(a) General Guidelines: - (ii) The Division reserves the right to limit the number of short term permits.
- (iii) Upon the Park Superintendent's recommendation, the Division Director has the final authority to issue permits. The Division Director may limit the number of times a permit is issued to a specific individual, group or organization.
- (iv) A non-refundable administrative fee, as specified by the Division, will be paid in advance.
- (v) All potential permit holders must apply to the park in writing sixty (60) days prior to the initial start up date.
- (vi) The Park Superintendent may refuse to allow any activity if not expressly authorized by the permit held for the park or historic site.
- (vii) For both types of permits, the permit holder must have liability insurance (which may include liquor liability). A permit holder must comply with all federal and state regulations, and release, indemnify and hold harmless both the state and federal government.
- (viii) Depending on the activity, a damage deposit or the filing of a bond with satisfactory surety payable to the state may be required by the Division. Should any damage, repair, clean-up or environmental remediation exceed the amount of the deposit, the sponsoring group, organization or individual will be billed for the balance by the State of Wyoming.
- (ix) Short Term Permit Evaluations:
- (A) Both an Exclusive and Non Exclusive Use Permit will be evaluated with the following criteria:
- (II) Whether it will address an identified need.
- (III) Affect on natural, cultural or aesthetic resources.
- (IV) Return to the state and compliance with all requirements.
- (V) Other information as deemed necessary.
(b) Exclusive Use Short Term Permit - (i) Those types of concessions that include the exclusive use of park property is an Exclusive Use Short Term Permit. This type of permit requires a fee based on the fair market value of the property used. In addition, a percentage of gross revenue may be charged. The fair market value will be determined by the Division. For example, an exclusive use concession may include a snack shack, temporary horse stable and corral or a specific vending area.
- (ii) For those concessions that include the exclusive use of park property, the permit will be competitively bid using a condensed version of the Request for Proposal (RFP) process as outlined herein.
- (iii) If an interested party submits a written request for an Exclusive Use Short Term Permit prior to the issuance of a Request for Proposal (RFP), the competitive bid process is still required. However, the prospective concessionaire will receive additional credit in the review process.
(c) Non Exclusive Use Short Term Permit. - (i) If the short term permit activity does not include the exclusive use of the park property, such as an ice cream van or the sale of firewood from the rear of a pick-up truck, a Non Exclusive Use Short Term Permit will be issued. There will be no competitive bid and there may be no limitations on the number of these permits issued within the park. Payment will be based on a percentage of gross revenues.
- (ii) Information in the permit application must include the following for a short term concession:
- (A) Project description to include type of concession, hours and dates of operation or season of operation, specific location, operating procedures, type of equipment to be used and item(s) to be sold.
