[NPS-WASO-CONC-36347; PPWOBSADC0, PPMVSCS1Y.Y00000]
Notice of Intent To Extend and Continue Concession Contracts and
Award Temporary Concession Contracts
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Public notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Park Service gives public notice that, pursuant
to the terms of the concession contracts identified in the tables
below, as applicable, and in accordance with NPS regulations, it
intends to: extend each concession contract listed in Table 1 below
until the date shown in the ``Extension Expiration Date'' column or
until the effective date of a new contract, whichever comes first;
continue each concession contract listed in Table 2 below until the
date shown in the ``Continuation Expiration Date'' column or until the
effective date of a new contract, whichever comes first; and award the
temporary concession contract listed in Table 3 below.
DATES: The National Park Service intends that the concession contract
extensions, continuations, and temporary concession contracts will be
effective on the dates shown in the tables below, as applicable.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt Rausch, Program Chief, Commercial
Services Program, National Park Service, 1849 C Street NW, Mail Stop
2410, Washington, DC 20240; Telephone: 202-513-7156.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 36 CFR 51.23 the National Park Service
proposes to extend each contract listed in Table 1 until the date shown
in the ``Extension Expiration Date'' column or until the effective date
of a new contract, whichever comes first. The National Park Service has
determined that the proposed extensions are necessary to avoid an
interruption of visitor services and has taken all reasonable and
appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid such an
interruption. The extension of the existing contracts does not confer
or affect any rights with respect to the award of new contracts.
The concession contracts listed in Table 2 below have been extended
for the maximum time allowable under 36 CFR 51.23. Under the provisions
of the existing contracts and pending the issuance of prospectuses and
the completion of the public solicitation process to award new
concession contracts, the National Park Service intends to continue the
existing contracts until the date shown in the ``Continuation
Expiration Date'' column or until the effective date of a new contract,
whichever comes first. The continuation of the existing contracts does
not confer or affect any rights with respect to the award of new
concession contracts.
The National Park Service proposes awarding a temporary concession
contract, in accordance with 36 CFR 51.24(a), to provide the visitor
services currently provided under the contract listed in Table 3 below.
The temporary contract will have a term not to exceed three years and
will be awarded to a qualified person. The National Park Service
anticipates that the temporary contract will be effective on the date
shown in the ``Effective Date'' column. This notice is not a request
for proposals.
The publication of this notice reflects the intent of the National
Park Service but does not bind the National Park Service to extend,
continue, or award any of the contracts listed below.
