A. The Park Attendant Contractor must be a two (2) person team, at least 21 years of age, both of whom are physically and mentally capable of performing the contractual responsibilities specified here and in the enclosed Specific PWS, for the duration of the contract, including option years (when applicable). The contractor herein may also be referred to as Park Attendant(s).

At locations utilizing the National Recreation Reservation Service (NRRS)™ and/or Outdoor Recreation Management Suite (ORMS), potential contractors must possess basic computer skills (ability to operate preinstalled programs on a government-furnished computer, through the use of a keyboard and mouse; also to include printers and credit card peripheral devices). ORMS is an internet-based computer program used for registering campers, tracking fees, and processing NRRS™ reservations.

C. Contractors required to utilize NRRS/ORMS will be trained by USACE staff in the applicable programs and associated equipment; training days are paid contractor days. At the conclusion of training, contractors will be required to demonstrate their ability to proficiently operate required computer programs and credit card equipment, as applicable; failure to do so could result in termination for default.

D. Park Attendant Contractor services to be accomplished under this contract shall be in accordance with the provisions of the General Specifications and Specific PWS. Services include, but are not limited to, furnishing labor, equipment, fuel, transportation, tools and supplies (except as otherwise noted herein as “government-furnished” or as specified in each lake’s Specific PWS) necessary to provide the specified services for the duration of the contract period.

E. None of the services required by this contract shall be subcontracted, without the prior written permission of the Contracting Officer.

F. Contractors are prohibited from unilaterally terminating, abandoning or prematurely ending any government contract still in effect in order to accept another government contract.

*Note: Award will be made to the responsible bidder whose proposal is found to be most advantageous to the Government, cost and other factors considered. Although cost will be evaluated, the Government reserves the right to award to other than the low bid.

II. DEFINITIONS:

A. Contracting Officer: The term “Contracting Officer” means the person having authority to enter into, administer or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings. The Contracting Officer is responsible for ensuring performance of all necessary actions for effective contracting, ensuring compliance with the terms of the contract and safeguarding the interests of the United States. The contracting Officer will be in the Wilmington District Office.

The COR represents and reports to the Contracting Officer. The COR has no authority to authorize or direct any change(s) to the contracts.

C. Prescribed Procedures: This scope of work refers throughout to following “prescribed procedures”. These are simple, specific instructions and routines that may vary from Lake to Lake and Park to Park that will be covered in the Training sessions. They are not tasks that would require a line-item bid, for instance, but simply operating procedures. An example is “contractor shall record visitors in the park in accordance with prescribed procedures”. One park may require license plates and names written down in a book; one may require only names listed on the back of a camper card; sometimes during emergencies, such as we had in 9-11-2001, the attendant may need to record every vehicle in the park.
