Description

The Bureau of Reclamation intends to issue a Prospectus to solicit proposals from interested Small Business concerns on the next term of concession contracts for the development, operation and maintenance of visitor services and facilities at Lake Berryessa, Solano Project, Napa County, California (Lake Berryessa). The Prospectus, draft contract and all supporting documentation is available at the Lake Berryessa Prospectus website http://www.usbr.gov/mp/berryessa/prospectus.html. The Prospectus outlines business opportunities for seven concession areas at Lake Berryessa to be provided by private individuals or companies in accordance with Reclamation's Record of Decision (ROD) for the Future Recreation Use and Operations of Lake Berryessa dated June 2, 2006. The existing concession contracts between Reclamation and the existing concession contractors expire on the dates listed below: Pleasure Cove Marina December 1, 2007 Rancho Monticello Resort June 15, 2008 Spanish Flat Resort July 13, 2008 Lake Berryessa Marina August 13, 2008 Putah Creek Resort August 13, 2008 Markley Cove Resort May 26, 2009 Steele Park Resort May 26, 2009 The concession history at Lake Berryessa since 1959 and the issues that culminated from the previous 6 years of planning, completion of an Environmental Impact Statement, and the recent ROD as well as the upcoming expiration of the existing seven concession contracts at Lake Berryessa (December 1, 2007, through May 26, 2009) make this prospectus a unique document different in many ways from standard or traditional prospectuses that offerors may have previously seen. Because of the significant changes mandated by the ROD, the concession opportunities at Lake Berryessa will result in new operations and a different commercial focus to the extent that visitor use patterns and the character of operations will be very different than they have been since the current contracts were authorized in 1958-1962. At Lake Berryessa, all the facilities and services provided through the seven expiring contracts have been re-described, through the identified planning process, in a manner that will result in business models and operations extremely different from the historical Lake Berryessa concession operations. Furthermore, the plan and the associated ROD purposefully described the new operations in a somewhat global approach that provides a very flexible and many-faceted set of business opportunities for bidders wishing to compete for a concession contract(s). The Prospectus therefore places a high premium on creativity by the bidders because there are many options available for them to work within. Reclamation will select successful bidders based in part upon the proposal(s) that appears to have the most reasonable approach for: (1) serving the publics' demand for quality water-based recreation support services and facilities, (2) protecting the environment, (3) responding positively to the 'Principal Factors' and 'Criterions' outlined in the prospectus, and (4) introducing an integrated business approach as identified in the ROD and in the prospectus, all while demonstrating a well-developed financial projection for a reasonable profit. Any offer, including that of the existing concession contractors, must be received by the Bureau of Reclamation, Central California Area Office, 7794 Folsom Dam Road, Folsom, California 95630, on or about September 1, 2007 in order to be evaluated and considered for an award of a concession contract under the terms described in the Prospectus. Proposals are due no later than 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time on September 7, 2007. Interested parties should include the following information in their response: Business name, address, cage code, size classification based on NAICS size standard. Effective October 1, 2003, any contractor to be awarded a government contract must be registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Contractors MUST register at http:www.ccr.gov. Failure to register will make an offeror ineligible for award. Offers from all responsible sources will be considered. Effective January 1, 2005, any contractor submitting a quotation, offer or proposal to the Government must complete their Representations and Certifications online. All the representations and certifications which used to be submitted within Section K are now located online. Online Representations and Certifications (ORCA) can be completed at http://orca.bpn.gov. Requests for site visit, and all contractual technical questions must be submitted in writing to Pete Lucero, plucero@mp.usbr.gov; (707) 966-2111, x. 106 or fax (707) 966-0409.
