Part 745 30-day FR Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 177 / Thursday, September 11, 2008 / Notices

The term of the temporary
concession contract will commence on
July 1, 2008 and end on June 30, 2011.

DATES:

The
temporary concession contract is
proposed to be awarded to Half Year,
Inc., a qualified person, and will
authorize Half Year Inc., to provide food
and beverage service as well as a retail
outlet for the sales of gifts and souvenirs
at the Lehman Caves Visitor Center
within Great Basin National Park. All of
these services are seasonal and are
provided during only half of the year,
from approximately April 1 through
mid-October.
Previously, these services had been
provided by another concessioner, who
had been authorized by Concession
Contract CC–GRBAOO1–98 to conduct
visitor services during the period
January 1, 1998, through December 31,
2007.
Prior to the expiration of CC–
GRBAOO1–98, the National Park
Service had taken a number of
reasonable and appropriate steps in
order to avoid any interruption of visitor
services. A public solicitation process
inviting the general public to submit
proposals for a new concession contract
began in the spring of 2007, with the
issuance, on April 9th 2007, of a
prospectus for CC–GRBAOO1–07. That
solicitation closed on August 16th 2007,
but subsequently had to be cancelled,
pursuant to 36 CFR 51.11, in late 2007.
The National Park Service then
proceeded with a second solicitation for
a new concession contract, issuing a
new prospectus on January 11th 2008
for CC–GRBAOO1–08. This second
solicitation closed on March 18th 2008;
however, no responsive offers were
received.
Another public solicitation for
proposals cannot be completed prior to
the end of the limited operating season
available for these services during 2008.
At this time, however, a qualified
person is willing to provide these
services on a temporary basis.
Therefore, the National Park Service
has determined that a temporary
contract is necessary in order to avoid
an interruption of visitor services and
has taken all reasonable and appropriate
steps to consider alternatives to avoid
this interruption of visitor services.
This action is issued pursuant to 36
CFR 51.24(a). This is not a request for
proposals.
