- Description
- The National Park Service (NPS) has revised a prospectus for solicitation of offers for a 10-year concession contract to provide craft sales, retail and limited food and beverage services at the Northwest Trading Post (NWTP) within the Blue Ridge Parkway. The NPS has revised the Prospectus to improve the opportunity for potential offerors by reducing the Leasehold Surrender Interest buy-in to $0. The NWTP is located at Milepost (MP) 259 on the Parkway, near the town of Glendale Springs, NC, in Ashe County, and is an hour north of the popular resort towns of Boone and Blowing Rock, NC. Since its inception, the NWTP has focused on the sales and promotion of locally produced, mountain-themed handicrafts. Shop offerings include handicrafts such as baskets, pottery, jewelry, quilts, books, souvenirs, and local handmade foodstuff. The NPS has determined that the Existing Concessioner is a Preferred Offeror for this Draft Contract pursuant the terms of 36 C.F.R. Part 51. All offers, including that of the Existing Concessioner, must be received by the NPS at the address listed on the inside front cover of the prospectus no later than 4:00 p.m. on February 13, 2013 in order to be evaluated and considered for an award of a concession contract. The prospectus describes the business opportunity and includes the terms and conditions under which the NPS will award the concession contract. The prospectus will be available on the NPS website at http://concessions.nps.gov/prospectuses.htm, or you can receive a hard copy for $50.00. To request a hard copy of the prospectus to be delivered via Federal Express, send a check for $50.00 payable to the National Park Service to Mark Morgan at the address listed below. Please include a physical address (no post office box) and telephone number. You may also pick up a printed copy at the Superintendents Office at Park Headquarters for $45.00 (checks only). If you are planning to submit a proposal and have obtained your prospectus from the website, we recommend that you advise Mark Morgan, Concessions Management Specialist, Southeast Region, NPS, AFC, 1924 Building, 100 Alabama Street, S.W., Atlanta, GA 30303 at (404) 507-5638 or e-mail at Mark_Morgan@nps.gov of your interest so your contact information can be placed on a mailing list to receive future responses to questions or amendments to the prospectus. Those receiving a hard copy or who are on the mailing list will be provided with any additional information specific to the prospectus in writing. The same information is posted to the above mentioned website.
