NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, CONCESSIONS CONTRACT The National Park Service proposes to award a concessions contract authorizing retail sales in Yorktown, VA, within Colonial National Historical Park. The existing concessioner has performed its obligations to the satisfaction of the Secretary under an existing contract which expired by limitation of time on December 31, 1990, and therefore pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat 969; 16 U.S.C 20), is entitled to be given preference in the renewal of the contract and in the negotiation submits a responsive offer (a timely offer which meets the terms and conditions of the Prospectus). This means that the contract will be awarded to the party submitting the best offer, provided that if the best offer was not submitted by the existing concessioner, then the existing concessioner will be afforded the opportunity to match the best offer. If the existing concessioner agrees to match the best offer, then the contract will be awarded to the existing concessioner. If the existing concessioner does not submit a responsive offer, then the contract will be awarded to the party that has submitted the best responsive offer. The Secretary will consider and evaluate all proposals received as a result of this notice. Any proposal, including that of the existing concessioner, must be received by the Superintendent, Colonial National Historical Park, not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following publication of this notice to be considered and evaluated.
