Temporary Contract for Belle Haven Marina, Inc.

AGENCY: National Park Service (NPS).

ACTION: Public notice.

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

[[Page 1639]]

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24, public notice is hereby given that 
the Director intends to award a temporary concession contract to Belle 
Haven Marina, Inc. to avoid the interruption of visitor services.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The contract between George Washington 
Memorial Parkway (GWMP) and Belle Haven Marina, Inc. expires December 
31, 2002. The NPS has determined that a temporary contract is necessary 
in order to avoid interruption of visitor services and that all 
reasonable alternatives to the award of a temporary contract have been 
considered and found infeasible. The term of the temporary contract 
will be for a period of two years. This temporary contract will provide 
the time for GWMP to obtain technical assistance on the marina market, 
the business opportunity, and scientific data collection on the 
environmental impacts of proposed alternatives. GWMP is planning to 
have the Environmental Assessment (EA) completed by Spring 2003. The EA 
will allow GWMP to make a determination of necessary and appropriate 
services with respect to the marina so a prospectus may be issued 
leading to the competitive selection of a concessioner for a new long-
term concession contract.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Lavelle, Concession 
Specialist, George Washington Memorial Parkway at (703) 289-2536.

Audrey F. Calhoun,
Superintendent, George Washington Memorial Parkway.
