April 10, 2026 ATTN: David Hardenbrook, PE Engineering Project Manager at CPL 255 Woodcliff Drive, Suite 200 Fairport, NY 14450 Phase IB Field Investigation for the proposed Town of Boston Water System Improvements Phase 2, Town of Boston, Erie County, New York (NYSOPRHP No. 23PR05087). The Phase IB field investigation will be conducted within relatively undisturbed and archaeologically sensitive areas as presented in the Phase IA report with concurrence of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYSOPRHP). The number of shovel tests will be dependent on the linear feet of water main to be installed in archaeologically sensitive areas that have not been previously disturbed. • Field investigation (excavate STPs at 50-foot intervals within relatively undisturbed portions of the archaeologically sensitive sections of the project area as presented in the Phase IA report; excavate STPs at 25-foot intervals if clusters of diagnostic historic-period artifacts are encountered; excavate STPs at 1-meter and 3-meter intervals around up to three potential precontact artifacts; and photograph general field conditions, field methodology, and areas of prior ground disturbances in archaeologically sensitive areas). • Plot locations of STPs and photographs on site plans. • Process and analyze any excavated artifacts. • Complete NYSOPRHP site forms for all identified archaeological sites. • Incorporate data into digitized Phase IB report and submit report to the NYSOPRHP for review and comment. • Distribute digital copies of report to the Town of Boston and CPL. COST $2,395 (base cost for production of Phase IB report) +$25 per STP (number of STPs dependent on results of Phase IA) All archaeological work will be conducted in compliance with the Standards for Cultural Resource Investigations adopted by the NYSOPRHP (NYAC 1994). To authorize the Phase IB Field Investigation, please return a signed copy of the proposal. If additional work is required, a scope of service increase will be submitted.
