Becker 1999; Stine and Hargrove 1999). Another aspect of the Background Research will include consultation with OSA staff and others archaeologists and individuals knowledgeable concerning the project area. The Legacy staff is familiar with the South Lowell community and its historical importance to northern Durham and Orange counties. The history of that community will provide an important context for interpreting potential historic sites in the survey area. Dr. Stine witnessed some of the 1980 renovations of the circa 1853 McMannen House, located just southeast of the project area. At that time some stone foundations believed to be associated with the nineteenth - century South Lowell Academy were visible (see also Anderson 1990:82 -84). Dr. Stine has also visited one of the mill sites listed in the proposal. These sites may prove to be part of John B. Leather's nineteenth - century mill that was later purchased by Mr. McMannen, and renamed South Lowell Mill. This mill apparently manufactured specialized grain milling machines (Anderson 1990:82). Legacy researchers are familiar with mill research (e.g., Joy et. al. 2000) and look forward to investigating the survey area's mill sites as part of this study. Task 2: Fieldwork The following field methods will be used during the survey. These consist of pedestrian or walkover and surface survey complimented by subsurface inspection as appropriate for. the local topography and ground cover described further below. Walkover. Those parts of the survey area that exhibit over 15 percent slope will be investigated through walkover survey. Surface Survey. Surface survey consists of systematically examining bare ground to determine if artifacts or surface traces indicative of an archaeological site are present. Past experience has indicated that surface survey is effective only in situations where 50% m or more of the ground surface is visible and where there is no potential for buried (and thus obscured) archaeological resources. It is not effective in areas where less than 50 percent of the surface is exposed, or in places where alluvial or colluvial soil deposits are likely to be present. For the present project, this method will likely be used primarily in examining trails, dirt roads, or transmission line corridors. In such areas, the researchers will walk slowly along the exposed area looking for artifacts or other indications of an archaeological site. If larger areas of exposed ground are present, the researchers will traverse the area in transects spaced no more than 30 meters apart. The location of all areas examined through surface survey will be placed on the project map. Subsurface Survev. Most parts of the survey area will likely require subsurface testing due to the presence of vegetation. Such testing will consist of the excavation of systematic shovel tests at 30 -meter intervals along regularly spaced transacts placed at 30 -meter intervals. Shovel tests will not be excavated in areas where slope exceeds 15 percent, areas of standing water, or hydric soils. Each shovel test will measure about 30 -35 cm in diameter, and will be excavated to sterile subsoil, bedrock, or a maximum depth of 70 cm. All removed soil will be screened through one - quarter -inch mesh hardware cloth to ensure uniform artifact recovery. Each shovel test will be described in terms of depth, stratigraphy, and artifact recovery, and the texture and Munsell soil color of all soils will be recorded. The location of all survey transects will be placed on the project map. Site Delineation. When a site is encountered, standard procedures will be followed to gather preliminary data on cultural affiliation, site size and boundaries, integrity, and significance in terms of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. These procedures will likely include the excavation of additional shovel tests at 15 -meter to 7.5- meter intervals and /or intensive surface inspection, depending on site characteristics. All such testing will be confined to the project study corridor. A sketch map of each site discovered or relocated will be produced, and the site and its limits will be entered on the project map. The location of each shovel test will be placed on the site sketch map, and notes will be maintained on the soil profiles and artifact content of each shovel test. Each site will be photographed and general notes will be taken concerning site location and condition. Archaeological sites will be defined as occurrences of three or more artifacts within a discrete locale, and /or localities that exhibit evidence of intact surface or subsurface cultural features. Occurrences of fewer than three artifacts will be designated isolated finds, but sufficient investigations will be made to verify the isolated nature of the occurrence. All artifacts recovered will be bagged by site and intra -site provenience. The Principal Investigator and Field Director will maintain detailed notes on the survey methodology, sites identified on the survey, and relevant environmental factors. Cemeteries. Any cemeteries found will be recorded, but they will not be probed to determine boundaries or the number of graves present. If unmarked human burials or skeletal remains are found, the State Archaeologist will be notified immediately, following the provisions of north Carolina G.S. 70, Article 3, The Unmarked Human Burial and Skeletal Remains Protection Act. 5 Task 3: Laboratory Analysis and Reporting Once the fieldwork is completed, the archaeological materials will be returned to Legacy's Durham facility for processing. The artifacts will be cleaned and catalogued, and the artifact collection from each site will be studied to determine the date or dates of occupations present and the range of activities carried out at each site. The vertical and horizontal distributions of the materials from each site will be studied so that the nature and extent of the site can be better understood. Upon completion of the data analysis and synthesis, a draft final report will be submitted for review and comment. This report will detail the results of the background research, fieldwork, and laboratory analysis. The report will be illustrated with photographs and drawings of archaeological sites and artifacts, as needed, and will conform to the reporting standards presented in the OSA guidelines. In addition to the report, archaeological site forms will be completed for each recorded site or isolated find. North Carolina Cemetery Survey forms will be completed for all cemeteries recorded. Following receipt of comments on the draft report, we will address all comments and produce the Final Report. Legacy will temporarily curate all artifacts and records resulting from the project pending final curation and will prepare all materials for curation following OSA guidelines. The materials will be provided to the OSA for curation within 90 days of acceptance of the final report.
