Van Milligen MCVM/jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, Corporation Counsel Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager i5D~~E ~<k~ MEMORANDUM March 14, 2006 FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager ~ TO: SUBJECT: Consultant Selection for Shot Tower Archeological Survey INTRODUCTION This memorandum transmits a recommendation for consultant selection for the Shot Tower Archeological Survey, for review and approval by the City Council. BACKGROUND The City has committed $200,000 for rehabilitation and interpretation of the Shot Tower as part of the America's River project at the Port of Dubuque. This City commitment has been used to leverage a $295,000 Save America's Treasures grant from the National Park Service and a $100,000 Historic Sites Preservation grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa for stabilization and rehabilitation of the Shot Tower. The City has committed an additional $25,000 for grant administration by ECIA (East Central Intergovernmental Association). In 2005, the City also received a $15,500 Historic Resource Development Program grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa for the archeological survey required by the National Park Service. We have estimated that archeological survey of the Shot Tower will cost approximately $30,000. The City's 1: 1 match will come from the federal grant and local funds already committed to this project. The archeological survey would be limited to two zones: 1) The area between the exterior walls of the Shot Tower foundation and the concrete foundation circle, and 2) The area within the interior walls of the Shot Tower foundation. DISCUSSION The City of Dubuque distributed a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified consulting firms to provide professional services for the Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigation, in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Archeological Documentation. Consultant Selection for Shot Tower Archeological Survey Page 2 Three (3) proposals were received in response to the RFP (see enclosures): Consultant Quote Schedule Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center, Inc. $14,315.47 The Louis Berger Group, Inc. $31,877.30 Wapsi Valley Archaeology $48,035.99 8 weeks 16 weeks 8 weeks The three proposals were reviewed by the Consultant Selection Committee, which included: Bob Schiesl, Assistant City Engineer; David Johnson, Assistant Planner; Kathy Sturm, Purchasing Coordinator; Mark Schneider, ECIA; and me. The Committee felt that both Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center, Inc. and The Louis Berger Group, Inc. responded well to the RFP, demonstrating a good understanding of the project parameters. Both consulting firms proposed using Strata Morph Geoexploration, Inc. as a sub-consultant to perform geomorphological investigation of the Shot Tower, which the Committee felt was appropriate for the unique constraints of the Shot Tower site. The Committee felt that Wapsi Valley Archaeology did not respond well to the RFP, proposed extensive excavation and hazardous mitigation work outside the project parameters, and exceeded the estimated budget. RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends that the City Council approve the selection of Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center, Inc. for the Archeological Survey of the Shot Tower, and authorize staff to negotiate a contract with the firm not to exceed $14,315.47 for professional services and related expenses. Great Lakes has the required qualifications and experience. A contract for $14,315.47 leaves a balance of nearly $16,000 in the budget in case additional archeological investigations, reports, and/or mitigation are required by the state or federal granting agencies. The firm's timeframe fits well within the overall project schedule. In the event that staff is unable to negotiate a contract for professional services with Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center, Inc., the Committee recommends that the City Council authorize staff to negotiate a contract for professional services with The Louis Berger Group, Inc. not to exceed $30,000.

During this time, GLARC has successfully completed over 180 projects conducted for federal and state agencies and private clients. The majority of these projects were conducted to assist clients with their responsibilities regarding compliance with federal and state laws pertaining to cultural resources and historic preservation. Because of the volume of the projects completed by GLARC over the past three years alone, a sample of projects and contracts are higWighted below. A sample of projects similar in scope to the archaeological and geomorphological investigations proposed for Ventura Marsh, that have been completed by GLARC include: . Archaeological and geomorphological investigations at Crystal Lake, Hancock County, Iowa . Archaeological and geomorphological investigations for the Spring Valley Reach Dredged Material Management Plan, Bureau and Putnam Counties, Illinois . Phase I Archaeological and Geomorphological Survey for the Historic Properties, Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers Flood Control Project, Polk County, Iowa, . Cultural Resources Management Plan and Preliminary Field Study Pertaining to the Agrimergent Technology Park Proposed for the City of Des Moines in Polk County, Iowa . Geoarchaeological Investigations at Blocks 35 and 36, City of Des Moines, Iowa 6 Request jor Proposals Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigations Archaeological and Geomorphological Investigations at Crystal Lake in Hancock County, Iowa Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center, Inc. and Strata Morph Geoexploration, Inc. conducted Phase I archaeological and geomorphological investigations for a proposed lake dredging project at Crystal Lake, in Hancock County, Iowa. The investigations were completed for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and were designed to partially fulfill stipulations included in the Programmatic Agreement Among the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, The Us. