Ochoco National Forest Advertisement for Campground Concession Permit. Proposals Due September 31, 2010
The Ochoco National Forest, is advertising a Forest Service Campground Concession opportunity. The current special use permit will terminate on December 31, 2010. The purpose of this letter is to provide you notice and to solicit and invite interest from possible proponents. The permit will be for a 5-year term with an option to extend the permit for an additional 5-year term with operations to start in the spring of 2011. This Concession opportunity includes 8 Campgrounds and 2 Day Use Areas. Proposals are due on September 31, 2010.
* These activities have historically required a "Special Use Permit", which sometimes includes a fee and sometimes are free. The Recreation Enhancement Act allows funds from these fees to now remain where collected. A Special Use Permit grants rights or privileges of occupancy and use to the holder. Examples include reserving a public site for a wedding party, or holding a bicycle race on public lands. These permits contain specific terms and conditions that the holder must follow. Before Special Use Permits are issued, the Forest Service must determine that the proposed use complies with all management plans and laws, that there is a demonstrated need for the activity, and that the use is appropriate on national forest system lands. Special Use Permits are a temporary authority. |
