Description
The Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) is seeking a vendor or vendors to conduct archival research and noninvasive geophysical surveys of the designated Grand Junction Veterans Memorial Cemetery property. The goal is to determine if a plot of land adjacent to the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Grand Junction, Colorado was used as a cemetery for Native American students who attended the Teller Institute Boarding School between 1886 and 1911. The work involves consulting with Tribal Nation leaders, elders, and members, as well as conducting archival research and noninvasive geophysical surveys.
• The project has two main components: archival research and noninvasive geophysical surveys.
• The estimated maximum budget for archival research is $25,000.
• The estimated maximum budget for noninvasive geophysical surveys is $100,000.
• Vendors may bid on both or individual parts of the project.
• The project is expected to start on September 1, 2026, and end on June 30, 2027.
