Business Plan Page 1 of2
A Basis for Determining Gross Receipts and Revenues
We have reviewed park attendance records ie attachment B page 4 of 13 We observe the decline in attendance for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and another decline for fiscal year 2003-2004 ie 593986 visitors to 559696 visitors for fiscal year 2003-2004 Reasons for th e decline are not clear other than wetter and drier weather conditions Even so we expect with our promotional and advertising and other plans that visitor levels should move upward again for fiscal year 2006-2007
I have based judgment for determining 2006 gross receipts and revenues by an increase factor of20 We suspect an increase in Florida tourism advertising stressing recovery from hurricanes Ivan and Dennis andhopefully do not expect four Florida Hurricanes in 2006 at least not in mid-peak season months
Even so I am cautious and perplexed by general income figures verbally stated by present VSP of income and profits that do not seem to correlate to historical percentages of attendance and wish to make a further analysis of this apparent discrepancy
Still for the purposes of this proposal we are using 20 as a projected revenue increase
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I Page 2 of2
We are submitting a fee paid to the state of Florida of 12~0 as opposed to the 1000 paid by present VSP We believe this to be an upper level maximum to gain the VSP award and still allow a reasonable profitable operation We would prefer a slightly lower percentage as possibly needed cushion to help overcome unpredictable circumstances Yet we are still submitting the 1230 factor based on the following anticipations
1 1l1e already implemented increase in Shell Island Shuttle services 2 We believe considerable improvements resulting in increased sales of food items due to
up scaled service equipment and more efficient access We also propose additional menu items and improved promotions in the food service area
3 Improved more efficient equipment should reduce waiting time at concessions4 There are concession layouts and promotional plans to be implemented that should also
increase the food concession gross sales 5 A BIG KEY FACTOR is employee placement training and management This should
reduce the personnel cost to gross we believe in most aspects of the park We will rely heavily on increased training and cross training to better utilize the work force
6 We also have the utmost confidence in our management staff and projected TEAM approach to operations
7 We find merchandizing and display of sundries to be lacking We will change the basis of merchandizing by the establishment of expected sales per square foot of shelf space wall display space and floor space required by freestanding displays
8 Some rearrangement of merchandizing floor plans should provide a more attractive and improved flow ofvisitor observation of sale merchandise
9 We will work with vendors who should provide better newer and more modern display units signage and promotional materials
10 We will discover and pursue certain co-op promotions and advertising through present or newly selected vendors
11 We will solicit more consignment merchandise with some end ofseason return privileges to be in conjunction with fully stock stores and yet reduce carryover
12 We will close out all dated or slow moving inventory and replace with the latest fastershyselling products
13 We plan to utilize the trailer space as a stock storage and warehouse facility and draw form it frequently so that a wider variety of merchandise can be carried at point of sale locations
14 Square footage is a premium merchandise exposure to visitors for service sales and purchases can be more varied In store excess stock or over stock will be eliminated
15 We will propose an attractive concession vessel with heads for male and female and a concession outlet Said unit will be capable of carrying kayaks canoes umbrellas for rent to Shell Island and shall be anchored at shoreline during the day to provide sanitation facilities Rentals lotions canoes as well as ice snacks and other needs for Shell Island visitors would be welcomed It would become another point of sale and visitor service not presently offered
16 We wish to eliminate non-essential employee parking from lots to provide for needed visitor space we are open to discussion how best to accomplish this There is no reason 25 or 30 cars should occupy spaces needed by visitors
17 There are other suggestions and proposals we wish to discuss at the appropriate time should we be short-listed for more in depth discussions and fmal negotiations

D Visitor services facilities and equipment to be utilized to provide the goods and services described above The goal of this potential VSP is to provide visitors with as many conveniences for their stay with us here at St Andrews State Park for an overall quality most relaxing experience We have agreed to purchase all existing equipment from the current VSP (See Attachment A) to provide the same conveniences and some additional conveniences to patrons at St Andrews State Park Below you will find our plan to use each of these items and the location of the items or services within the St Andrews State Park
The first items addressed in our plan are the two Shuttle Boats Due to the seasonal profitability time frame for this service we propose the following schedule of operation
July 1 to October 1 We will operate one shuttle boat only on Sunday Monday Friday and Saturday from 900 am until 500 pm Two shutttes boats will operate on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 900 am until 500 pm passed o erating reports will support that these 3 days are the most visited days to Shell Island Variations of his schedule would only occur when visitor count reflected the need for fewer trips made to and from the island The schedule for operating one shuttle boat will pick up every 30 minutes On the days thit two shuttle boats are operating the pick up time will be every 15 minutes working opposite of the other boat one on shore at the island while the second shuttle will be at the loading doc provided ir side the state park located just to the left of the primary boat launch area Tickets will be sold for tne service from the Pier Store location and this location will open at 800 am to begin the ticket sale until last boat has delivered all island visitors back to the Pier Store Ticket price for shuttle trip ill be $1150 (over Age 12) and we will also offer at $1895 adult and $1295 for child a snorkeling package which will include the shuttle trip mask snorkel fins and dive flag We will offer to the public a discount coupon in the amount of $100 off the adult shuttle trip ticket at regular price of $1110 and $200 off the adult snorkel package at regular price of $1895 through 3 methods 2 will e offered in two separate local publications that distributes to tourist various discounts for many di erent activities in the Panama City Beach area and we will offer a $200 of discount coupon from the St Andrews State Park web site This location will also offer a kayak package at $3500 for a single and $4500 for a tandem kayak which includes the shuttle trip ticket Visitors will purchase their package and our staff will arrange for equipment to be available for their enjoyment once they arrive at the island The purchase of the conventional bus and trolley from the current VSP will be used to provide a transportation service for the convenience of patrons that will travel from the Pier Store location to the shuttle boat departure location With a new purchase by this VSP of an appropriate transportation vehicle an open-air design would be recommended enabling this VSP to provide additional transportation to assist St Andrews State Park with our parking problem at the Jetty Area Visitors will be able to park at the Pier Store parking and be transported to the Jetty Store Area on a 30-minute schedule A plan to schedule transportation to and from condominiums and hotels will also be considered with advice and agreement with the State Park officials

