National Park Service
Cultural Resources Specialist - Denver Service Center
Featured Deliverables
Overview
My role was to effectively communicate with the team necessary information for responsive design so that we could achieve the agency mission balancing cultural resources management objectives and facility maintenance and capital improvement needs. Included within this role was providing technical input on potential effects to cultural resources and procedural assistance related to the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 regulatory compliance process to our parks, project management teams, and contracted architectural and engineering firms.
As a Federal Government organization, the Denver Service Center (DSC) is responsible for assuring the quality of all design documents for the Line-Item Construction (LIC) program. To meet this requirement, the DSC developed the Quality Assurance (QA) process within the Technical Branch of the Design and Construction Division to ensure the production of high-quality design documents. DSC QA ensures delivered products meet the established programmatic, performance, and technical goals of the project. DSC QA reviews each project for overall adherence to scope and budget, DSC Design Standards, design deliverables requirements, programmatic requirements, NPS design ethic, appropriate design for the location, NPS policies and guidelines, health, safety, and functional requirements and adequacy of construction documents (biddable and buildable) to construct the intended facility or rehabilitate existing facilities.
