About this file

This document is a Question and Request for Clarifications regarding a Business Opportunity for Concession and Other Services at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is seeking a concessionaire to provide concession services at the Smith Creek Village, Ranches, and South Falls Cafe facilities within the park. The contract term is up to 10 years for basic services, or up to 20 years if the concessionaire commits to capital improvement projects. There is no minimum concession fee, and the current operator is not paying a concession fee due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the OPRD maintains the concession facilities, the capital improvement projects listed in the opportunity are desirable, not mandatory requirements.

The document also provides historical revenue information for the current concession operations, with the Silver Falls Hospitality LLC generating $1,210,700 in total revenue in 2023, and the South Falls Cafe generating $747,649 in revenue. There is no set-aside for a specific business entity, and the OPRD reserves the right to extend the business opportunity closing date beyond the initial August 21st deadline.
