Chapter 3: The Prospectus

Considerations for issuin g a Prospectus : Application Evaluation Plan

1. Proposed Operating Plan Provisions

2. Business Plan and Business Experience

The quality and quantity of required andoptional services are assessed under thiscriterion. Ask applicants to explain howrequired and optional public services will bedelivered. Have applicants demonstratequality customer service and timely compli-ance with permit and operating planrequirements. See Development of aProspectus,. Proposed Operating PlanProvisions, in this chapter for detailedinformation on this topic.

Business Plan

Require applicants to submit a business plan.For each part of the project, the projectbusiness plan must specify whether theapplicant will perform the work or meet therequirement via a third party. The applicantmust identify any third parties who will beresponsible for any of the operational aspectsof the concession, and describe their relevantexperience.

The plan should estimate the costs ofoperating the facilities. It should identify allinterim and permanent sources of funds.

The plan should include information con-cerning the business organization andorganizational structure required by 36 CFR251.54(e)(1) and 251.54(e)(2)(ii), such asapplicant name and mailing address,designated agent, evidence of incorporationand good standing, and the name andaddress of each affiliate of the applicant.Applicants that are limited-liability companiesshould provide the names and interests of thecompanies' principals.

State that if the applicant is not incorporatedin the state where the concession is located,the applicant must submit a license to dobusiness in that state.

Business Experience

Instruct applicants to furnish a detailed descriptionof experience relating to operation of recreationsites, such as campgrounds, beaches, boat ramps,and associated facilities. The description shouldinclude experience in private business, publicservices, or any nonprofit or other relatedenterprises. For each business venture, haveapplicants provide:

* The dates for the business experience. * The location of the business. * A description of services provided. * A description of customers served. * The number of employees supervised. * The volume of business.

For experience in managing FS or otherGovernment campgrounds and associated facilities,applicants should also provide copies of annualwritten performance evaluations, or state that anevaluation was not completed for the yearsreferenced.

Require applicants to furnish three businessreferences with names, addresses, and telephonenumbers in support of applicable businessexperience.

3. Financial Resources

Under this criterion, evaluate applicants based onthe amount of funding that is readily available tothem. Funding can take the form of cash, letter ofcredit, stocks, or mutual funds. Use completedform FS-6500-25, “Request for Verification,” orother verifiable information submitted to assist inmaking this assessment. Include the form as anappendix to the prospectus. Review of thecompleted FS-6500-25 forms or acceptablesubstitute will also be one of the components of theFAD made on the selected applicant. (Appendix 3B,pages 3 - 24-25, contains a copy of FS-6500-25.)

Specify in the instructions for FS-6500-25 the FSaddress to which the completed forms should besent. Require all applicants to complete blocks 1through 5 of the form and to send a copy to eachfinancial institution with which they do business.Each of these financial institutions should

Considerations tor lashin g a Prospectus: Application Evaluation Plan

complete blocks 6 through 15 of the form,and return it to the address specified in theform.

4. Fee to the Government

This criterion addresses the fee the conces-sionaire will pay for the use of Government-owned improvements and their associatedland, as well as work that will be required tooffset that fee. Refer to Chapter 5, PermitFees and G-T Fee Offset,' for furtherdiscussion of these topics.

State that the Government is obligated toobtain fair market value for the use of its landand improvements. Specify how the fee willbe determined, and the minimum fee. Theprospectus should state that applicants maypropose any fee they wish, but that the feeproposed may not be below fair marketvalue. State that applicants may propose afee higher than the FS stated minimum fee. The prospectus shuld also inform applicantsthat they may propose a fee below the statedminimum if they believe this lower feerepresents a fair market value. However,state that an application with a proposed feethat is below the minimum fee may berejected if the FS determines that theproposed fee does not reflect fair marketvalue.

Applicants should also be asked to describehow they will plan and complete any G-T feeoffset items. See “Development of aProspectus,'” “The Opportunity,” “G-T FeeOffset Agreement”. in this chapter forinformation on this topic.

5. Fees Charged to the Public

Under this criterion, the services that will beprovided are compared to the prices that willbe charged for them. For example, anapplicant that provides a wide range ofquality services at a moderate price wouldreceive a higher rating under this criterionthan an applicant that provides a limitedrange of services for a high price.