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District, and the Iowa State Historic Preservation Officer Concerning the Dredging of Crystal Lake, Hancock County, Iowa. The Programmatic Agreement was deemed necessary as the Corps determined that the issuance of a permit, authorizing the dredging action, may have an adverse effect on historic properties. As such, the Corps and DNR consulted with the Iowa State Historic Preservation Office in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, 16 U.S.C 470 (NHPA). The Progranunatic Agreement included stipulations for the identification and avoidance of historic properties. One specific stipulation was for the DNR to ensure that the Plan to IdentifY and Avoid Historic Properties within Crystal Lake, Hancock County, Iowa was developed, amended as necessary, and fully implemented. The Plan detailed four phases to identifY and evaluate historic properties, owing to the location, magnitude and complexity of the project. Phase I included the preparation of a cultural, environmental, and geomorphological context of Crystal Lake. Phase 2 consisted of a preliminary geomorphological evaluation, paleoenvironmental reconstruction, and limited archaeological sampling. Phase 3 was comprised of further geomorphological evaluation and archaeological sampling to define boundary areas determined to have a high potential of yielding archaeological materials. The final phase (phase 4) defined how identified archaeological sites and potentially sensitive areas are to be marked, avoided, and monitored. Archaeological and Geomorphological Investigations for the Spring Valley Reach Dredged Material Management Plan, Bureau and Putnam Counties, Illinois In 2004, GLARC and StrataMorph Geoexploration conducted Phase I archaeological and geomorphological investigations for the Spring Valley Reach Dredged Material Management Plan, Dredged Material Placement Coordination Areas 4, 7, 8, and 9, Illinois Waterway, Peoria Pool, Burean and Putnam counties, Illinois. The archaeological and geomorphological studies were completed on behalf of the United States Army Corps of Engineers-Rock Island District (Corps) and were conducted to partially fulfill requirements obtaining from the execution of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended in 1980 (p.L. 89-665), the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974, Executive Order 11593, and Title 36 ofthe Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 60-66 and 800. The project area included four coordination areas that together totalled 303.1 acres (106.5 hectares). The purpose of the archaeological and geomorphological studies was to locate and identifY historic properties prior to the long term placement of dredged material for the Dredged Material Management Plan in the Peoria Pool of the Illinois Waterway for the Spring Valley Reach dredge cuts. The investigations were comprised of archaeological background research, field survey, and geomorphological testing. The archaeological investigations identified one previously recorded site within the project area. Geomorphological testing identified deeply buried deposits in three ofthe coordination areas. Requestjor Proposals Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigations 7 Phase I Archaeological and Geomorphological Survey for the Historic Properties, Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers Flood Control Project, Polk County, Iowa In April 2004, Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center, Inc. (GLARC) and StrataMorph Geoexploration conducted Phase I archaeological and geomorphological investigations for the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers Flood Control Project, in Polk County, Iowa. The archaeological and geomorphological studies were completed on behalf of the United States Army Corps of Engineers-Rock Island District (Corps). The investigations were conducted to partially fulfill requirements obtaining from the execution of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended in 1980 (P.L. 89-665), the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act of 1974, Executive Order 11593, and Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 60-66 and 800. The survey areas included three project areas (Birdland Park, Central Place, and a Wetland Mitigation Area) that together totalled 70 acres (28.3 hectares). Geomorphological investigations, under the direction of Dr. Michael Kolb of Stratamorph Geoexploration, were conducted at Birdland Park and Central Place. The geomorphological testing at Birdland Park determined that this project area had low potential for archaeological site occurrence. Archaeological shovel testing of the buried surface identified at Birdland Park failed to yield evidence of cultural deposits. Geomorphological testing at Central Place revealed that this area had low potential for archaeological site occurrence. The Wetland Mitigation project area was shovel tested at 7.5 m and 15.0 m intervals. One site, an isolated find of an unknown prehistoric affiliation, was identified within the survey area. Cultural Resources Management Plan and Preliminary Field Study Pertaining to the Agrimergent Technology Park Proposed for the City of Des Moines in Polk County, Iowa GLARC, under contract with the City of Des Moines, prepared a Cultural Resources Management Plan specific to lands proposed for development as part of the Agrimergent Technology Park (park). The proposed Park included approximately 1100 acres located in the southeast corner of the City of Des Moines in Polk County, Iowa. Prior to completing the CRMP, GLARC performed three additional historic preservation tasks, which contribute valuable data to the Park CRMP. The three tasks required I) compilation of a land-use history about Park lands, 2) completion of an intensive Phase I archaeological survey of a proposed storm sewer facility, and 3) implementation of an archaeological sample survey of agricultural lands associated with the southern portion of the Park. The land use history study was derived from archival and geomorphological research and provided a context for defining and interpreting the range of site types that may occur within the Park boundary. The geomorphological study examined the southern two-thirds of the Park. Investigation of the proposed storm sewer facility located in the southern portion of the Park did not yield archaeological sites or reveal the potential presence of intact, deeply buried cultural deposits. The sample archaeological survey of the approximately 150 acres of agricultural fields located south of Vandalia Road and west of Southeast 48th Street resulted in survey coverage of approximately 139.5 acres of the field, which was surface collected at either 5 or 15 meter intervals. During the survey, researchers documented the remains of a late 19th- through early 20th-century schoolhouse location. 8 Request jor Proposals Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigations Geoarchaeological Investigations at Blocks 35 and 36, City of Des Moines, Iowa Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center (GLARe), assisted the Downtown Community Alliance, Des Moines, Iowa to partially fulfill requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic PreseIVation Act of 1966 (p.L. 89.665) as amended. Tasks included development of a draft Memorandum of Agreement, compilation of land use history at the proposed Court Avenue Neighborhood development site (Blocks 35 and 36), geoarchaeological field investigations, analyses of recovered data (at Block 35), and development of a draft Data Recovery Plan (DRP). Land use history seIVed to document that approximately 40.50% of Block 35 of the City of Des Moines has been modified to the degree that any former archaeological deposits have been obliterated by more recent construction. Field investigations, however, also identified prehistoric deposits in undisturbed contexts. The deposits lie within the boundaries of the site identified as Fort Des Moines No.2, previously determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The identified components are prehistoric and reflect both Late Woodland and Oneota occupations adjacent to 1st Street between Court Avenue and Vine Street.

