Description

17. The National Park Service will be releasing a concession Prospectus authorizing continuation of lodging, campground, food and beverage services, retail merchandise, gasoline service, employee housing and boat tours within Crater Lake National Park. The operation is seasonal in nature. An average of one-half million people visit the park annually and about three-quarters of the visits occurs during the months from June through September. Depending upon snow conditions, May and October usually offer an opportunity to expand shoulder season services and there is limited food service and gift store operations during the winter months. There are three site locations where commercial services are provided: two areas on the edge of Crater Lake and one located 7 miles from Crater Lake near the park entrance. Approximately 240 employees are employed during the peak season. A capital improvement program is required of not less than $1,540,000 during the first 6 years of the concession contract for the construction of a new restaurant/gift store. The average annual gross receipt for the operation over the last 3 years has been approximately $6,000,000 . The term of the new concession contact will be for fifteen (15) years. The current concession contract expires on October 31, 2001. There is an existing concessioner, which has operated satisfactorily, under the existing concession contract and has no statutory right of preference in renewal. This will be a fully competitive solicitation. The cost for purchasing a Prospectus is $35.00 by mail or $30.00 if picked up in person at the below address. Purchasing of the Prospectus will be by check only (NO CASH). The check must be made payable to "National Park Service".
