RFP #11-2010: Archaelogical Monitoring of the Main Street Streetscape Improvement Project (Phase B)

This proposal has been prepared in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP#11-20l0) solicited by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) Division of Central Purchasing, to conduct archaeological monitoring in areas affected by the proposed Main Street Streetscape Improvement Project. This project is in two parts. Part A will affect a segment of Main Str~et in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, that is slightly more than three City blocks in length (from the intersection of Main and Broadway to the intersection of Main and Limestone), while Part B is another four blocks in length (from the intersection ofMain and Limestone to the intersection Main and Elm Tree Lane). Though a start date has not been set for Part B, we expect that monitoring of both Parts A and B will be done simultaneously. The streetscape improvement involves removal and replacement of sidewalks, utility lines, storm sewer segments, curbs and gutters, and planters. Some of these improvements will extend into previously un,disturbed deposits that are below the current grade of the utilities and biological facilities, and archaeological monitoring will be required when this occurs.
