The National Park Service intends to issue a Prospectus for renewal of 11 concession contracts to provide for guided float trips, fishing trips and horseback rides in Grand Teton National Park.

Only two contracts are authorized to provide guided horseback rides. No government-owned facilities or structures will be assigned in the park for use by these concessioners. No capital investment is required during the new contracts. Any Offeror that is selected as a new concessioner is not obligated to purchase any personal property (equipment, merchandise and supplies) of the existing concessioners. The existing concesion permits between the National Park Service and the existing concessioners expire by limitation of time on December 31, 2001.
