Solicitation for proposals for a new concession contract to operate lodging, food and beverage, retail, and other services at Lake Crescent Lodge, Log Cabin Resort, Fairholme Store, and Hurricane Ridge within Olympic National Park

The National Park Service (NPS) intends to release any day a business opportunity soliciting proposals to award a new twelve (12) year concession contract to provide lodging, food and beverage, retail, campground, rentals, firewood, and other related services at Lake Crescent Lodge, Log Cabin Resort, Fairholme Store, and Hurricane Ridge within Olympic National Park.

The NPS will hold a one-day site visit for organizations interested in bidding on this opportunity on September 18, 2024. The site visit provides interested persons, corporations, or other entities an overview of the concession operations along with a tour of the Concession Facilities, as that term is defined in the Draft Contract, assigned to the Concessioner under the Draft Contract. To attend the site visit, registration is required. To register, please email Kimberley Gagliolo, Commercial Services Specialist, Interior Regions 8, 9, 10, and 12 at kim_gagliolo@nps.gov with the name of your company, contact phone number and email, and the number of people attending from your organization, no later than September 16, 2024. Additional information regarding meeting time and location will be provided after registration.

Site visit participants are responsible for obtaining their own lodging, meals, and transportation to the respective Concession Facilities. Participants must be 18 years of age or older. Please be prepared for varying weather and walking between buildings. Since the concession operation will be serving visitors at the time of the site visit, the NPS limits the number of representatives that each company, including any supporting contractors, may bring to the site visit to five (5), and no more than two (2) people per organization, including any supporting contractors, will be permitted within the kitchen areas. Attendance at the site visit is not required to submit a proposal for the prospectus; however, attendance is encouraged.

Questions regarding the prospectus must be received, in writing, no later than 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on September 30, 2024. Email your questions to Kimberley Gagliolo, Commercial Services Specialist, at kim_gagliolo@nps.gov.

Any interested party intending to submit a proposal must submit a "Notice of Intent to Propose" as described in the Business Opportunity and Proposal Instructions, no later than 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on November 21, 2024.

The NPS is ONLY accepting electronic proposals in response to this prospectus. Any proposal must be received electronically, no later than 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 19, 2024, in the format outline in the Proposal Instructions, to be evaluated for award of the new concession contract.