(GLARC) performs field work during mid-March through early December, but can conduct field investigations whenever the ground is not frozen. Depending upon when the "Dubuque Shot Tower Archaeological Investigation" RFP is awarded, GLARC can easily undertake and complete the study during Spring 2006. Currently the proposed Principal Investigator (Michael M. Gregory) for the project has two long term projects slated to go during the 2006 field season; however, one will not begin until June and the other will be spread out during the months of April, May, and June. This schedule provides ample opportunity to perform the historical background research and field work necessary to complete the Shot Tower investigation. The field work will only take two (2) or three (3) days, and the historic background research will require only two days with the assistance of students from Loras College of Dubuque. Due to the limited duration of the Shot Tower study, the project will not be hindered by other scheduled projects being pursued by GLARC during the Spring months of the 2006 field season. Project Approach to the Scope of Services 10 Request jor Proposals Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigations 3.0 Scope of Services Project Description The Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigation will combine archaeological and geomorphological research methodologies to resolve conflicting mid-19th and early 20th-century accounts about the structural height of the Shot Tower and to evaluate the immediate area of the Tower to determine its potential to yield additional archeological materials. In addition, data generated by the study will be used to determine the best way to manage the site in regards to existing and future threats to the property and to assist the Iowa Department of Natural Resources determine the level of residual contaminant by- products resulting from lead shot production at the Shot Tower property. In order to meet these goals, a stepped research design will be executed for the study. The stepped approach consists of seven research activities that create a hierarchy oftasks, which lay a basis for each ensuing task(s). Tasks consist of archivaV literature research, field mobilization, geomorphological investigation, preliminary field analysis of data, archaeological excavations, formatting field data for interpretation, and report preparation/finalization. This stepped structure permits the study to be completed in an orderly and efficient manner; a task is not performed until relevant prior research or activities had been completed. Of the seven research tasks, five primary ones, which are discussed in greater detail in the following sections, are archivaVliterature review, geomorphological field investigations, archaeological excavations, laboratory analyses, and report preparation. ArchivaULiterature Review A variety of archival materials and background literature may be reviewed for the Shot Tower study. These materials will include geomorphological and paleo-environmental studies, historical accounts describing the shot tower and its surrounding area, and archaeological and architectural evaluations of the property. Review of geomorphological and paleo-environmental studies will be very useful for characterizing the sedimentological context of the area and providing a context for interpreting sediments exposed during the geomorphological and archaeological field work. Historical records related to the Shot Tower will be reviewed in light of the geomorphological data derived from existing studies in order to determine if the two sources when viewed together provide insights about discrepancics between 19th- and 20th-century accounts of the structure's height. Air photos, newspaper stories, land survey records, local histories, and other historical documents will be reviewed as deemed necessary, and when specific records, issues, or accounts, for example, a news account of a specific flood event, can be identified from the data records. Geomorphological Field Work The geomorphological field investigation will consist of extracting four soil cores from the exterior of the Shot Tower walls and one-to-three from sediments associated with the interior of the structure. A tnlck mounted Geo-probe will be used to take four exterior core samples, which will be extracted from each side of the Shot Tower. Due to the presence of a stone retaining wall with iron fencing and 4-to-5 feet gated opening surrounding the structure, the mounted Geo-probe cannot be taken into the fenced area, and as a result, exterior cores will be taken immediately outside of the fenced area. The advantages of the Geo- probe over other coring devices are that the Geo-probe is minimally intrusive, having very little impact on archaeological or architectural features, and can be used to penetrate stiff, resistant stratigraphic deposits. Request jor Proposals Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigations If In addition, the core is continuous, producing a readily interpretable soil sequence and may be subjected to various chemical, environmental, and archaeological analyses. Recovery of four cores will permit tight correlation of sedimentary deposits adjoining all sides of the Shot Tower, and this will allow more detailed and controlled interpretation of the conditions that created the sequences and what these mean in terms of the construction and height of the Tower. On the interior of the Shot Tower, the sedimentary sequence and possible well area will be investigated using a hand coring device or a power auger. One-to-three bores will be made, the number depending upon the quality of the subsurface data generated by the initial soil bore. The depth of the cores and the stratigraphic sequence of the post-1930s flood water deposits will be interpreted with the 1934 Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) drawing measurements in order to determine the presence of the well opening and the accuracy of the historical drawings. These results may then be correlated with the information derived from the exterior soil cores in order to determine the depth of the Shot Towers foundation base and the significance ofthe sediments adjoining the exterior walls in terms of how they have influenced the interpretation of the Shot Tower's elevation. Archaeological Field Work Archaeological field investigations will be performed as needed and will be based upon the results of the geomorphological study. Specifically, archaeological excavations, which may include hand dug 1.5 meter (m) by 0.5 m, or 2.0 m by 0.5 m test trench units, may be used to investigate stratigraphic sequences, recover archaeological materials, or expose architectural features that do no extend more than 4.5 feet below the ground surface. Excavation below the stated depth will require shoring or larger excavated areas to insure worker safety, and such work, especially extensively excavated areas, may pose a threat to the Shot Tower. In summary, archaeological field work will yield data needed to fine-tune geomorphological observations and interpretations. Laboratory Analyses Depending upon their nature, project related soil cores, artifacts, maps, records, notes, and other documentation generated during field investigation of the Shot Tower will be brought back either to the GLARe laboratory or that of the geomorphologist for analysis. Laboratory staff will process artifacts and samples according to standard archaeological or soil laboratory procedures. Archeological field notes, maps, and photographs will be reviewed and prepared for report publication, while artifacts will be cleaned, analyzed, and prepared for curation. Soil cores will be cut open, examined, described, and interpreted. Sediments may be screened for archaeological materials if such an action is deemed appropriate, and specific segments of cores will be selected for further analysis that evaluates sediments for contaminant lead content levels. Up to 20 samples will be sent to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Soil and Plant Analysis Laboratory for lead content levels. Report Preparation Upon completion of the analyses and interpretation of geomorphological and archaeological data, an Archeological Documentation Report (Report of Investigations) will be prepared according to the scope 12 Request jor Proposals Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigations of work identified in the "Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigation RFP". The report will discuss the methodology/procedures used to investigate the Shot Tower, the results of such investigation, and recommendations for the cultural resources management of the structure and any associated archeological components. Request for Proposals Dubuque Shot Tower Archeological Investigations 13 4.0 Proposed Project Schedule Great Lakes Archaeological Research Center, Inc. (GLARC) will begin the project within three (3) working days of being given a "Notice to Proceed" with the project.

Client Reference: Quindaro Ruins Archaeological Park, Kansas City, Kansas Client: Western University Association, Kansas City Kansas Community College, Unified Government of Kansas City, Kansas Dr. Steve Collins, Western University Association (913-288-7320) Christopher Schoen, Principal Investigator and Author May-July 2005 Key Personnel: Project Dates: In the spring of2005, The Louis Berger Group, Inc. completed data recovery investigations at the site of the former Quindaro Brewery (Feature 34) at the Quindaro Ruins Archaeological Park (l4WY314) located in Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas. The investigation was funded by a Save America's Treasures grant awarded by the National Park Service to the Western University Association, Kansas City Kansas Community College, and Unified Government of Kansas City, Kansas. Quindaro was established in 1857 as the first free-slave port on the Missouri River in Kansas Territory and was an important waypoint on the Underground Railroad. The Quindaro Brewery was constructed and operated by Jacob Zehntner and Henry Steiner between 1857 and 1859. The brewery included a large subterranean arched stone cellar behind a two-story stone tavern, which featured a taproom on the ground floor and an apartment on the second floor. Both the cellar and tavern were built into the hillside. According to oral history, the brewery was used as a school for Afro-American children and may have been the original site of Freeman University in 1865. The college became Western University in 1881. Between 1870 and 1951 the building was a duplex residence. Although the cellar remained virtually intact, the upper walls of the tavern collapsed over time. . 6 II The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Prior to stabilization and reconstruction of sections of the tavern walls, Berger took a series of detailed, stereo-optical photographs ofthe remains to be used for dismantling and rebuilding the wall segments. Test excavations were completed in the tavern and cellar to determine the character of fill deposits, document construction methods, determine the depth and construction of the floor, and recover artifacts that might be associated with the early history of the brewery. Finally, the rubble was removed to make the remains accessible to the public as part of the archaeological park. Key Personnel: Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway, Polk County, Iowa.

