- Availability of a prospectus for solicitation of offers to operate commercial services in Everglades National Park, in Dade County, near Miami, FL. The operation will include interpretive tram tours, bicycle rentals, retail, limited vending, and bicycler/hiker pickup service at Shark Valley. Gross revenues over the past three years have averaged approximately $1,192,130 annually. The term of this contract is expected to be 10 years, and will require a minimum franchise fee to be paid to the National Park Service of 3.7% of gross revenue per year. The Director, pursuant to 36 CFR 51 has determined that this is not a qualified contract, within the meaning regarding determination of a preferred offeror, because gross receipts are expected to be more than $500,000 in the first year of the contract. The current concessioner has been determined to have been 'satisfactory' operator. The current concessioner is considered not to be a 'preferred offeror' which basically means that they do not have to right to match the terms of any better offer. Offers must be received by 4:00 p.m. FEBRUARY 18, 2011. The Prospectus will explain the business opportunity, the terms and conditions under which the NPS will award the concession contract, the opportunity, the terms and conditions under which the NPS will award the concession contract, the proposal instructions, and the proposal package (including the selection factors). There will be an administrative charge to recoup printing cost of $30.00 plus a $5.00 mailing fee for each prospectus. Please make checks for $35.00 payable to the National Park Service.

No telephone requests for the prospectus will be honored. Please note that no further information than that provided above is available through any other internet resources or links.