Generally, the FS does not regulate prices,but reserves the right to do so. Market

mechanisms should dictate what users arecharged at concession sites. In some locations,lack of competition may create a monopoly. It isappropriate in these circumstances to state thatprices and price increases are subject to FSapproval. Prices may be compared to prevailingrates for comparable services and facilities in thearea, to determine if the public will receive a goodvalue for the service provided.

Ask applicants to provide a list of all proposed feesto be charged to the public, including pricingpolicies, use fees, other service fees/rentals, andsundries. See 'Development of a ProspectusesProposed Operating PlanProvisions,''Concessionaire Income andExpenses, for a discussion of these types of fees.The proposed fees should be tied to the proposedoperating plan provisions.

6. Willingness to Take Multiple Sites

Multiple sites may be included in the sameprospectus. Separate permits may be issued foreach site or administrative unit advertised in theprospectus. Alternatively, the FS may put multiplesites or all sites included in the prospectus underthe same permit.

Putting several recreation sites or complexesunder one permit may simplify administration orenhance the business viability of an opportunity. Indetermining whether to consolidate recreationsites, balance the advantages of simplifiedadministration and enhanced viability against thedisadvantage of reduced competition and impactsto small business.

The prospectus should specify whether a singlepermit or multiple permits will be issued, and if thelatter, for which sites each permit will be issued.The prospectus must specify whether applicantsmay apply for any site or sites they wish, orwhether applicants must apply for a minimumnumber of sites, a certain combination of sites, orall sites. If applicants may apply for any site orsites they wish, state whether or not applying formore sites or a certain combination of sites willresult in a higher rating.

canceling a reservation.

Appendix 8B is reserved for additionalinformation on the NRRS, which will bedeveloped in conjunction with award of the newNRRS contract. A National RecreationReservation Service Guidebook has beendrafted that provides detailed information on theNRRS. Consult the chapter on permitadministration for specific language to insert inprospectuses, operating plans, and reservationplans with respect to the NRRS in general andto ensure holder compliance with changes tothe NRRS in particular.

Golden Age / Golden Access Passports

State that concessionaires must honor GoldenAge and Golden Access Passports. Theseentitle the holder to a 50 percent discount onuse fees that are charged per vehicle, perperson, or per single-family unit.

Camp Stamps

Concessionaires must honor Camp Stamps,and may submit them to the FS for reimburse-ment.

Free Fishing/Camping Day Policy

Note Forest policy on free fishing/campingdays. Until national policy is adopted, mandato-ry participation in these events by concession-aires is discouraged, but voluntary participationis encouraged.

Customer Service Comment Cards

State that the concessionaire will be required tomake available to the public Form FS-1300-5,Customer Service Comment Cards (seeAppendix 8F, pages 8 - 16-17). Some Forestsand Regions have other forms besides theCustomer Service Comment Card. Indicatewhether there are other customer feedbackforms that must be made available to the public.

Any required forms must have an Office ofManagement and Budget (OMB) controlnumber for Paperwork Reduction Act compli-ance. Indicate whether applicants will receiveadditional evaluation credit for instituting acustomer feedback program of their own, as

part of their business.

Compilation of Use and Revenue Data

This section describes requirements forcompiling and submitting use and revenue data.A standard form is provided in Appendix8A (page 8-3), which is being submitted for anOMB control number for Paperwork ReductionAct compliance. Supply copies of this form, andinstruct applicants that they must use it orprovide comparable data in an alternate format.Indicate that the FS may require participation inrecreation use surveys that the agencyconducts.

Performance Evaluations

Indicate that a mid-year and an annualperformance evaluation will be performed, andthat an unsatisfactory annual rating may because for suspension or revocation of thepermit. Also state that a sustained satisfactoryperformance is necessary an extension. (SeeChapter 7 for a complete discussion ofperformance evaluations.)

Accessibility

Offering accessible programs is required bylaw, makes good business sense, and providesbetter customer service.