Related to, and immediately north of, the parkway was the planned Court A venue Entertainment Project Parking Lot. The work for the parkway was done for the City of Des Moines, with funding from the Federal Highway Administration through the Iowa Department of Transportation. The project passed through the location of Fort Des Moines No.2 (Site 13PK61), a frontier military post occupied between 1843 and 1846. The post compound became the site of the Town of Fort Des Moines (1846-1875) following the fort'll abandonment. The muIticomponent site also included prehistoric deposits from Archaic, Woodland, and Moingona phase Oneota occupations. Site 13PK760, located immediately west of 13PK61, also included Town of Fort Des Moines deposits. Both sites were determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Data recovery was restricted to utility trenches and areas of the roadway which impacted the native soil, which was usually buried below 30 to 200 centimeters of modem fill. Mechanical trenching was done to remove fill above the native soil along utility centerlines. Systematic subsurface testing was done to evaluate site integrity and sample deposits. Several test units were excavated to more fully document site deposits and sample features. Features were documented, sectioned, and excavated entirely within the width and depth of the impact areas. The excavations uncovered the remains of three Fort Des Moines barracks buildings built and used by enlisted soldiers stationed at the Fort and recovered dozens of artifacts associated with the US military occupation. The Federal Highway Administration and Iowa Department of Transportation invited representatives of the Ioway, Sauk, Meskwaki, Oto and Missouria to visit the project and to review and comment on the project on behalf ofthe City. All investigations were closely coordinated with the City, the City'll engineering contractor, Earth Tech, Inc., and the State Historic Preservation Office. An agreement . 7 II The Louis Berger Group, Inc. was reached with the SHPO to review the City'll compliance with Section 106 based on summary field reports prepared as fieldwork was completed for each project segment. In this way, SHPO clearance was obtained for each project segment in a matter of days, thus allowing construction to continue without interruption. Archaeological Data Recovery at the Backes/Geers Farmstead, Stearns County, Minnesota Client: Minnesota Department of Transportation Client Reference: G. Joseph Hudak/Elizabeth Abe/ (65/-296-61/6)/(651-284-3244) Key Personnel: Randy Withrow, Project Manager Christopher Schoen, Principal Investigator and Author Project Dates: December 2002 - March 2003 In December 2002, Berger completed data recovery excavations at the Backes-Geers Farmstead, which lies along the proposed highway improvements for Trunk Highway 23 between 1-94 and Richmond in Stearns County," Minnesota. Berger developed the DRP based on mitigation requirements from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The Nicholaus Backes family and the Bernhard Geers families were among the enclave of German Catholics who helped to settle and develop Stearns County in the mid to late 19th century. Four Ixl meter test units and two slot trenches were excavated at the site. Data recovery investigations were designed to locate and document the cellar that had been under the cabin and recover artifacts and archival information that could be used to address research questions about site chronology and architecture, changing economic and social aspects of a small family farm during the 19th century, subsistence strategies and consumer behavior. The final report was submitted to the Minnesota DOTin March 2003. Trunk Highway 55, Hennepin County, Minnesota Client: Minnesota Department of Transportation Client Reference: GJoseph Hudak, Chief Archaeologist (651-296-6/16) Key Personnel: Randy Withrow, Project Manager Christopher Schoen, Principal Investigator Project Dates: April 2000 - September 2002 r I I. In 2000 and 2001 Berger completed archaeological monitoring for the realignments of Trunk Highway 55 and Trunk Highway 62 in south Minneapolis, Minnesota. The realignment ofT.H. 55 passed through an area considered to have potential to contain Native American burials as well as the archaeological remains of "Camp Coldwater" (1820-1840), an early military camp and pioneer settlement representing one ofthe first non-Indian settlements in Minnesota. Berger archaeologists also monitored road construction activities along a segment of T.H. 62 reportedly used as a Protestant Cemetery during the 1830s. While no human remains were encountered, investigations conducted for utility placements along the road corridor uncovered archaeological remains associated with the historic Camp Coldwater settlement, including the probable location of the settlement's blacksmith. The site deposits were ultimately determined to have been too disturbed by modem development to be considered historically significant, and the remains were evaluated not . 8 II The Louis Berger Group, Inc. eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. II. SCOPE OF SERVICES RESEARCH OBJECTIVES Berger understands from the RFP that the primary research objectives include: . Collecting background information about the Shot Tower; . Determining the depth of fill over the 1850s ground surface; . Determining whether artifacts or archaeological features associated with the operation ofthe Dubuque Shot Tower between 1856 and 1858 are present; and Determine whether the 1934 HABS illustration of the tower foundation is accurate. Other research objectives may include: Recovery of information about the construction of the tower's floor; and . Determining whether a cold water vat was constructed below the level of the tower floor. RESEARCH PLAN The archaeological investigation at the Dubuque Shot Tower will focus on two areas: the tower interior and the area between the exterior walls of the tower and the concrete foundation circle. Tower Exterior Investigation of the exterior of the Shot Tower is challenged by the restricted space in which the work can be done given the tower's location in the light industrial neighborhood and health and safety factors such as (I) vehicular traffic flow, (2) vibration created by heavy trucks and the railroad, (3) stability of fill materials, and (4) the potential for unsafe levels of hazardous materials. Berger proposes to minimize the effect of these variables by cost-effective, limited subsurface testing. Soil cores will be advanced at the exterior side of the tower where there is greatest space between the tower and the barrier wall to (I) record the stratigraphy of the fill and native strata; (2) determine the depth of the 1859 ground surface and associated deposits relating to the use of the tower to produce shot; (3) obtain soil samples for assay oflead or hazardous materials used at the site; and (4) determine the depth and width of each of the stone spread footings. The soil cores will be taken using a truck-mounted hydraulic geoprobe which can advance cores to up to 12 meters (39.4 feet), depending on the nature of the strata or fill. The geoprobe cannot penetrate concrete, asphalt, cobbles, and bedrock, but can penetrate sand, silt, clay, peat, and small gravels. The cores will be taken by Strat-Morph Geoexploration, Inc. . 