- Description
- The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a Prospectus to solicit proposals from interested parties 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 outlines business opportunities for six 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. Interim concession contracts between Reclamation and the existing concession contractors expire on the dates listed below: Steele Park Resort January 31,2010Markley Cove Resort January 31,2011 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 expiration of the original six concession contracts at Lake Berryessa 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 at the six concession areas 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 existing concession contractors, must be received by the Bureau of Reclamation, Central California Area Office, 7794 Folsom Dam Road, Folsom, California 95630 by the proposal due date in order to be evaluated and considered for an award of a concession contract under the terms described in the Prospectus. The Prospectus will be issued May 15, 2009 for a 91-day response period, with proposals due no later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on August 14, 2009. The Prospectus, draft contract and all supporting documentation is available at the Lake Berryessa Prospectus website: www.usbr.gov/mp/berryessa/prospectus.html Drew LessardChief, Project Integration Divisionlbprospectus@mp.usbr.gov Telephone inquiries may be directed to (916) 989-7180.
