National Park Service


Notice of Intent to Issue a Concession Permit at Rocky Mountain 
National Park

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Act of October 9, 1965 (P.L. 89-249; 79 Stat. 
969; 16 U.S.C. 20 et seq.), notice is hereby given that the National 
Park Service intends to issue a concession permit at Rocky Mountain 
National Park with a term of three years. The services to be provided 
under this permit are; instruction and guide services in technical rock 
climbing, mountaineering, and ski mountaineering. This short term 
authorization is necessary to allow the continuation of public services 
during the completion of planning documents for Rocky Mountain National 
Park. The current concessioner has performed its obligation to the 
satisfaction of the Secretary of Interior and retains its right of 
preference under this administration action.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Any party interested in making an offer for this new 
permit must do so within 15 days of the date of publication of this 
announcement. A copy of the prospectus for this concession 
authorization may be obtained from the Chief of Concessions Management, 
Intermountain Support Office, National Park Service, 12795 West Alameda 
Parkway, P.O. Box 25287, Denver, Colorado, 80225-0287, or call: (303) 
969-2661.

INFORMATION: Information regarding this notice can be obtained from: 
Chief, Concessions Management, Intermountain Support Office, Attention: 
Judy Jennings, National Park Service, 12795 West Alameda Parkway, P.O. 
Box 25287, Denver, Colorado, 80225-0287, or call: (303) 969-2661.
    The National Park Service is currently in the planning process to 
determine the future direction of concession services in Rocky Mountain 
National Park. This necessary planning process will directly affect 
future concession activities. Included in this planning process is the 
development of a commercial services plan. It is anticipated that the 
park commercial services plan will be completed in 1999. Until planning 
is completed, it is not in the best interest of the park to enter into 
a longer term concession permit. It is the intention of the National 
Park Service to complete the planning process then conduct a public 
solicitation and selection of a concessioner for a longer permit 
period.