9 II The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Ifthe depth of the 1850s ground surface is less than three meters (ten feet), samples of the surface may be collected at regular intervals using Seymour bucket augers. The matrix from the historic surface would be sifted to collect artifacts. Tower Interior Excavation will be done in the tower interior to collect information about the character and dimensions of the fill below the bird droppings (guano). Evidence of a subfloor cold water vat for cooling the lead balls may be present as well as the base of the wooden stairwell. Photographs and the 1934 Historic American Building Survey (HABS) illustration ofthe tower suggest that as much as 15 feet of the base of the tower may be buried. Berger proposes using a Seymour bucket auger with a six-inch (I5-centimeter) diameter bucket to auger through the bird droppings to determine the depth of this deposit before this material is removed. This information can be used to guide the removal of the droppings so that the archaeological deposits below the guano are not impacted. The augers can reach up to three meters (ten feet) and so may also be used to collect data about the depth of the archaeological deposits that lie within three meters of the top of the current guano surface. Berger proposes taking five Seymour bucket auger samples: at the center of the tower interior and at the center of each of the four walls. Soil from the augers can be used to sample the levels of lead or other hazardous materials in the matrix. Hand excavation of the tower interior will be done after the bird droppings are mitigated and other potential environmental contaminants are determined. The excavations will be performed using students from the Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Interpretation Program at Loras College of Dubuque under the direction ofthe Principal Investigator. The area of the tower interior is 13.2 x 13.2 feet (about 4.0 x 4.0 meters) square. Four one-meter-square test units across the center of the tower may provide data about the organization of the tower interior during the 1850s, including the presence and dimensions of a cold water vat if it was set into the floor of the tower. Artifacts associated with the construction of the tower or its operation between 1856 and 1859 may also be collected. Architectural information about the character of the tower floor might be present. Excavation units will be dug using shovels in 10 centimeter arbitrary levels, but artifacts from different strata identified within each level will be separated. The results of each excavated level will be described using form standardized by Berger. Information such as unit size, location, depth of excavation, soil color and texture, number and type of artifacts will be recorded. Soil texture will be described using United State Department of Agriculture (USDA) terminology. Soil color will be recorded using a Munsell Soil Color Chart. A profile of the cross-section created by the four adjacent test units will be drawn to scale and photographed. Any discovered features will be drawn in plan. The feature will be bisected to create a profile, which will be illustrated and photographed. Excavated matrix will be sifted through 1/4-inch mesh hardware cloth to facilitate artifact recovery. Artifacts, such as stone, brick, and highly corroded metal may only be sampled. Objects from each excavation provenience (i.e. unit level or feature level) will be placed in a resealable clear plasticc . 10 II The Louis Berger Group, Inc. bag with a preprinted cardstock tag on which the pertinent provenience information has been recorded. Recovered artifacts will be taken to Berger's Marion, Iowa laboratory for cleaning, sorting, inventory and analysis. PROJECT COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION Berger recognizes that project coordination and effective communication are key elements for all successful archaeological investigations, but is critical for excavations performed in urban environments where traffic flow and pedestrian safety are issues. Berger understands that the fieldwork must be scheduled when truck traffic is likely to be lower. The work also must be performed when students from Loras College are available to participate. In addition, the sequence of work tasks needs to be organized. For instance, Berger proposes bucket auger excavation in the tower interior to determine the depth of the bird droppings before the City's contractor for mitigation of the bird droppings from the tower interior complete their task. The guano removal and determination ofthe level of environmental contamination from the historical production of shot is necessary before hand excavation can begin. Berger will coordinate and consult with: The City of Dubuque and the National Park Service (NPS) to obtain any permits that are necessary prior to conducting fieldwork. . The City's contractor to monitor mitigation of the bird droppings from the tower interior. . The Iowa Department of Natural Resources for a Phase II environmental study to determine the presence of residual environmental contaminants from the historical production oflead. . Loras College of Dubuque to plan for participation of students in the Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Interpretation Program. . The City, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) at the State Historical Society of Iowa (SHSI), and the National Park Service to discuss the archaeological investigation. . The City, SHPO, and NPS for review of a technical report describing the results of the investigation and any recommendations. . The professionally registered engineer or architect retained by the City to discuss any information that might contribute to the plans and specifications for rehabilitation work for the tower. HEAL TH AND SAFETY Several health and safety issues are presented by the proposed project, including confined spaces (shot tower interior), possible lead contaminants, vehicle traffic, and vibration from heavy trucks. A health and safety plan will be prepared by Berger identifying potential hazards and the procedures for addressing them. The plan will include emergency contact numbers and a mapped route to a nearby medical facility. The Principal Investigator for the proposed project has completed excavation trench safety and . 11 II The Louis Berger Group, Inc. Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training, both of which relate to working in confined spaces. The Principal Investigator will serve as the Competent Person on site for confined spaces safety. Excavation within the Shot Tower will necessarily include removal of all material to avoid the need for use of hydraulic shoring. The walls of the tower are stable and no other supports are required. Fill in the tower is expected to exceed five (feet). Excavation offill in test units would create trench- like conditions. Therefore, excavation offill above the original floor level of the tower will be done in 30 to 60 centimeter (I to 2 foot) increments all across the interior. The tall hollow interior of the tower creates some natural ventilation. However, additional ventilation may be found necessary to ensure that carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide do not accumulate in the lower levels of the tower during the investigation. Berger will provide appropriate monitoring and ventilating equipment if conditions warrant. III. PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE Because the project scheduling is dependent on the scheduled activities of commercial trucking and construction in the project vicinity, specific dates for the following tasks can not be determined at this time. Therefore, a general timetable is presented. Task I. Background Research and Project Planning Background research and project planning will be initiated within two weeks of written notice to proceed (NTP). The tasks include: . Checking I-Sites on line to determine whether there are recorded sites within the vicinity of the project. . Conducting archival research about the Dubuque Shot Tower and other shot towers at the Iowa State Historical Society in Iowa City, Dubuque County Historical Society, and public library. . Berger will contact Loras College to determine when students would be available to participate in the archaeological investigation. . Coordination with the City to find out when vehicle volume is expected to be low in the project area and when mitigation of the bird droppings is planned. . Coordination with the Iowa Department ofN atural Resources to determine when the Phase II environmental survey for residual contaminants will be made and discuss whether Berger's activities can contribute to their study. . Submission a research plan to the City, the SHPO, and NPS for review. . Coordination with the architect or engineer for the planned rehabilitation work and discuss whether Berger's activities can contribute to that task. Task 2. Archaeological and Geomorphological Survey The following tasks will be performed within two weeks of approval ofthe research plan.

