Shuttle Services to Elmer's Island

The shuttle operation will provide transportation to visitors

and their gear from the parking area at Elmer’s Island

Wildlife Refuge to the beach at Caminada Pass, a

distance of approximately 2 miles.

* Per Attachment B - Specifications

The Contractor is to provide the vehicles as follows:

* All-Terrain Vehicles, able to transport 5 passengers

(6-person ATV) with trailer attachment, or

* Modified 4-wheel drive truck, able to transport 5

passengers, with optional trailer.

* No more than 4 vehicles shall be utilized at any one time.

* Quantity = the number of possible ‘shuttle shifts’ per

year.

* Unit = Each = ‘one shuttle shift’.

* A ‘shuttle shift’ is a flat daily rate for running one shuttle

on Elmer’s Island Beach per day. You can have multiple
