Amendment No.3: Update - NOTICE OF INTENT TO PROPOSE

February 14, 2020

The Service received multiple, timely Notices of Intent to Propose from potential offerors. Based on information provided in those Notices, the Service has determined that providing some clarification, and extra time, will encourage competition. The Service has issued Amendment #3, extending the period of Notice of Intent to Propose until 4:00 pm, Friday, February 21, 2020. As for the clarification, please note that the proposed method for rate approval will be Competitive Market Declaration for food and beverage and retail services. Please refer to the Draft Contract Exhibit B: Operating Plan, Section 4(B) for further information about the Rate Determination and Approval Process. The Service notes that one of the primary objectives of the National Park Service Concesions Management Improvement Act of 1998 was to enhance competition and believes that this clarification regarding rates, and ensuring potential offerors have sufficient time to submit Notice of Intent to Propose, will enhance competition.
