DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice
agency: National Park Service, Interior.
action: Public notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
summary: Public notice is hereby given that the National Park Service
proposes to award a concession permit authorizing continued operation
of boat transportation services to and from Isle Royale National Park
for the public at Isle Royale National Park, Michigan, for a period of
approximately five (5) years from date of execution through December
31, 2000.
effective date: November 20, 1995.
addresses: Interested parties should contact the Superintendent, Isle
Royale National Park, 800 East Lakeshore Drive, Houghton, Michigan
49931, to obtain a copy of the prospectus describing the requirements
of the proposed permit.
supplementary information: This permit 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, 1994, and therefore
pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965
(79 Stat. 969; 16 USC Sec. 20), is entitled to be given preference in
the negotiation of a new proposed permit providing the existing
concessioner submits a responsive offer (a timely offer which meets the
terms and conditions of the Prospectus). This means that the permit
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, then the permit 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 permit will then be awarded to the party that has
submitted the best responsive offer.
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 (60) day following publication of this notice to be considered
and evaluated.
Dated: September 11, 1995.
William W. Schenk,
Field Director, Midwest Region.