The Forest Service is responsible for ensuringthat any Government M&R performed atconcession sites meets both Uniform FederalAccessibility Standards (UFAS) and AmericansWith Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines(ADAAG), where applicable, and that outdoorrecreation opportunities (e.g., trails or fishingstations) meet the agency's accessible outdoor-recreation guidelines, Universal Access toOutdoor Recreation; A Design Guide, until theArchitectural and Transportation BarriersCompliance Board (Access Board or ATBCB)finalizes ADAAG for outdoor recreation.

It is the responsibility of the FS to perform aself-evaluation of programs and facilities foraccessibility, and to develop a transition plan.Use the transition plan as appropriate todevelop requirements for program accessibilityin the prospectus.

Chapter 3: The - Prospectus

Development at a Prospectus : The Opportunity

ADAAG, and the agency's accessibility guidelines.(See Chapter 5 for discussion of GovernmentM&R and G-T fee offset.)

Additionally, state that it is the concessionaire'sresponsibility to ensure effective communicationwith interested persons, including individuals withimpaired vision or hearing, so that all visitors mayobtain information on accessible services,activities, and facilities. Concessionaires mustensure effective day-to-day communication withindividuals with disabilities, in accordance with 7CFR 15e, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, asamended, and other related Federal and statelaws. Information should be provided, uponreasonable request, in alternative formats such asbraille, audio tape, and large print. Sign languageinterpreters require advance notice (usually 48hours) for scheduling. Inform the concessionaire ofavailable services in the area and the lead timerequired to obtain them.

Special-Use Permit to Be Issued

State that the selected applicant will be required tocomply with a special-use permit, and that astandard permit for this type of concession isattached as an appendix to the prospectus. Whencompleted, Appendix 3F will contain the standardspecial-use permit, FS-2700-4h, Special-UsePermit for Campground and Related Granger-Thye Concessions..

This section discusses permit provisions specificto concessions covered by this desk guide (permitterm and renewal), and a fairly new provision(responsibility for day-to-day activities).

Permit Term

Refer to Clause l.C of FS-2700-4h. The agencyreserves the right to set the term for the permit.The prospectus must specify the permit term. Theinitial term will typically be five years, with anoption to extend the permit term for five years atthe sole discretion of the authorized officer. Thedecision to extend the term must be based onsustained satisfactory performance. (Refer toChapter 7 for a detailed discussion of performance

evaluations.) The agency may issue a permit for ashorter term, based on administrative need. Forexample, the opportunity may be for a three- orone-year permit with no extension, when a capitalinvestment project is anticipated.

Until agency policy has been changed, issue permitswith a one-year term, with an option at the agency'ssole discretion to extend the permit term for fourconsecutive one-year periods, or with a three-yearterm, with an option at the agency's sole discretion toextend the permit term for two consecutive one-yearperiods. (Refer to Chapter 7 for a detailed discussionof performance evaluations.)

Renewal

Refer to Clause l.D of FS-2700-4h. FS-2700-4h doesnot provide for renewal. Once the permit expires,continuation of the type of use and occupancyauthorized by the permit is at the sole discretion of theauthorized officer, and must be subject to acompetitive offering.

Responsibility for Day-to-Day Activities

Refer to Clause II.F of FS-2700-4h. As a general rule,the holder must conduct the day-to-day activitiesauthorized by the permit. Some, but not all, of theseactivities (such as boat rentals or garbage disposal)may be conducted by a party other than the holder,but only with prior written approval of the authorizedofficer. The holder will continue to be responsible forcompliance with all the terms of the permit.

G-T Fee Offset Agreement

As owner of the improvements, the Governmentbears responsibility for M&R that extend the life of theimprovements. All or part of the permit fee may beoffset by the cost of Government M&R. (See Chapter5 for a detailed discussion of these topics.) G-T feeoffset projects must be documented in an annual G-Tfee offset agreement that will become part of thepermit. The agreement may be amended at theagency's discretion.

3- 11

Chapter 3: The Prospectus

Development of a Prospectus: The Opportunity

The following should be specified in this section:

* A description of Government M&R.

* The portion of the permit fee that will beoffset by Government M&R.

