incorporate the draft report into TDOT’s Section 106 Assessment form template and submit the Section 
106 Assessment to TDOT for review and comment. TDOT will submit the report to the TN-SHPO for review.

preparation of the Section 106 Historic Architecture Resources Survey previously mentioned, this

Section 106 – Archaeology 
Given the proposed project may warrant the acquisition of right-of-way and/or easements and may warrant 
ground disturbance of previously undisturbed areas, the Consultant’s subconsultant, Richard Grubb & 
Associates (RGA), will be responsible for preparing a Phase I Archaeological Survey to identify historic and 
prehistoric archaeological sites within the project’s anticipated APE. RGA will present the results of the 
Phase I Archaeological Survey in a report that meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and 
Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation  (1983) and complies with the Tennessee SHPO 
Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Resource Management Studies  (October 2018) and the 
TDOT Phase I Archaeological Survey Scope of Work  (2021), if applicable. RGA will perform this work 
pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended.  
Once RGA completes the Phase 1 Archaeological Survey, the Consultant will incorporate the draft report 
into TDOT’s Section 106 Assessment form template and submit the Section 106 Assessment to TDOT for 
review and comment. TDOT will submit the report to the TN-SHPO for review. 
Assumptions: 
▪ No Phase II Testing – If required, this work can be completed in accordance with the Additional 
Services clause of this agreement. 
▪ If a Memorandum of Agreement is needed to confirm agreed upon mitigation measures for the 
Build Alternative, it will be conducted in accordance with the Additional Services clause of this 
agreement. 
▪ If Phase III work, data recovery is necessary, it can be included in accordance with the Additional 
Services clause of this agreement.
