- Description
- Concession Business Opportunity for Lodging, Camping, Food and Beverage, Retail, Equipment Rental and Other Services at Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay withinVirgin Island National Park The National Park Service (NPS) will issue a prospectus for solicitation of offers for a 15-year concession contract to provide Lodging, Camping, Food and Beverage, Retail, Equipment Rental and Other Services at Cinnamon Bay and Trunk Bay within Virgin Island National Park. Park concessioners play a vital role in serving visitors in national parks. Concession contracts offer members of the private sector opportunities to enhance visitors' enjoyment of, and to form lasting connections with, many of our nation's most treasured places. Within Virgin Islands National Park, the Concessioner will manage hospitality operations on one of the most picturesque beaches in the world. The business opportunity provides interested parties a range of hospitality services in this well-known national park and has the potential to touch the lives of over half a million recreational visitors on an annual basis. These operations include overnight experiences on the world famous Cinnamon Bay Beach either at the charming and rustic cottages or in pre-set up eco tents. The Concessioner under the Draft Contract also will provide food and beverage and retail at Trunk Bay where the beach and underwater snorkeling trail are breathtaking attractions to thousands visiting St. John Island. St. John is located about four miles east of Saint Thomas, the location of the U.S. Virgin Islands territorial capital, Charlotte Amalie, and four miles southwest of Tortola, part of the British Virgin Islands. With no airports on St. John, the only access to the island is by boat. Cruz Bay is the main town and commercial area on the island and the point where ferry passengers embark and disembark. Trunk Bay is approximately three miles northeast of Cruz Bay on Route 20, with Cinnamon Bay approximately one mile further east along the road. All offers must be received by the NPS at the address listed on the inside front cover of the prospectus no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 30, 2015, in order to be evaluated and considered for an award of a concession contract. The prospectus describes the business opportunity and includes the terms and conditions under which the NPS will award the concession contract. The prospectus is available on the NPS website at http://concessions.nps.gov/prospectuses.htm, or you can receive a hard copy for $40.00. An additional charge of $40.00 will be added if delivered to an address in the U S Virgin Islands.