* A prioritized list of G-T fee offset projectsthat may be required. Describe the work andits location, estimated cost, specifications,and deadlines. This list should be includedin an appendix to the prospectus. (Appendix5A contains a sample list of G-T fee offsetprojects, and Appendix 5B contains asample G-T fee offset agreement.)

* Specification of requirements for G-T feeoffset projects, including use of a particularbrand or color of paint to match existingfacilities, a particular brand or model for areplacement item, or a certain technique fora particular job. Note that placing too manylimitations on the concessionaire mayunnecessarily increase the cost of projects.Provide available design standards.

* Indicate whether the concessionaire will berequired, or has the option, to enter into acollection agreement with the FS to performGovernment M&R. (See Chapter 6 for adiscussion of collection agreements.)

* A description of G-T fee offset accountingprocedures. (See Chapter 5 for moreinformation on this subject.)

Standard Operating Plan Provisions

An annual operating plan (AOP) must beprepared by the concessionaire and approved bythe authorized officer. The AOP will become partof the permit. This section of the prospectusaddresses FS requirements for the AOP thathave no bearing on the selection process.

The AOP will elaborate on agency policy andpermit clauses by establishing schedules, duedates, and details concerning implementation.These items do not need to be addressed inapplications. Rather, they may be coordinatedwith the selected applicant. However, providingan outline of standard AOP provisions will give

prospective applicants a complete understandingof the operational requirements governing theconcession sites.

Not every AOP will have the same combinationof standard provisions. The selection of standardAOP provisions may vary, depending on thenature of the concession. The following is a listof some standard AOP provisions that are ofgeneral interest, and instructions on how to draftthem. Where appropriate, they are keyed tocorresponding clauses in FS-2700-4h.

Site Capacities

Identify any unit capacities for sites, includingsingle and multiple units, group areas, andparking areas. This information may be providedin an appendix to the prospectus. Describe anyuse restrictions, such as boating or floatingrestrictions, and how the concessionaire shouldenforce them.

Reserved Administrative Use

if the FS anticipates using campsites or otherfacilities for administrative purposes, specify thenumber of sites and days that will be reserved bythe FS. For example, 'Campsite #10 is reservedfrom June 15 to July 15 for a Forest Service fieldbiologist at no cost to the agency, or "The ForestService reserves the right to use Group Shelter#3 for three days during the season."

Capital Investment Projects

Where G-T fee offset cannot generate enoughfunds to cover the cost of needed GovernmentM&R at a concession site, capital investmentprojects may be required. Anticipate theseprojects before issuing a prospectus, anddescribe them in the prospectus. Stagger thework so that most of the concession isoperational during construction. Notify applicantsof the sequence in which the work will be done,and state that once a portion is finished, it willbecome available for operation.

If income-producing sites will be affected, informapplicants of how many sites will be closed eachseason. For example, "Loop C

3 - 12

Chapter 3: The Prospectus

(25 units) will be under construction in 1999. Oncecompleted and operational, Loop C will be opened,and Loop B (30 units) will be closed for renovationsState that the Forest Service shall not be liable forany claim for damages associated with closure ofsites under construction. Include the same statementin the AOP.

Holder-Furnished Property

State that the concessionaire will be expected toprovide all supplies, equipment, and vehiclesnecessary to operate the concession sites inaccordance with permit and AOP requirements.All-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, motorbikes,and similar vehicles may not be used atconcession sites without prior written approvalfrom the FS. Vehicles must be attractive, clean,quiet, and well maintained. A professional-caliber sign containing the concessionaire'sname must be displayed on the door of eachvehicle used at concession sites.

A sample list of holder-furnished property maybe included as an appendix to the prospectus.(Appendix 3G, on page 3-54, contains a samplelist of holder-furnished property.)

Refer to Clauses II.C and IV.E.1(c) of FS-2700-4h. The concessionaire, at its expense, will berequired to perform holder M&R under a holderM&R plan developed by the FS that will becomepart of the AOP. This section defines holderM&R and describes required holder M&Rresponsibilities and their frequency. A holderM&R plan should be included as an appendix tothe prospectus. (Appendix 3H, pages 3 - 55-56,contains a sample holder M&R plan.)
