Approximately 95 hotel rooms will be needed as soon as it is known that normal operations will be impossible in the New Orleans area. It is requested the United States Coast Guard have the first right to 95 rooms. The hotel shall be within 1 (one) mile of the Natchez Convention Center for the ICP.

The Size Standard is $6.5 million. The period of performance is anticipated for five-one year ordering periods commencing October 6, 2008.
