- Description
- The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking expressions of interest for the use of several facilities along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The sites, including Peaks of Otter Lodge, Bluffs Lodge, Mabry Mill Restaurant and Gift Shop and Price Lake Boat Rentals, range from Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 60.8 to Milepost 339 and may be used individually or combined. A complete list of facilities, with descriptions of each, is available at the link below. These facilities may be available for a three year period starting the spring of 2011. The NPS may issue Temporary Concessions Contracts or assign Sub-concessioners for some or all of the facilities. Temporary Concession Contracts and Sub-concession agreements offer an excellent opportunity for entities to become familiar with NPS concession contracting. If temporary operators are used, they will have the opportunity to bid on a full term contract (10 years). The full document can be found at the link: www.concessions.nps.gov. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina, the Parkway is a 469-mile recreational motor road that connects Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks while protecting the cultural and natural features of the region. Visitors are drawn to this area to experience the stunning scenery and close-up looks at the natural and cultural history of the mountains.
