M--Intent to single source notice

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Southeast Region, intends to award on a single source basis a contract to Martino Enterprises for the use of Refuge property in connection with the operation of a concession at the Henry County (County), Tennessee, Mansard Island Marina. The concession operation involves: A. The sales of approved sport fishing supplies, including Tennessee hunting and fishing licenses, artificial and live bait(s), as well as outdoor gear, souvenirs, food, and beverages, etc. B. Rental of Jon boats and pontoon boats. Upon request by the concessionaire and approval by the Refuge Manager the following public services may also be authorized: A. Rental of boats, outboard motors and battery powered trolling motors. B. Food and beer. C. Collection of boat launch fees. Justification for non-competition of this requirement: Martino Enterprises owns all infrastructures immediately adjacent to the refuge property. This includes duplex style lodging, campground, hotel lodging, pool, playground equipment, and maintenance facilities that support the marina. Since the refuge property adjoins the property owned by Martino Enterprises, it would not be possible for another vendor to operate a marina at this location. Inquiries concerning this concession operation may be submitted in writing to the following: Mark Tapp US Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Region Division of Contracting and Grant Services 1875 Century Blvd., Suite 310 Atlanta, GA 30345 Email: [email protected] All inquiries must be received by the USFWS by 11:00 am (EST), 14 May, 2015.
