The (Recreation.gov) or equivalent software provided by a government service contractor, will provide advance reservation services for campsites and other reservable facilities in the (Recreation.gov) inventory or equivalent program. These services include, but are not limited to the following:

receiving reservation requests; bookings; collecting and processing fees; cancellations; changes; refund and credit requests; and transmitting reservations information daily to each individual campground or other identified field location. The Contractor shall use the procedures designated by the POC for processing use fees and use the accounting procedures as required by the POC. The POC may modify the procedures at any time during the term of the contract.

1. Park Attendants will perform specific duties daily to implement the reservation program in accordance with established and provided procedures. Duties include, but are not limited to, the following:

maintaining current on-site records; posting reservable facilities; checking site availability for customers; check-in registration processing; etc. Attendants utilizing (Recreation.gov) or equivalent software will be oriented and trained on all aspects of the campground management program by the government. Specific duties and procedures will be detailed and further defined in the (Recreation.gov) or equivalent software user's guide and through pre-work training provided by the government.

2. Park Attendants will provide advance reservation services for walk-up or current on-site customers, as directed by the POC. Park Attendants will be given, at the beginning of the contract period, a thorough orientation and training on all aspects of the procedures for reserving campsites and administering the advance reservation system. Specific duties and procedures will be explained in the (Recreation.gov) or equivalent software user’s guide and throughout the pre-work training provided by the government.

b. Fee Collection Procedures. The Contractor shall collect all designated fees for campsites, visitors, Annual Day Use Passes, America the Beautiful Passes, point of sale items, and reservations. The Contractor shall be responsible for the collection of fees, permits, and submissions of funds to the (Recreation 1 Stop (R1S)) lock box through the (Recreation.gov) program or equivalent software and program. Funds must be turned in once per week, regardless of the amount on hand. When the collection exceeds $5,000.00 at any point, it must be submitted to the (R1S) lockbox or equivalent program. If forms change or procedures change for turn-in of funds, to conform to changing regulations, the Park Attendant shall comply with changes as directed by the POC. The Contractor shall be audited weekly or as deemed necessary by the POC. The Contractor shall guarantee the payment, to the government, of all funds received.

c. Fee Collection Procedure When Computer Not Available. Contractor/Attendant shall notify the POC or Project Office of any computer or program failures as soon as possible. In addition, the Contractor or Attendant shall accurately record all phases occurring and leading up to the failure. If a power failure or prolonged malfunction of computer equipment makes computer-generated forms impossible, the Contractor shall make notes of all campers who check in/out and update the system when functionality returns. If deposits must be made during a period when the computer is unavailable the POC will provide instructions on preparation of a non-computer-generated remittance form, but otherwise, transmit funds and documents as previously described.

d. Checks. When personal checks are used for payment of user fees, Attendants shall ensure the check is: (1) a first party instrument; (2) made payable to the party designated by the POC for each type of transaction; (3) in the exact amount of the fee; (4) annotated to show user's home address, driver's license number, state of issue, and vehicle license number and state of issue; (5) Campground I.D. No. and reservation No. is written on the check; (6) and endorsed immediately.

e. Refunds. Attendants will not make refunds. Refund requests are normally faxed to the Project Office the next business day, or processed through the (Recreation.gov) or equivalent program, as determined by the POC.

f. Trend Data. The Contractor/Attendants shall compile and document certain data as requested by the POC.

The attendant may be required to pass out and collect customer survey cards as well. All requested information by the POC is to be kept current and accurate.

g. Greeting the Public. Tact, diplomacy and courtesy will be exercised at all times in dealing with the Public (our customers), including visitors and sightseers. During the hours the Campground Fee Station is open, the Attendants shall greet everyone as they approach the campground fee station and give them a copy of the campground regulations. A copy of the lake map and other brochures may be given upon request. Customers who wish to evaluate the facilities shall be allowed to drive through the campground once, when it is less than 75% full (a courtesy pass with the appropriate time marked on it will be issued). At other times they can park at the fee station and walk through, unless they are disabled. Persons with disabilities shall be accommodated at all times and will be allowed to drive through. Obvious potential violations shall be tactfully discussed to minimize corrective action. Attendants shall record the campsite occupied by each camping party and maintain a permanent record of the status of campsites. Customers selecting a site shall be allowed to enter the campground prior to registering.