(Berger) is pleased to submit this proposal to you in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) to perform archaeological investigations at the site of the historic Dubuque Shot Tower. As Iowans involved in preservation research, we are of course very familiar with this famous landmark and are very excited about the City's plan to investigate this rare historic site. Our firm specializes in cultural resource consulting and is very familiar with the Port of Dubuque area, having completed archaeological investigations for the Alliant Amphitheater and Bell Street Extension projects in 2002. We are also proud to have StrataMorph Geoexplorations, Inc. join our project team. As explained in our Scope of Services (see Part II), we propose using geologic cores to explore the area surrounding the Shot Tower to help determine the nature and depth of the foundation. StrataMorph owns and operates a truck-mounted Geoprobe coring device which is capable of penetrating mixed fill deposits and is therefore uniquely suited to this task. As recommended in the RFP, our proposed scope of services also includes a plan to permit students enrolled in the Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Interpretation Program at Loras College of Dubuque to participate in the investigations and thereby obtain experience in urban archaeology at an unusual and historically significant site. As requested, we have attached one original and four (4) copies of our proposal. It includes a description of our firm, qualifications of key personnel who will be involved in the project, examples of our work experience (with references), a scope of services, and a proposed work schedule. We have also included a detailed cost estimate (I original) under separate cover.

Our knowledge of this project was greatly enhanced when Wapsi Valley personnel visited with you and other members of the Dubuque Planning Department about the Shot Tower. We also appreciated the on-site tour of the Shot Tower and an explanation of some of the past and proposed future uses of the Tower. We have been in contact with Mr. Ronald Balmer of IIW Engineering who has complied an extensive documentation concerning the history of the Shot Tower. Mr. Balmer was just back from vacation one day before this proposal was to be submitted and gave us his personal viewpoints about the possible depth and configuration of sediments within and outside of the Shot Tower. Finally, we have briefly discussed our proposal with Mr. Doug Jones, State Historic Preservation Archaeologist to apprise him of our intentions regarding this project. We understand that the Dubuque RFP requested an investigation of both the interior and exterior portion of the Shot Tower site. Wapsi Valley has two main points to make concerning the proposed undertaking. It is our intention that the main focus of the investigation center on the deposits in the interior of the Tower. The area outside of the Tower is very constrained and lies beneath a well-used extant roadway. We fully understand the desire to investigate this exterior area and recognize its archaeological potential. Such an excavation may require a large opening and possibiy the temporary closing of the road. We have recommended a possible staged approach for initiating such an excavation and will coordinate with the City of Dubuque should your office decide to pursue such an undertaking. Our quote includes a cost proposal with a baseline of a 20 day excavation period. However, one of the concerns is the unknown factors regarding the depth and nature of the deposits within the Shot Tower. For example, a subsurface well mayor may not exist below the original floor of the structure. A number of other uncertainties exist pertaining to what mayor may not be found. We have tried to put together a reasonable proposai based on a certain number of assumptions that mayor may not be found to be valid. We have therefore provided a prorated per day cost to reflect the actual costs of the work done. If you have any questions regarding our proposal feel free to contact me at the above number. We look forward to working with the City of Dubuque at the beginning of the process to rehabilitate an outstanding landmark. ~0Y" /) QiP~ /1 (~-"-1:fu Michael R. Finn Cultural Resources Management.

Finn, Archaeology, Principal Archaeologist and Owner 1 At least six severe floods have possibly inundated the Shot Tower. These range in time from 1881 to 1969. The Dubuque Floodwall was completed in 1973. The sediment load carried by these floodwaters is not known but it is possible that each flood episode left a discrete sediment layer in the Shot Tower interior fill. General Excavation Considerations ,. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Ie .. Ie .. .. we Ie .. .. Ie Ie Ie ,. ,. . Ie . . . . Based on the available background information, there are potentially three separate archaeological contexts in and around the Shot Tower. These consist of the interior fill covering the well, the fill that fills the well, and the buried surfaces lying outside the structure. A hypothetical cross-section of these deposits is presented in Figure 1. However, precisely calculating the relative depths and thicknesses of these deposits is hampered by certain factors. The most confounding issue is the possible discrepancies between the 1934 HABS plans and other visual sources. The 1934 HABS drawings depict a total of 10 floors with window openings. However, only nine were exposed on the outside of the building at the time. In a 1934 HABS photograph, the ground level around the Shot Tower appears to be 5 to 6 feet lower than today. If the 1934 drawn plans are indeed accurate and were made from direct observations, then 10 to 12 feet of fill was dug out on at least one side of the building to expose the depicted doorway. The condition of the interior in 1934 is completely unknown, but the HABS surveyors also produced a plan of the interior floor showing a 6 by 6 foot well opening. Presumably, the basal floor and well opening lied near the elevation of the original ground level. The veracity of the 1934 documentation is open to interpretation. Ronald Balmer (personal communication) has stated to us that the HABS drawing may be completely false. The consequences for the excavation will be discussed in the following pages. None of the photographs of the Shot Tower show more than nine floors with window openings and there is no clear evidence of any excavation to expose the supposedly buried ground floor. The existence of the interior well is even questionable. The molten shot may simply have dropped into a large kettle of water as was done at some other shot towers. If the 1934 drawings are accurate, the total thickness of the interior deposits above the well may be in the vicinity of 18 feet. However, if the HABS plans are erroneous, then something less than 10 feet of fill is present. The nature and content of this fill is not known and all or some of it may have been disturbed during the 1934 HABS documentation. Ifthere are intact deposits here, these could relate to various filling episodes, the 1911 fire, and/or the various floods that have occurred since the mid-nineteenth century. Identifying these strata and correlating them with the documented history of the structure would be a critical goal of the archaeological investigation. 