52886 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 177 / Thursday, September 11, 2008 / Notices 

DATES: The term of the temporary 

concession contract will commence on 

July 1, 2008 and end on June 30, 2011. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

temporary concession contract is 

proposed to be awarded to Half Year, 

Inc., a qualified person, and will 

authorize Half Year Inc., to provide food 

and beverage service as well as a retail 

outlet for the sales of gifts and souvenirs 

at the Lehman Caves Visitor Center 

within Great Basin National Park. All of 

these services are seasonal and are 

provided during only half of the year, 

from approximately April 1 through 

mid-October. 

Previously, these services had been 

provided by another concessioner, who 

had been authorized by Concession 

Contract CC–GRBAOO1–98 to conduct 

visitor services during the period 

January 1, 1998, through December 31, 

2007. 

Prior to the expiration of CC–

GRBAOO1–98, the National Park 

Service had taken a number of 

reasonable and appropriate steps in 

order to avoid any interruption of visitor 

services. A public solicitation process 

inviting the general public to submit 

proposals for a new concession contract 

began in the spring of 2007, with the 

issuance, on April 9th 2007, of a 

prospectus for CC–GRBAOO1–07. That 

solicitation closed on August 16th 2007, 

but subsequently had to be cancelled, 

pursuant to 36 CFR 51.11, in late 2007. 

The National Park Service then 

proceeded with a second solicitation for 

a new concession contract, issuing a 

new prospectus on January 11th 2008 

for CC–GRBAOO1–08. This second 

solicitation closed on March 18th 2008; 

however, no responsive offers were 

received. 

Another public solicitation for 

proposals cannot be completed prior to 

the end of the limited operating season 

available for these services during 2008. 

At this time, however, a qualified 

person is willing to provide these 

services on a temporary basis. 

Therefore, the National Park Service 

has determined that a temporary 

contract is necessary in order to avoid 

an interruption of visitor services and 

has taken all reasonable and appropriate 

steps to consider alternatives to avoid 

this interruption of visitor services. 

This action is issued pursuant to 36 

CFR 51.24(a). This is not a request for 

proposals.

Deputy Director, Operations.

Part 887.
