[NPS-WASO-CONC-36347;PPWOBSADC0, PPMVSCS1Y.Y00000]
Notice of Intent To Extend and Continue Concession Contracts and
Award Temporary Concession Contracts
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Public notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the terms of the concession contracts identified in the
tables below and its regulations, the National Park Service gives
public notice that it intends to: extend each concession contract
listed in table 1 below until the date shown in the ``Extension
Expiration Date'' column or until the effective date of a new
[[Page 85232]]
contract, whichever comes first; continue each concession contract
listed in table 2 below until the date shown in the ``Continuation
Expiration Date'' column or until the effective date of a new contract,
whichever comes first; and award the temporary concession contracts
listed in table 3 below.
DATES: The National Park Service intends that the concession contract
extensions, continuations, and temporary concession contracts will be
effective on the dates shown in the tables below, as applicable.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt Rausch, Program Chief, Commercial
Services Program, National Park Service, 1849 C Street NW, Mail Stop
2410, Washington, DC 20240; Telephone: 202-513-7156.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 36 CFR 51.23, the National Park
Service proposes to extend each contract listed in table 1 until the
date shown in the ``Extension Expiration Date'' column or until the
effective date of a new contract, whichever comes first. The National
Park Service has determined that the proposed extensions are necessary
to avoid an interruption of visitor services and has taken all
reasonable and appropriate steps to consider alternatives to avoid such
an interruption. The extension of the existing contracts does not
confer or affect any rights with respect to the award of new contracts.
The concession contracts listed in table 2 below have been extended
for the maximum time allowable under 36 CFR 51.23. Under the provisions
of the existing contracts and pending the issuance of prospectuses and
the completion of the public solicitation process to award new
concession contracts, the National Park Service intends to continue the
existing contracts until the date shown in the ``Continuation
Expiration Date'' column or until the effective date of a new contract,
whichever comes first. The continuation of the existing contracts does
not confer or affect any rights with respect to the award of new
concession contracts.
The National Park Service proposes awarding temporary concession
contracts, in accordance with 36 CFR 51.24(a), to provide the visitor
services currently provided under the contracts listed in table 3
below. The temporary contracts will have a term not to exceed 3 years
and will be awarded to a qualified person. The National Park Service
anticipates that the temporary contracts will be effective on the date
shown in the ``Effective Date'' column. This notice is not a request
for proposals.
The publication of this notice reflects the intent of the National
Park Service but does not bind the National Park Service to extend,
continue, or award any of the contracts listed below.