4 well as in Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, and Wisconsin. He has worked on sites whose time periods range from the Early Paleoindian Martens Site in Missouri to the late-nineteenth century/early twentieth century brick privy at the Jacksonport State Park in Arkansas. Morrow has conducted projects of all kinds through his work in CRM including Phase IA studies, numerous Phase I surveys, many Phase II test excavations, and four Phase III mitigations. He is qualified for both historic and prehistoric archaeological investigations. Scope of Services Current and Past Conditions in and around the Shot Tower A general chronology of events pertaining to the Shot Tower and its general surroundings is provided in Appendix A at the end of this proposal. Several events have potentially left their marks on the archaeological record contained in and around the structure. The Shot Tower was originally constructed on a peninsula of land between a long slough and the main river channel. Apparently, the ground surface around the Shot Tower was not level when the structure was built but appears to have sloped somewhat to the west/southwest. Perhaps 5 to 10 feet of fill of unknown origin and composition was laid over the area after 1872 and before 1875, filling in the sloughs and forming the present land north of the Dubuque Harbor. The depth of the 1856 ground surface is not clearly known. If a detailed contemporary illustration is accurate, it should lie between 5 and 10 feet below the present ground surface. Although uncertain, it seems likely that the top of the interior well is at or near the 1856 ground elevation. A detailed illustration of the Shot Tower apparently made when the structure was in active use shows a one story wooden frame buiiding attached to what may be the north-northeast side of the tower. If this drawing is accurate, the side structure measured approximately 45 feet by 20 feet and was built on wooden piers elevating the building about 5 to 10 feet off the ground. The ground surface illustrated on the drawing is now deeply buried and the area is capped with concrete and asphalt. An attached two story side structure is depicted on another early illustration; however, this drawing appears quite stylized and may not be totally accurate. The Shot Tower is situated near the head of Mississippi River Pool 12. The downstream dam at Bellevue was completed in 1936. Normal pool level in the adjacent Mississippi River is now 592 feet AMSL. According to the engineer's plan map, the Shot Tower sits on ground that is around 610 feet AMSL. The water table should lay about 18 feet below. The typical level of the Mississippi River in 1856 is not known but probably wasn't much different than today. 3 The depth of the interior well, if present, is not known, but it may be relatively shallow, given its low, floodplain location. The content of the well fill is not known, nor is it known when the well filled in. However, if 1850s era artifacts are present in the well, they should be near the bottom of the feature. The ground around the Shot Tower probably has the greatest potential for containing a large and varied assemblage of mid-nineteenth century debris. The sloping ground below the tower base and the area beneath the attached shed were likely dumping areas. These surfaces probably now lay 5 to 10 feet underground and were sealed off around 1875 when the local area was raised and filled. If the old drawing is accurate, postmolds from the piers holding up the side shed should also be preserved. Excavation Strategy The interior of the Shot Tower presents numerous challenges for an archaeological investigation. First, it is a confined space, measuring just over 13 feet square. Second, the thickness of fill down to the top of the well may approach 10 feet or more. Third, the precise nature and content of this fill is not known; however, the material is almost certainly unconsolidated and therefore somewhat unstable. All of these factors directly affect the strategy for excavation. . Before the actual excavation is undertaken, Wapsi Valley Archaeology proposes to interview and consult with Ronald Balmer of IIW Engineering to obtain access to his accumulated documentation pertaining to the history of the Shot Tower. We plan to use his expertise and advice to refine the excavation strategy proposed below. The City of Dubuque will be apprised of what we learn from Mr. Balmer and any anticipated alterations in the following excavation plan will be discussed. ~ . ~ E 9- .- I ~ " The inside of the Shot Tower is currently covered by accumulated deposit of bird droppings of unknown thickness. The RFP provided by the City of Dubuque states that this material will be removed by an independent contractor hired by the City. We respectfully suggest coordinating the removal of the bird droppings with the contracting archaeologist. The thickness of the bird dropping layer is not known, but it's likely that birds have been roosting inside the tower since the 1911 fire. Therefore, the bird dropping strata may lie directly over the 1911 burn deposit and may be commingled with strata potentially deposited inside the tower since that time. .~ Due to the potential depth of the interior excavations and the unconsolidated nature of the deposits, it will not be possible to safely excavate a small test unit, such as a standard 1 by 1 m square, below more than 90 cm depth. Further, there is not room inside the tower to effectively step in or slope the excavation to 6 ~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~ Fill /1856 Ground Level ?I --- ----- ----- Well Fill Water Table? ca. 18' 8. G.

Such an excavation would likely involve tearing out a large area of the present asphalt and concrete cover and the mechanical removal of up to 10 feet or more of fill. We propose, if permissions can be granted, to employ a hydrohammer and backhoe to chip through the surface asphalt and concrete outside the shot tower and enclosing stone circle so that deep hand auger tests can be attempted to reach and sample the 1856 surface. We will rely on the City of Dubuque to provide the backhoe and operator for this work and the subsequent repairs when the holes are refilled. Such excavations will not be able to penetrate through the underlying fill if it consists of large rocks and gravel. However, it may be possible to ascertain the nature and thickness of the overlying fill and to assess, at least in a minimal way, the presence or absence of mid-nineteenth century artifacts and the topography of the old surface. This would provide the information necessary to form a realistic excavation strategy, should the City of Dubuque elect to investigate these deposits. If the City desires, we can employ the services of a contractor using ground penetrating radar (GPR) to further investigate the area around the Shot Tower. The cost for this research is approximately $2,000.00 per day. We caution, however, that GPR mayor may not be an effective strategy as it could be unduly affected by the surface layers of concrete and asphalt, and the fill overlying the 1856 surface may contain numerous obstructions and possibly be too thick for any detection of mid-nineteenth century features. We understand students from Loras College want to be involved with the project. Wapsi Valley Archaeology staff members have numerous years of field school experience in training students in excavation and labwork. We will be happy to involve these volunteers in the excavation process and coordinate with Loras College in this endeavor. Volunteer contributions to the overall work effort will reduce the total project costs depending on the scope of their involvement. Analysis and Report Preparation All artifacts, both modern and historical, recovered during the course of the investigation will be cleaned and processed for identification and further analysis. Artifacts will be identified with particular attention to their age and function as they pertain to the history of the Shot Tower. A detailed report describing the results of the excavation will be prepared for the City of Dubuque. This report will incorporate the background research obtained from Ronald Balmer and other sources. The report will describe the methods employed in the field and laboratory, document the stratigraphy of the interior fill, its artifactual contents, and relate these data to the chronology of the Dubuque 8 a total depth of greater than 4 or 5 feet. Shoring would allow some security for deeper excavations but this alternative is both costly and cumbersome. Shoring also hinders the