The term of the proposed concessionaire contract is for 20 years. Those documents contemplate State Parks generating revenue from the ferry service at Angel Island. ‘Ths pier, dock, moorings and other improvements within San Francisco Bay at Angel [sland are located on tide and submerged lands managed by the State Lands Commission and leased to State Parks pursuant to Lease No. PRC 2413.9 (attached). The subject RFP and proposed 20- year lease appears to be inconsistent with the terms of the current State Lands Commission Lease No. PRC 2413.9. Specifically, several lease provisions prohibit commercial activites, any subleasing by State Parks, and agreements with third parties, involving the lands and improvements subject to Lease No. PRC 2413.9 without prior approval of the State Lands Commission, Due to these potential lease compliance issues, Commission staff recommend State Parks cancel or put the subject RFP on hold, and refrain from entering into any concessionaire contract unti the inconsistencies identified above can be resolved. If you or your staff have any questions or concems, please do not hesitate to contact Nicholas Lavoie at (816) 574-0452 or nicholas Javole@sle.ca.qov.
