Public Notice

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given that the National Park Service 
proposes to award a concession contract authorizing continued operation 
of gift shop and food vending facilities and services for the public at 
Sagamore Hill National Historic Site for a period of ten (10) years 
from January 1, 1995, through December 31, 2004.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should contact the Regional Director, 
North Atlantic Region, Attention: Division of Concession Management, 15 
State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109-3572, Telephone (617) 223-
5209, to obtain a copy of the prospectus describing the requirements of 
the proposed contract.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This contract renewal has been determined to 
be categorically excluded from the procedural provisions of the 
National Environmental Policy Act and no environmental document will be 
prepared.
    The existing concessioner has performed its obligations to the 
satisfaction of the Secretary under an existing contract which expired 
by limitation of time on December 31, 1989, and therefore pursuant to 
the provisions of Section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 
969; 16 U.S.C. [[Page 3435]] 20), is entitled to be given preference in 
the renewal of the contract and in the negotiation of a new contract, 
providing that the existing concessioner submits a responsive offer (a 
timely offer which meets the terms and conditions of the Prospectus). 
This means that the contract will be awarded to the party submitting 
the best offer, provided that if the best offer was not submitted by 
the existing concessioner, then the existing concessioner will be 
afforded the opportunity to match the best offer. If the existing 
concessioner agrees to match the best offer, then the contract will be 
awarded to the existing concessioner.
    If the existing concessioner does not submit a responsive offer, 
the right of preference in renewal shall be considered to have been 
waived, and the contract will then be awarded to the party that has 
submitted the best responsive offer.
    The Secretary will consider and evaluate all proposals received as 
a result of this notice. Any proposal, including that of the existing 
concessioner, must be received by the Regional Director not later than 
the sixtieth (60th) day following publication of this notice to be 
considered and evaluated.

    Dated: December 16, 1994.
Chrysandra Walter,
Acting Regional Director, North Atlantic Region.
