DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Proposal To Award Concession Contract; Ozark National Scenic
Riverways, MO
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Public notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Public notice is hereby given that the National Park Service
proposes to award a concession contract authorizing continued operation
of lodging, restaurant, general merchandise, hot shower, and firewood
facilities and services for the public at Ozark National Scenic
Riverways, Missouri, for a period of approximately five (5) years from
date of execution through December 31, 1997.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 2, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties should contact the Superintendent, Ozark
National Scenic Riverways, P.O. Box 490, Van Buren, Missouri 63965 to
obtain a copy of the prospectus describing the requirements of the
proposed contract.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This contract renewal has been determined to
be categorically excluded from the procedural provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act and no environmental document will be
prepared. The existing concessioner has performed its obligations to
the satisfaction of the Secretary under an existing permit which
expired by limitation of time on December 31, 1990, and therefore
pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965
(79 Stat. 969; 16 U.S.C. 20), is entitled to be given preference in the
negotiation of a new proposed contract providing that the existing
concessioner submits a responsive offer (a timely offer which meets the
terms and conditions of the Prospectus). This means that the contract
will be awarded to the party submitting the best offer, provided that
if the best offer was not submitted by the existing concessioner, then
the existing concessioner will be afforded the opportunity to match the
best offer. If the existing concessioner agrees to much the best offer,
then the contract will be awarded to the existing concessioner.
If the existing concessioner does not submit a responsive offer,
the right of preference in renewal shall be considered to have been
waived, and the contract will then be awarded to the party that has
submitted the best responsive offers.
The Secretary will consider and evaluate all proposals received as
a result of this notice. Any proposal, including that of the existing
concessioner, must be received by the Superintendent not later than the
sixtieth (60th) day following publication of this notice to be
considered and evaluated.
Dated: February 18, l994.
William W. Schenk,
Acting Regional Director, Midwest Region.
