Description: The National Park Service (NPS) is issuing a concessions prospectus on Thursday, August 5, 2021, for a 10-year concession contract for the operation of passenger ferry service between Patchogue Ferry Terminal and Watch Hill marina within Fire Island National Seashore.� The new contract is expected to be effective January 1, 2022. The Regional Director has determined, under 36 CFR � 51.36, that the Existing Concessioner qualifies as a Preferred Offeror for this Draft Contract. A Preferred Offeror may exercise a right of preference as defined in 36 CFR � 51.3. This right of preference allows a Preferred Offeror to match the terms and conditions of a competing responsive proposal for a Qualified Contract. Fire Island National Seashore, located off the south shore of Long Island, New York, occupies approximately 26 miles of the 32-mile long barrier island. The national seashore�s western boundary is adjacent to Robert Moses State Park. From there, the national seashore extends east to Moriches Inlet. The national seashore also includes the waters surrounding the seashore to distances of 1,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean and up to 4,000 feet north into Great South Bay. The national seashore is located within 60 miles of nearly 21 million people in the greater New York metropolitan area (Exhibit 5). Most visitors reach the national seashore by taking a private car or the Long Island Railroad to Patchogue, Sayville, or Bay Shore, where they board a ferry to cross the bay. Visitors can also reach the national seashore by private boat and docking at the concession-operated marinas at Watch Hill or Sailors Haven. Many sites within Fire Island National Seashore are only accessible by private boat or public ferry. From May to October, visitors can take one of two authorized concessioner ferries to travel to Watch Hill or Sailors Haven. Watch Hill is on the western edge of the Otis Pike Fire lsland High Dune Wilderness, directly across the Great South Bay from Patchogue, New York. Watch Hill offers a visitor center, family campground, ranger-led interpretive programs (including guided canoe trips), a small convenience store, snack bar, self-guiding nature trail, picnic area, and a lifeguarded beach during the summer only. The distance between the Patchogue Ferry Terminal and Watch Hill is approximately 4.6 nautical miles. The trip takes approximately 40 minutes.
