DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Concession Contract Negotiations: Cape Cod National Seashore, MA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given that the National Park Service 
proposes to award a concession contract authorizing continued operation 
of the Nauset Knoll Motor Lodge facilities and services for the public 
at Cape Cod National Seashore for a period of five (5) years from 
January 1, 1995, through December 31, 1999.

EFFECTIVE: May 22, 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, 1993, and therefore pursuant to 
the provisions of section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 
969; 16 U.S.C. 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: February 9, 1995.
Marie Rust,
Regional Director, North Atlantic Region.
