Submitted via email to: Joseph.DeCicco@MyClearwater.com
Subject: Revised proposal for Archaeological Excavation (Ground-Truthing and
Verification) at St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery.
Dear Joe:
Cardno is pleased to provide the following revised scope of work to complete archaeological
testing at the St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery for the above -referenced property (Figure
1).
Background / Purpose:
In February/March 2020, a partial ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey was conducted by
archaeologists with the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) at the Frank Crum Staff
Leasing Campus located at 100 S. Missouri Ave in Clearwater, Florida (Figure 2). The purpose of
the survey was to determine through geophysical survey methods (GPR) the potential for
unmarked graves associated with the St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery that once existed
on the property. Results of that initial investigation indicated a number of intact burials appear to
be present at the site. The FPAN report recommended hiring a cultural resource management
firm in order to continue geophysical investigations focusing on defining the extent of potential
burials and determining the cemetery boundaries in order to develop an appropriate cemetery
management plan for the property.
In October 2020, Cardno was asked to prepare a preliminary scope and cost proposal for
additional GPR and ground-truthing fieldwork efforts at the St. Matthew's Baptist Church
Cemetery site for the City of Clearwater. The goal of the project is to verify GPR findings and the
presence of burials through minimally invasive archaeological excavation (ground-truthing). The
following proposal letter outlines only the ground-truthing and verification stage of work with the
resulting report. The aim of this scope of work, as specifically requested, is to verify at least one
burial identified by previous GPR survey work. In order to sufficiently delineate the cemetery and
create an appropriate management plan an expanded GPR survey and additional fieldwork will
be needed at this property in future. This proposal and project budget are subject to change based
on project modifications, and consultation with the property owner and other stakeholders. After
authorization to proceed from the City of Clearwater, Cardno staff will notify Florida State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO), descendants, and other stakeholders about the project work in
keeping with Florida Statues.

Archaeological Excavation (Ground-Truthing) at St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery
'7,
Cardno
Shaping the Future
Proposed Archaeological Ground-Truthing
The present scope is based on Cardno's previous ground-truthing and delineation work at other
cemeteries. The objective of this stage is to verify GPR findings through physical confirmation of the
presence or absence of extant burials or human remains within grave -shafts and areas of possible
graves. Selected areas will be excavated only to the depth necessary to verify and document burials.
No human remains will be removed or disturbed, in keeping with Florida Statute 872.02. Under Florida
Statute 872.02, human remains may not be disturbed or removed from a previously marked cemetery
except in limited circumstances defined in the statute. Work is designed to verify the physical presence
and extent of intact coffins and human remains within St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery based
on previous GPR survey results. This scope of work does not include a full delineation of the cemetery
due to the need for expanded GPR Survey on the property. Details of the current investigation findings
regarding the presence of burial within the St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery will be included in
the final report. As requested, proposed work is separated across three potential excavation areas, as
outlined below. Additional work in Areas 2 and 3 (Tasks 3 and 4) are dependent on the findings of the
work in Area 1 (Task 2).
Proposed Areas and Tasks for Archaeological Verification
In order to verify previous GPR results, while minimizing ground disturbance, ground-truthing and
verification will be conducted in a phased plan across three areas of the subject property. Potential
target areas for ground-truthing and verification are detailed in Figure 3. First, Area 1 (shown in Figure
3 and the northern portion of FPAN Grid 6) will be targeted because of its relative ease of access (Task
1). Ground-truthing and verification will be conducted in Area 1 to verify a single burial. If no burials are
encountered in Area 1, then ground-truthing and verification will be repeated in Area 2 (Task 2), and
then in Area 3 (Task 3). Once an intact coffin or any human remains are encountered ground-truthing
and verification will be completed. Tasks 4 and 5 (Laboratory/GIS Analysis and Final Report) will remain
unchanged regardless of how many areas are investigated during the verification stage. Tasks 1-5 are
described more fully below.
Task 1— Mobilization
Upon receipt of a work order and notification to proceed Cardno will begin the mobilization process for
the project. This will include submitting a utilities locate ticket, then identifying utilities within the
proposed verification areas. Cardno staff will also use a SIR 4000 GPR unit to re -locate possible burials
identified in the previous survey, and clearly mark their locations on the ground surface. Arrangements
will be made for heavy equipment to be delivered to the site and Cardno staff will discuss excavation
plans and formulate a back dirt management plan with the heavy equipment operator. Mobilization will
also cover all backfilling of excavation units using heavy equipment and reassembly of site post
excavation. Field lab setup and materials, excavation area setup, and consultation with stakeholders is
also included in this mobilization stage.
Task 2 —Ground-Truthinq and Verification Area 1:
The first stage of ground-truthing will involve the opening of shallow stripping areas with hydraulic
excavation equipment. These preliminary areas will be targeted starting in Area 1 (FPAN Grid 6, see
Figure 3) within the St. Matthews Baptist Church Cemetery, based on previous partial GPR Survey of
the property. These excavations are intended to locate and map the physical extent of intact grave
shafts, rectangular discolorations in the soil created during the initial burial of an individual, as well as
any past disturbance from previous exhumation or other ground disturbing activities. All ground-truthing
work will be monitored by a qualified Professional Archaeologists.
Excavation with hand tools will be targeted based on the results of mechanical stripping, and laid out
as test units. These test units are designed to confirm the presence of intact human remains and
potentially moved or disturbed burials within the St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery. The
www.cardno.com

