Notice of Intent to Extend Concession Contracts and Award Temporary Concession Contracts

AGENCY:

National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION:

Public Notice.

SUMMARY:

The National Park Service gives public notice that it proposes to extend each concession contract listed in the Table 1 below 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 also gives public notice that it proposes to award the temporary concession contracts listed in Table 2 below.

DATES:

The National Park Service intends that the concession contract extensions and temporary concession contracts will be effective on the dates shown in the "Extension Effective Date" and "Effective Date" columns, respectively.

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:


[top] The concession contracts listed in Table 1 page 84366 below will expire by their terms on or before October 31, 2021. Under 36 CFR 51.23 the National Park Service proposes to extend each contract 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 concession contracts.

Under 36 CFR 51.24(a) the National Park Service proposes to award a temporary concession contract, for a term not to exceed three years, to a qualified person to provide the visitor services currently provided under each contract listed in Table 2 below. The National Park Service has determined that the proposed award of a temporary contract is 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 National Park Service intends that the temporary contract will be effective on the dates shown in the "Effective Date" column below. 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 or award any of the contracts listed in the tables below.
