body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this agreement is to establish a management relationship between the City of Pensacola and the National Park Service, Gulf Islands National Seashore (NPS) regarding the use of facilities to provide Ferry Service to the National Seashore. The Port of Pensacola and Commendencia Slip will serve as the ferry landing location for public loading and unloading, ticket sales, waiting area and ferry dockage when not in use.
This agreement modifies the current agreement adopted November 15, 2015. The NPS requested reconsideration of several issues after they did not receive an acceptable bid for the Pensacola Bay Ferry Service concession. The NPS will revise the prospectus in order to re-advertise in Summer 2017. Revisions to the agreement include addressing parking availability in near proximity to the landing, a reduction in the site rental fees and 10 year term versus five. All issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of NPS and City staff.
