- Description
- Solicitation Number NAR080070 applies and will be issued as a Request for Proposals for the following services: Contractor will provide a means to allow all visitors to the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area a reasonable way to purchase a permit, at any time before arrival, or in the dunes, to allow visitors to be compliant with the BLM supplemental fee rule and the Imperial County fee ordinance. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: Background - The Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (ISDRA), managed by the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) El Centro Field Office, is located in eastern Imperial County, California. At 40 miles long and averaging five miles in width, it covers almost 160,000 acres, the largest area for sand dune off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation experience in the U.S. It draws visitors from throughout California as well as other States, and receives the highest visitor use concentration of any BLM recreation area in the country. General - The contractor shall provide the following services: collect non-commercial special recreation permit fees (dunes permit) through the most efficient combination of the following methods: off-site sales, on-site sales and/or fee collection kiosks. The contractor shall also educate visitors of pertinent State, County and applicable Federal law as it relates to fee collection and compliance. Collection Objective - The goal will be to increase off site sales by 10% each year until 80% of all permit sales are completed off site. 2007 will be considered the base year. Objective will be measured by monthly reports of on and off site sales. In 2007, 12,478 or 14% of all Dunes permits were sold out of the fee area. BLM is striving to have the majority of all permits sold off site to reduce the workload and traffic congestion in the recreation area. Compliance Objective - Contractor will educate visitors and gain voluntary compliance with the County fee ordinance in order to maintain fee compliance at a minimum level of 80% at any time. BLM will respond to the contractor's request for assistance when there is a visitor who refuses to comply with permit regulations. The awarded contract will include performance incentives for the collection and compliance objectives above. Additional information will be posted in the solicitation. The standard NAICS classification is 721211. Size standard is $6.5 million. The Government intends to award this contract on an all-or-none basis. The solicitation will be issued on or about April 11, 2008. The solicitation may be downloaded from the IDEASEC website: http://ideasec.nbc.gov/j2ee/login.jsp.