h. Improper Disposal of Garbage. Attendants may be asked to give instructions for proper disposal of garbage to everyone renting a site. Campers will be required to deposit their refuse in a dumpster. If a camper leaves garbage at a site, the Attendant will turn in any available information (names, address, license #, etc.) to the POC.

i. Access Control. Particular emphasis will be placed on the number of people and vehicles at each site and the visitors and their length of stay. The campground main entrance gate will be opened on the first day of fee collection and will remain open until the last day of fee collection unless otherwise directed by the POC. Attendants shall require all visitors to leave by 9:30 P.M. and drive or walk through the campground to ensure compliance at that time. All campgrounds have a zero-day reservation policy and campers will only be allowed to set up on sites if they have a valid reservation. Campers wishing to stay on a non-occupied site will have to call the reservation service, make a reservation online, or wait for the Park Attendant to come back on duty for further assistance.

Attendants shall be responsible for assuring these arrivals are properly registered and fees collected at the next opportunity when the fee station is open.

j. Campground Monitoring. The Attendants shall inspect the campground and suggest correction of minor violations of rules, regulations, and procedures by diplomatically informing visitors of the infraction. Tour the campground in the late evening to determine if any trouble areas are developing. Attendants shall be easily identifiable by either wearing their approved uniform apparel or with a mode of transportation that has been approved by the local POC and properly displays the supplied decal of “PARK ATTENDANT". Rangers will contact individuals who refuse to comply with the regulations. Report all occupied sites which appear to be unattended or abandoned and all campers who refuse to pay the camping fee to the Ranger. The attendants shall monitor the campground between 9:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. on days the fee station is staffed to ensure that quiet hours are maintained and that all visitors have left the campground.

k. Reporting Disturbances. The Attendants shall report all disturbances that cannot be diplomatically controlled to a Ranger, and shall furnish the Ranger with detailed information. The Ranger will decide if the disturbance merits calling local law enforcement officers. If a Ranger cannot be contacted and the disturbance requires a law enforcement officer, the Attendant shall place the appropriate call. All communications with law enforcement personnel, accidents, incidents and violations shall be documented and reported to a Ranger as soon as possible. All complaints will be immediately referred to the POC, or Ranger, and a written record will be kept indicating the nature of the complaint, date and time. Emergency situations involving a fatality or involving a large number of campers (localized flooding, severe storm damage, etc) shall be communicated to the Ranger on duty and/or the POC immediately.

l. Written Reports. The Attendants shall keep written reports of criticisms of park facilities and report situations that could affect visitor health and safety or any maintenance items needing attention to the ranger on duty, or POC if no ranger is on duty at the time. Record the times of contract law enforcement patrols through the campground and keep other records as required by the POC (i.e. the number of sites occupied each day, or the number of visitors turned away when the campground is full, etc.).

m. Communication. During campground fee station operating hours, monitor the two-way radio and operate in compliance with established procedures. Answer the telephone in a courteous manner and use for official business only. Deliver bona fide emergency messages to campers.

n. Flags. The United States of America flag will be raised and lowered each day, at the opening and closing of the fee station, and secured in the Campground Fee Station each evening. Deviations from this schedule will be communicated to attendants by the POC. If the flag is illuminated, the flag can remain raised through the night.

Only the US Flag and the Corps flag will be allowed to be flown.

TP-2.3 SPECIAL CONDITIONS. Government furnished computers will only be used for official government work. Personal computers or devices at any time will not be allowed to be connected to any government telephone line, except by written authorization of the POC. See also T.P.1.8.j.

TP-2.4 CHANGES TO HOURS OF OPERATION. Anticipated changes from normal working hours will be on the Memorial Day weekend, Labor Day weekend, and July 4th week/weekend. The POC may modify working hours during these holidays to better accommodate the public.

a. The first (2) two days of work, prior to fee collection, will be workdays and used primarily for orientation and training.

b. If serious problems occur with the computer system and the presence of the Park Attendant is necessary, the POC may require the Park Attendant to maintain additional hours in the fee station until the problems have been resolved. This call for additional hours is expected to be used only with major problems and will not result in an additional cost to the government.

c. The POC reserves the right to modify the hours scheduled to be worked, provided that there will be no net increase in the number of hours scheduled to be worked.

d. The POC reserves the right to modify arrival and departure dates up to two weeks (14 days) for reasons of inadequate funding, weather conditions or campground utilization without modifying the Contract.
