- Description
- The National Park Service (NPS) is issuing a concessions prospectus on Thursday, July 7 2022, for a 10-year concession contract for the operation of passenger ferry service between the South Shore of Long Island and Sailors Haven Marina within Fire Island National Seashore.� The new contract is expected to be effective January 1, 2023. The Regional Director has determined, under 36 CFR � 51.36, that no right of preference applies to this prospectus solicitation and that it is fully competitive. 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. Sailors Haven is home to one of the best-known areas of Fire Island National Seashore�the Sunken Forest. Located near the center of the island, across the Great South Bay from Sayville, Sailors Haven is accessible by ferry, private boat, and foot. In addition to a one and a half mile long boardwalk trail through the Sunken Forest, Sailors Haven offers a visitor center; snack bar; gift shop; picnic tables and grills; lifeguarded beach in summer; a 45-slip public marina with electricity, water and a free boat pump-out station; and restrooms and showers.
