Area, AZ/NV

AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intention to award temporary concession contract for 
Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24, public notice is hereby given that 
the National Park Service intends to award a temporary concession 
contract for the conduct of certain visitor services within Lake Mead 
National Recreation Area, Arizona and Nevada for a term not to exceed 3 
years. The visitor services include marina and boat rentals, overnight 
accommodations, food and beverage, retail, fuel, and short term trailer 
villages. This action is necessary to avoid interruption of visitor 
services.

DATES: The term of the temporary concession contract will commence (if 
awarded) no earlier than February 1, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The temporary concession contract is 
intended to be awarded to Forever Resorts, a qualified person (as 
defined in 36 CFR 51.3). The existing concessioner, Seven Resorts, 
Inc., has informed the National Park Service (NPS) that it will be 
concluding its operations at Echo Bay under CC-LAME010-71 within Lake 
Mead National Recreation Area effective January 31, 2010.
    The National Park Service has determined that a temporary 
concession contract is necessary in order to avoid interruption of 
visitor services and has taken all reasonable and appropriate steps to 
consider alternatives to avoid an interruption of visitor services.
    This action is issued pursuant to 36 CFR 51.24(a). This is not a 
request for proposals.

    January 5, 2010.
Jonathan B. Jarvis,
Director, National Park Service.