documentation of soil strata exposed in vertical walls. Therefore, we propose the most effective and safest way of approaching the Shot Tower interior is to completely excavate all of the fill down to the original ground floor at the top of the hypothesized well opening. Some controls will need to be maintained in the process of digging through and removing the interior fill. We intend to excavate two 1 by 1 meter control units located in opposite corners of the interior. These control units will be dug in 10 cm arbitrary levels and all of the removed fill will be passed through 1/4 inch screen to recover artifacts. These control units will not be taken deeper than a maximum continuous depth of 90 cm (3 feet). Vertical profiles exposed in these control units will be described, drawn, and photographed. The stratigraphy and artifact content revealed by these control units will determine the approach taken for the remaining sediments at that level. If significant, historic artifact bearing layers are encountered, these will be dug and screened as described above. If the strata are found to be devoid of artifacts or other relevant clues pertaining to the history of the tower, these layers will be removed without screening. Once the entire interior has been taken down to about 1 m depth, the corner control units will be excavated out as before to determine the nature of the underlying layers and the process will be repeated as necessary to reach the base of the fill. Because of the confined space of the Shot Tower's interior, it will not be possible to employ any heavy excavation equipment to remove what may turn out to be thick layers of historically insignificant fill. These interior deposits will have to be excavated by hand. Some mechanical means of carrying the excavated sediment out of the tower will be essential, especially with increasing depth. We propose to employ a system, such as a vacuum excavator, to carry the hand excavated sediment out of the tower. The excavated sediment will be stockpiled at an agreed upon space outside the Shot Tower and enclosing fence for eventual disposal or relocation by the City of Dubuque. Appendix B of this proposal provides some weights and volumes of the fill dirt that may be excavated. .J The interior well, if present, is anticipated to be considerably smaller than the interior of the Shot Tower above and therefore a smaller volume of sediment will need removal. However, we expect the well fill will lay partially or completely beneath the present day water table resulting in heavy and saturated sediments. Some dewatering system, such as a sump pump, will be needed to dig into the well. Excavation of the well fill will proceed in a manner similar to that employed in the overlying deposits with a control unit dug in advance. Unfortunately, the 1856 land surface around the Shot Tower is now deeply buried, capped with asphalt and concrete, and is sandwiched between the adjacent railroad tracks and the Peavey Warehouse.

However, we realize that the City may wish to delay the project until later in the year, for example to avoid truck traffic around the barge terminal. Wapsi Valley will endeavor to meet the scheduling needs of the City. Fees and Compensation Because there are so many important unknowns, as discussed above in the Proposed Project Schedule, a baseline cost is provided for the excavation of 3 meters of fill from the Shot Tower Interior. The cost proposal for this work can be found in the accompanying document. Any additional time needed to completely excavate the interior and possibly the hypothesized underlying well will be priced out on a pro-rated basis that will be negotiated with the City of Dubuque when and if unanticipated discoveries are made. ) 10 Shot Tower. Specific recommendations for the continued management of the site will be provided in the report.. Following the review of the report, all artifacts will be turned over to the City of Dubuque. Safety Considerations The Dubuque Shot Tower investigation involves several potential hazards that Wapsi Valley Archaeology acknowledges and understands. Every precaution will be taken to ensure the safety of all personnel involved in the project. Some of the concerns involving the potential depth of the excavations have been alluded to above. The fill contained in the shot tower is almost certainly what would be categorized as a Class C soil meaning it is not safe to have any exposed vertical cuts in excess of 3 feet. This rule will be followed throughout the excavations to prevent dangerous dirt collapses. All precautions pertinent to the safe use of any mechanical devices employed in the project will be adhered to. Hard hats will be worn by personnel during the excavation. A fully stocked first aid kit will be available at all times. Further, we are aware of the potential for certain contaminants, particularly lead and arsenic, which were employed in the historic production of lead shot. Any concentration of these two elements should coincide with the base of the interior floor, the 1856 ground surface, and possibly the bottom of the interior well. Soil samples will be tested throughout the project for their level of toxic substances. If artifacts recovered from the excavations are dangerously contaminated, measures will be taken to remove such a potential threat. This proposal assumes that the City of Dubuque will be responsible for the costs involved in this aspect of the investigation. Proposed Project Schedule In the absence of any firm data regarding the exact nature of the archaeological deposits contained in and around the Shot Tower, a definitive prediction of the field time required of the investigation is difficult. We estimate that a crew of six people can excavate and remove 3 meters offill in 20 work days. If the interior -,fill layer goes deeper than this, additional time will be needed to excavate. If an interior well is present further time will be necessary. Conversely, if the fill has been found to have been previously disturbed, less excavation time will be needed and the proposed time and cost will be adjusted accordingly. City of Dubuque officials will be apprised of the progress of the project on a regular basis and no additional work will be conducted without the written and express authorization from the City. Following the fieldwork, an estimated 40 working days will be required to complete the laboratory analysis and report preparation. 9 References Mr. Jeff Bergman Director Des Moines County Conservation 512 N.

P.O. Box 244 Anamosa, IA 52205 Telephone & fax: (319) 462-4760 Michael R. Finn March 2006 Introduction This cost proposal outlines the costs for a proposed scope of services for the City of Dubuque pertaining to the archaeological investigations at the historic Dubuque Shot Tower. Wapsi Valley Archaeology has outlined the assumptions for an excavation strategy pertaining to the deposits to be found inside of the Shot Tower proper. We have outlined the costs associated with the excavation of the interior down to the historic ground floor of the tower. It is assumed that the deposits are no more than 10 feet thick and are mainly composed of rubble and fill deposits The assumptions in this proposal include a 20 day period for excavations with 6 people and a 40 day period for laboratory and report preparations. However the proposal made note of different possible scenerios which may obtain. If in fact the excavations take less time that a prorated rate will be used. This rate will be billed at $2,000.00 per day for any deviations from the proposed 20 day field schedule. The same $2,000.00 per day rate will be applied to any additional days beyond the 20 days of fieldwork. City of Dubuque officials will be apprised of the progress of the project on a regular, at least weekly, basis. No additional fieldwork beyond the proposed 20 days will be undertaken without the express written approval of the City. Cost Proposal for Dubuque Shot Tower Project I.
