Archaeological Survey and Reconnaissance Level Historic Architecture Survey Services

The government authority in Ames, IA requires a vendor to provide archaeological survey and reconnaissance-level historic architecture survey services. The requested scope includes creating a work plan for an archaeological intensive survey prior to urban residential neighborhood infrastructure improvements, asphalt street resurfacing, pedestrian facility upgrades, and sanitary and storm sewer structure replacements. The vendor must conduct a comprehensive desktop review of historical records and online sources, perform a single site visit from public rights-of-way to survey and photograph historic properties, and prepare a contract completion report featuring property tables, photographs, historical overviews, integrity assessments, and recommendations for further study. The buyer limits eligibility to US organizations performing work offsite. Bidders must submit questions by September 10, 2026, and digital proposals via email or online, as the buyer is currently seeking budget proposals.
