National Park Service

Notice of Intent To Issue a Prospectus

for Operation of Accommodations,

Facilities, and Services Within Glen

Canyon National Recreation Area

SUMMARY: The National Park Service

will be releasing a concession

Prospectus authorizing continued

operation of accommodations, facilities,

and services for the visiting public at

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

The operations consist primarily of

lodging accommodations, campground,

marina services, boat rentals, food and

beverage services, and retail and gift/

souvenir sales. The operation is yearround with the peak season during the

summer months. The new contract will

be for fifteen (15) years beginning

January 1, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Offers will be accepted

for NINETY (90) days under the terms

described in the Prospectus. The

NINETY (90) day application period

will begin with the release of the

Prospectus, which will occur within

thirty (30) days of the publication of this

notice. The actual release date of the

Prospectus shall be the date of

publication in the ‘‘Commerce Business

Daily.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

contract renewal has been determined to

be categorically excluded from the

procedural provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act and no

environmental document will be

prepared.

The existing concessioner has

performed its obligation to the

satisfaction of the Secretary under an

existing contract, which expires by

limitation of time on December 31,

1998. Therefore, pursuant to the

provisions of Section 5 of the Act of

October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 969; 16 U.S.C.

20), the concessioner is entitled to be

given preference in the renewal of the

contract and in the award of a new

contract, providing that the existing

concessioner submits a responsive offer

(a timely offer which meets the terms

and conditions of the Prospectus). This

means that the contract will be awarded

to the party submitting the best offer,

provided that if the best offer was not

submitted by the existing concessioner,

then the existing concessioner will be

afforded the opportunity to match the

best offer. If the existing concessioner

agrees to match the best offer, then the

contract will be awarded to the existing

concessioner.

If the existing concessioner does not

submit a responsive offer, the right of

preference in renewal shall be

considered to have been waived, and

the contract will then be awarded to the

party that has submitted the best

responsive offer.

The Secretary will consider and

evaluate all offers received as a result of

this notice. Any offer, including that of

the existing concessioner, must be

received by the Regional Director,

Intermountain Region, P.O. Box 25287,

Denver, Colorado 80225–0287 (street

address: 12795 West Alameda Parkway,

Lakewood, Colorado 80228); no later

than NINETY (90) days following

release of the Prospectus to be

considered and evaluated.
