Lake Clark National Park and Preserve has a large staff of summer transients and researchers. The house accommodates 10 beds, two full bathrooms, a laundry facility, and full kitchen. Alaska's Homestead Inn provides all linens and kitchen supplies as well. While Port Alsworth has another lodge for housing, it cannot accommodate the amount of staff and beds required by the Park. There simply no other lodging available in Port Alsworth to meet the needs of the park and its staff. Lodges are at full capacity all summer and the church bible camp housing is full as well. Past rental from 2007 season has been sold to park employees and is not an option. The park has rented this house prior to 2007 (under different ownership) and from 2008 through 2010. EFFORTS TO LOCATE OTHER SOURCESAlaska's Homestead Inn has provided these facilities for several previous seasons. A thorough internet search was conducted for additional sources. Searching real estate sites, VRBO sites, and hotel searches did not produce any additional capable sources. All actions have been taken by the Government to remove or overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for required supplies or services.
