Strawberry Fee Confusion

[dubob]

Regarding your information that there is a budgetary limit for repairs/upgrades it's even more onerous than that as the Forest Service pays for all repairs, not the contracted vendor and therefore every repair has to be approved by the forest service. Just another example of how this contract is so upside down. the vendor is getting a basically guaranteed profit margin with no capital risk.

Todd, you may be correct on that, but that isn't what the RHWL Staff Officer told me on the phone.  The concessionaire is responsible for the cost of minor repairs up to a certain amount.  Replacement of a broken toilet paper holder might be one while replacement of a fish cleaning station grinder or a floating dock might not.  This most likely is all spelled out in the contract, but I'm not interested enough in those kinds of details to wade through the FOIA process to find out.  I don't plan on using Strawberry at all during the soft water season.  Way to far to go for me for day trips and I no longer have an RV to camp in up there.
