Description

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is seeking a qualified commercial operator to run a 20‑year concession at the Silos Recreation Area on Canyon Ferry Reservoir. The contractor will manage campground facilities, boat‑ramp services, and a seasonal retail outlet, and must deliver a range of required improvements (office building, dock with ≥ 60 slips, gangway, credit‑card kiosk, and host‑site amenities) before the 2027 operating season. The award will be based on technical compliance and the proposed franchise‑fee percentage, with a minimum 3 % of gross receipts paid annually and participation in a Reserve Account for Repair & Replacement (RARR).

Budget estimate

$3,000,000 – $5,000,000

Historical gross receipts for the existing concession are about $130‑$140 k per year. Assuming the new concession can achieve similar or modestly higher revenue and must pay a minimum 3 % franchise fee plus annual RARR deposits, the contractor’s net earnings could range from roughly $150 k to $250 k per year. Over the 20‑year contract term, total earnings would therefore be in the $3 million‑$5 million range. This estimate accounts for potential revenue growth, required infrastructure investments, and the mandatory insurance and compliance costs.
