An award is anticipated with the purpose of establishing a weekend passenger shuttle bus program for visitors to the Point Reyes National Seashore headlands area located in Marin County, CA. Buses will be required to transport approx 800-1,200 visitors on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays from approx 9:00 am to 6:30 pm during the peak visitation season of late December through March 99. A staging area as well as 1-3 shuttle stops encompass a shuttle bus loop of approx 20 miles with an estimated 40 minute round trip travel time. Three buses (with operators) and one relief bus (with operator) with 40-53 person capacity and handicap accessibility will be required. Scheduling will be based on staggered starting times from 9:00 am to 11:30 am and staggered finishing times from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Buses will be used on narrow roads in sensitive vegetation and related habitat areas. Given the variability in weather conditions at the Headlands area, there will be an occasional need to cancel buses the morning ofor night before undesirable days. Cancellation pricing and policy information will be requested to determine the most economically advantageous program award and to assist in developing contingency plans. This acquisition will be a Small Purchase/Small Business Set-aside. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the Request for Quotations by facsimile request to (415) 663-8522.
