BILLING CODE 4312-52-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR National Park Service [NPS-WASO-CONC-40551; 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
(NPS)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 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 NPS intends that the concession contract extensions, continuations, and temporary concession contracts will be effective on the dates shown in the tables below, as applicable, except for the extension of BISO001-14, which the NPS already awarded. 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 NPS 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, except for the extension of BISO001-14, which the NPS already awarded. The NPS 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 NPS 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 NPS 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 NPS 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 NPS but does not bind the NPS to extend, continue, or award any of the contracts listed below, except for the extension of BISO001-14, which the NPS already awarded.
