Interested parties must submit proposals by August 12, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 22, 2026. The work will be performed across various locations within the state, though specific project sites are not detailed in the posting. Participation requires demonstrated experience in cultural resources management, knowledge of state and federal compliance protocols, and the ability to deliver accurate, timely documentation suitable for regulatory review and project planning.
