Concession contract deadline extended again

The National Park Service extended the deadline a second and final time for submitting a proposal for a concession contract at Glacier National Park.

Proposals now must be submitted by April 16. The current concession contract has been held by Glacier Park Inc. since 1981 and will expire on Dec. 31. The new 16-year concession contract is expected to take effect Jan. 1, 2014.

The contract covers seasonal concession operations at five lodging locations, 10 food and beverage locations, eight retail locations, road-based tours and transportation-related operations, and other services in Glacier Park.