City of Clearwater
Archaeological Excavation (Ground-Truthing) at St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery
Cardno®
Shaping the Future
excavation areas will be selected based on previous GPR results in order to avoid disturbance to other
surrounding graves. Ground-truthing and verification will also include the recordation of all finds,
mortuary or otherwise with precise photographs, maps and infield models. As requested, once human
remains or an intact burial are verified ground-truthing will be completed and no further areas will be
investigated at this time. No human remains will be removed during this process. This task includes the
screening of all excavated sediments and the backfilling of all excavations. All mortuary objects will be
returned to the grave feature they came from before backfilling.
Task 3 — Delineation and Ground-Truthinq Area 2 (if required):
If no human remains or burials are verified in Area 1, ground-truthing and verification as described
above will be repeated in Area 2. Because of Area 2's location in an asphalt -covered parking area
asphalt will need to be removed in order to allow for ground-truthing and verification. After fieldwork
and excavation is completed, areas of asphalt that were removed will be repaired or replaced by a
qualified sub -contractor at actual cost plus 5%.
Task 4— Delineation and Ground-Truthinq Area 3 (if required):
If no human remains or burials are verified in Area 2, ground-truthing and verification as described in
Task 1 will be repeated in Area 3. Because of Area 3's location in an asphalt -covered parking area
asphalt will need to be removed in order to allow for ground-truthing and verification. After fieldwork
and excavation is completed, areas of asphalt that were removed will be repaired or replaced by a
qualified sub -contractor at actual cost plus 5%.
Task 5— Laboratory/GIS Analysis:
No human remains will be removed or disturbed for analysis. Mortuary objects, including any other
contents of graves or grave shafts, hardware or pieces of coffins, or other materials buried with the
deceased, will be analyzed in the field and reburied in place at the end of excavation. Non -mortuary
artifacts such as historical objects related to the surrounding homes or neighborhoods are proposed to
be analyzed and curated under controlled conditions at Cardno's laboratory facilities following the
completion of fieldwork. Copies of forms on acid -free paper, and copies of notes, maps, and
photographs will be curated at Cardno. This task also includes processing of any photogrammetry data
collected during fieldwork in order to model findings such as burial goods or grave shaft features. The
GIS analysis included under this task will consist of generating all site reports, and modeling any coffins,
or other mortuary contexts that are encountered in centimeter accurate spatial models.
Task 6 — Final Report:
In anticipation of future Federal or State requirements, the results of all ground-truthing and verification
work at the St Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery will be presented in a technical report for submittal
to the City of Clearwater, stakeholders, and the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) for
review and comment. The report will be completed in compliance with the Florida Division of Historical
Resources 1A-46 Archaeological and Historical Report Standards and Guidelines and will be designed
so that future work can be integrated into the existing report. As part of report preparation, Cardno will
also conduct additional background research. The final report draft will be submitted to the City of
Clearwater 60 days from the completion of field and lab analysis work. Additional consultation with
stakeholders and descendants should be completed prior to any future work at the St Matthew's Baptist
Church Cemetery site.
Timeline:
With authorization to proceed from the City of Clearwater, and as part of Task 1 Mobilization, Cardno
will immediately notify DHR Florida Statute 872 Coordinator, stakeholders, and descendants. Cardno
will then file the appropriate utilities locate tickets and after receiving clearance on utilities
(approximately two weeks) will commence field work. Task 2 (including the potential Tasks 3 and 4)
are expected to take a team of professional archaeologists no more than 2 weeks. If human remains

City of Clearwater 4 Cardne
Archaeological Excavation (Ground-Truthing) at St. Matthew's Baptist Church Cemetery Shaping the Future
or an intact burial are verified during Task 2 then field work could be completed in a shorter amount of
time. Verification during Task 2 could also result in reduced costs. Following completion of ground-
truthing and verification, laboratory analysis of non -mortuary artifacts and GIS analysis (Task 5) will
commence and be completed within 7-10 days. A final draft report (Task 6) will be submitted to the City
of Clearwater for approval 60 days after the completion of laboratory/GIS analysis, then released to
SHPO, and other stakeholders for review and comment. All stipulations in this proposal are based on
the assumptions listed below, and are subject to change due to any amendments or increases in scope.
Compensation Schedule:
If human remains or intact burials are verified during Task 2, then Tasks 3 and 4 will not be completed
and their costs will not be reflected in the final total. Areas of asphalt removed as a result of Tasks 3 and 4
will be disposed of, then asphalt areas will be repaired or replaced by a qualified sub -contractor at actual cost plus
5%, this cost is not reflected in the compensation schedule below but removal and disposal is not to exceed
$12,000.
