DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service


Award of Category II Temporary Concession Contract for Belle 
Haven Marina, Alexandria, VA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Public notice of the Director's intent to award a 1-year 
Category II temporary concession contract at Belle Haven Marina in 
Alexandria, Virginia.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24, public notice is hereby given that 
the Director of the National Park Service intends to award a 1-year 
Category II temporary concession contract to Belle Haven Marina, Inc. 
in Alexandria, Virginia to avoid the interruption of visitor services. 
The current temporary contract between George Washington Memorial 
Parkway (GWMP) and Belle Haven Marina, Inc. expires December 31, 2004. 
The National Park Service 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 one 
year. This temporary contract will provide the time for GWMP to obtain 
technical assistance to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA), and 
GWMP is planning to have the EA completed by the end of 2004. 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 the marina.

DATES: The term of the temporary concession contract will be from 
January 1, 2005-December 31, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anne Dayton (703) 289-2536.
