DESCRIPTION: The National Park Service (NPS), Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area (LARO), has a requirement for a vendor to process fee collection in accordance with the following tasks: (A) National Park Service delivers sealed bank bags to the contractor once a week. The contractor has 5 days to complete the tasks. (B) Each campground/boat launch bag is opened and two of the contractors employees count the envelopes, the count is marked on each facility slip and initialed by both employees and then the envelopes are returned to the original bag. (C) An employee takes one bag and opens each envelope and verifies the cash and checks. This is done by indicating on each envelope whether it is cash, check, or Canadian funds and making the necessary notations when amount does not match what is stated on the envelope. (D) Once the contents of the bag are counted all cash and checks must be balanced with the corresponding envelopes. This is done by running a total on the cash envelopes and the check envelopes as well as the Canadian funds envelopes. Then total the cash, checks and Canadian funds to make sure they correspond to the envelopes. Any discrepancy must be resolved before the funds are given to the teller for verification and deposit. The employee then marks on the facility slip the total cash, checks, and Canadian funds, and initials the slip. Deposit ticket number must be placed on each slip. (E) Once the teller receives the funds they must verify the cash to the facility slip. The funds are then deposited to a National park Service general ledger account and immediately withdrawn in cashier check form. The teller then initials the facility slip indicating that the cash verified balances to the slip. If Canadian funds are involved the teller must calculate the exchange and note it on the slip. (F) Once all the bags are completed, separate the campground slips and the boat launch slips and run a total of the cash funds received for each. Do the same for all checks received. (G) Next take all the slips and total all cash, checks and Canadian funds received and get a Park wide total. Also make a Park wide total of envelopes received and verify it to the total provided by the Park Service.

(I) Each campground/boat launch facility slip must be photocopied and the corresponding receipts to the copies retained by the contracting facility and the originals made ready to the Park Service. (J) Call the Fee Manger with deposit breakdown (BL totals, CG totals and total deposit). The Fee Manager will prepare a deposit ticket, fax it to bank/credit union, and then the prepared ticket and the copies are put with the appropriate checks or paper work. The checks are then bagged for shipment to the Federal Reserve. (K) Any Canadian checks must be listed separately on the facility slips. Call the Fee Manager and a special foreign funds ticket must be prepared. The Fee Manager will fax the special foreign funds ticket to bank/credit union. The checks are then sent to the appropriate facility. (L) The original facility slips and the copies of the deposit tickets (provided by the Park Service) are delivered to the Park Service within 5 working days after receipt.
