Notice of Intent to Single Source Award for Shuttle Service
This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications.
This announcement is to provide public notice of the National Park Services intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition.
This project will provide uninterrupted transportation services in the Giant Forest area of Sequoia National Park during peak visitation periods.
Buses will connect Lodgepole Visitor Center and Campground, Wuksachi Lodge, Dorst Campground, Giant Forest Museum, Wolverton, Crescent Meadow and Moro Rock.
The Park and the City of Visalia will collaborate in areas of traffic management, visitor information, resource protection, and programs to encourage park visitation by youth and minority groups in gateway communities.
The public purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide a safe and efficient system of transportation within the Sierra Nevada, operating in conjunction with the bus route from Visalia, running uninterrupted and accommodating the needs of those with handicaps.
This shuttle service not only opens up the opportunity for seasonal employment to local students and residents working for the park while reducing poor air quality in the Valley, but also enhances the visitor experience by relieving parking lot congestion at key park tourism sites and increases safety through the reduction of vehicles on the road during the peak summer months.
