Introduction

GENERAL

For the upcoming recreation season, the Louisville District will contract with a camping couple or a group of interested individuals to serve as resident campground Park Attendants for campgrounds at two lake projects in the Green River Area located in central Kentucky. Each campground contract is for one base year, the 2023 recreation season, and two options for contract renewal for the 2024 and 2025 recreation seasons. Renewal of the contract option year(s) is at the choice of the Government to do so.

General information, descriptions, maps, and lake specific requirements follow in the section on Project Specific Information.

At the discretion of the RA, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of a fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation with the National Background Investigations Bureau. The RA provides contract personnel with additional information and forms to initiate the CAC issuance process, and/or to initiate background investigations, when required. Contract personnel shall complete these processes within established timelines to avoid delays.

e. Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something):

All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity.
