- 10-550 Application Form RPF for Vending Machines at LBJ NHP The Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is seeking vendor(s) to provide two vending machines at the Ranch District, specifically by the Klein Shop building, under a commercial use authorization (CUA) for an agreement period of two years starting in 2018. Organizational Overview Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park (LBJ NHP) exists as part of the National Park System to "preserve and share, with the public, the historic properties, life, and legacy of President Johnson." (Public Law 91-14) LBJ NHP protects the historic structures and Texas Hill Country landscapes linked to the ancestry, life, and legacy of President Johnson. The park provides opportunities for visitors to compellingly experience the places that shaped the personality, character, and political philosophy of President Johnson throughout his life, and served as the setting for a remote White House during his presidency. The Ranch District contains the Texas White House and associated buildings. The Ranch includes fields, pastures, cattle pens, show barn, the reconstructed Lyndon B. Johnson Birthplace house, the Junction School, and the Johnson Family Cemetery. Maintenance of the historic scene is funded in part by maintaining a herd of registered Herefords, which are descendants of President Johnson's original herd. All of which is observed by visitors of the park during a self-guided driving tour of the Ranch. Location Description & Use Statistics The Hangar building, also known as the Ranch Visitor Center, is located at the end of the driving tour on the Ranch. Visitors can get out of their cars, stretch their legs by walking around the Texas White House grounds, have a picnic, come inside the Hangar (Visitor Center) to see interpretive displays of President Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson and experience a tour with a Park Ranger. Most of the visitors and bus tours stop in at the Hangar for the interpretive tour. When exiting the Hangar to begin your tour, just outside is an old maintenance building called the Klein Shop with old cars frequently driven by the President. It's one of our newest attractions and is visited frequently throughout the day. Outside this building is where the two vending machines will be located. One vending snacks and the other vending beverages. You have to walk by it when you exit the Klein Shop and the machines are highly visible from many locations in the Texas White House Grounds area. The typical visitor to Lyndon B. Johnson NHP enjoys activities such as a self-guided tour of the ranch to include the Show Barn, the Texas White House, and its support buildings. Additional events are programmed in the park year-round; however, peak visitation occurs in the spring (March/April) when the wild flowers are in bloom and the park hosts the LBJ 100 Bicycle Tour. The Park averages 100,000 visitors a year. Services Required The Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park seeks vendor(s) to provide two vending machines, both located together on the Texas White House grounds. Electric service are available and will be included as a part of cost recovery in the Commercial Use Authorization permit (CUA). The Ranch is locked via a gate at the entrance of the park nightly at 5:30pm. However, the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park is not responsible for the safety of equipment left on site. Vending machines should blend with the Park landscape. This entails a neutral/earth tone outside to the building, minimal signage and no neon lighting. Park maintenance staff will inspect the assigned vending machine location over the course of the CUA and any damages will be billed to the vendor(s). SEE FULL RFP ATTACHED Required Information in Proposal 1. Completed Commercial Use Authorization Application ($100 fee will be charged if selected) 2.
