M -- CONCESSION PERMITS SOL ROMO100 DUE 032895 POC Contact Mr. Rick Nichols, Management Assistant, 303/586- 1209 Public notice is hereby given that the National Park Service proposes to award a concession permit authorizing continued Guided Horseback Tours for the public at Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado for a period of four (4) years from date of execution or May 1, 1995 whichever is sooner through December 31, 1998. RESPONSE DATE: March 28, 1995. ADDRESS: Interested parties should contact the Superintendent, Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, CO 80517; (303) 586-1209, to obtain a copy of the Prospectus describing the requirements of the proposed permit. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These permit renewals have been determined to be categorically excluded from the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act and no environmental document will be prepared. This prospectus package is for the renewal of fourteen (14) concession permits. Twelve of the fourteen existing Concessioners have performed their obligations to the satisfaction of the Secretary under existing permits which expired by limitation of time on May 31, 1993, and therefore pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Act of October 9, 1965 (79 Stat. 969; l6 U.S.C. 20), will be entitled to be given preference in the renewal of the permit and in the award of a new permit, providing that the existing Concessioner submits a responsive offer (a timely offer which meets the terms and conditions of the Prospectus). This means that these permits 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 Concessioners will be afforded the opportunity to match the best offer. If the existing Concessioner agrees to match the best offer, then the permit 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 permit will then be awarded to the party that has submitted the best responsive offer. Two of the fourteen existing Concessioner have not earned the right of preference to renew and therefore, their permits will be awarded to the party submitting the best offer. The Secretary will consider and evaluate all proposals received as a result of this notice. Any proposal must be received by the Superintendent not later than the sixtieth (60th) day following publication of this notice to be considered and evaluated. (0024)
