Item #4 – Project Progression
Steve Pamperin gave a timeline for the Archaeological Phase I Survey, noting that the process have begun in February. In mid-February, he had contacted Dr. Finney to explain the need for the completion of certain FAA Forms. Dr. Finney indicated that he had filled out hundreds of
such forms, and it would be no problem to fill those out upon completion of the report for an additional fee. Pamperin agreed to an additional fee. Dr. Fred Finney indicated by April 12, 2022, that the field work was finished. Dr. Finney also indicated that it looked good, and he would be in touch.
Pamperin expressed some concern that he had received no replies since that time. He noted that it would take two (2) months upon receipt of the report and completion of the FAA Forms to be ready to dig. If he were to receive the report tomorrow, it would be almost August before they could dig, and they had hoped to be digging as early as July.
Mark Harris said that once they had the report, they might be able to proceed without the forms initially.
Steve Pamperin said that the big thing was to get the report. As soon as he received the report, he would let Curt Buescher know that he could go forward with preparation of the bid specification documents.