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan Page 1 of2
A Basis for Determining Gross Receipts and Revenues
We have reviewed park attendance records ie attachment B page 4 of 13 We observe the decline in attendance for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and another decline for fiscal year 2003-2004 ie 593986 visitors to 559696 visitors for fiscal year 2003-2004 Reasons for th e decline are not clear other than wetter and drier weather conditions Even so we expect with our promotional and advertising and other plans that visitor levels should move upward again for fiscal year 2006-2007
I have based judgment for determining 2006 gross receipts and revenues by an increase factor of20 We suspect an increase in Florida tourism advertising stressing recovery from hurricanes Ivan and Dennis andhopefully do not expect four Florida Hurricanes in 2006 at least not in mid-peak season months
Even so I am cautious and perplexed by general income figures verbally stated by present VSP of income and profits that do not seem to correlate to historical percentages of attendance and wish to make a further analysis of this apparent discrepancy
Still for the purposes of this proposal we are using 20 as a projected revenue increase
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I Page 2 of2
We are submitting a fee paid to the state of Florida of 12~0 as opposed to the 1000 paid by present VSP We believe this to be an upper level maximum to gain the VSP award and still allow a reasonable profitable operation We would prefer a slightly lower percentage as possibly needed cushion to help overcome unpredictable circumstances Yet we are still submitting the 1230 factor based on the following anticipations
1 1l1e already implemented increase in Shell Island Shuttle services 2 We believe considerable improvements resulting in increased sales of food items due to
up scaled service equipment and more efficient access We also propose additional menu items and improved promotions in the food service area
3 Improved more efficient equipment should reduce waiting time at concessions4 There are concession layouts and promotional plans to be implemented that should also
increase the food concession gross sales 5 A BIG KEY FACTOR is employee placement training and management This should
reduce the personnel cost to gross we believe in most aspects of the park We will rely heavily on increased training and cross training to better utilize the work force
6 We also have the utmost confidence in our management staff and projected TEAM approach to operations
7 We find merchandizing and display of sundries to be lacking We will change the basis of merchandizing by the establishment of expected sales per square foot of shelf space wall display space and floor space required by freestanding displays
8 Some rearrangement of merchandizing floor plans should provide a more attractive and improved flow ofvisitor observation of sale merchandise
9 We will work with vendors who should provide better newer and more modern display units signage and promotional materials
10 We will discover and pursue certain co-op promotions and advertising through present or newly selected vendors
11 We will solicit more consignment merchandise with some end ofseason return privileges to be in conjunction with fully stock stores and yet reduce carryover
12 We will close out all dated or slow moving inventory and replace with the latest fastershyselling products
13 We plan to utilize the trailer space as a stock storage and warehouse facility and draw form it frequently so that a wider variety of merchandise can be carried at point of sale locations
14 Square footage is a premium merchandise exposure to visitors for service sales and purchases can be more varied In store excess stock or over stock will be eliminated
15 We will propose an attractive concession vessel with heads for male and female and a concession outlet Said unit will be capable of carrying kayaks canoes umbrellas for rent to Shell Island and shall be anchored at shoreline during the day to provide sanitation facilities Rentals lotions canoes as well as ice snacks and other needs for Shell Island visitors would be welcomed It would become another point of sale and visitor service not presently offered
16 We wish to eliminate non-essential employee parking from lots to provide for needed visitor space we are open to discussion how best to accomplish this There is no reason 25 or 30 cars should occupy spaces needed by visitors
17 There are other suggestions and proposals we wish to discuss at the appropriate time should we be short-listed for more in depth discussions and fmal negotiations
Respectfully submitted

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We

since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel

Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist
Respectfully submitted

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan Page 1 of2
A Basis for Determining Gross Receipts and Revenues
We have reviewed park attendance records ie attachment B page 4 of 13 We observe the decline in attendance for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and another decline for fiscal year 2003-2004 ie 593986 visitors to 559696 visitors for fiscal year 2003-2004 Reasons for th e decline are not clear other than wetter and drier weather conditions Even so we expect with our promotional and advertising and other plans that visitor levels should move upward again for fiscal year 2006-2007
I have based judgment for determining 2006 gross receipts and revenues by an increase factor of20 We suspect an increase in Florida tourism advertising stressing recovery from hurricanes Ivan and Dennis andhopefully do not expect four Florida Hurricanes in 2006 at least not in mid-peak season months
Even so I am cautious and perplexed by general income figures verbally stated by present VSP of income and profits that do not seem to correlate to historical percentages of attendance and wish to make a further analysis of this apparent discrepancy
Still for the purposes of this proposal we are using 20 as a projected revenue increase
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I Page 2 of2
We are submitting a fee paid to the state of Florida of 12~0 as opposed to the 1000 paid by present VSP We believe this to be an upper level maximum to gain the VSP award and still allow a reasonable profitable operation We would prefer a slightly lower percentage as possibly needed cushion to help overcome unpredictable circumstances Yet we are still submitting the 1230 factor based on the following anticipations
1 1l1e already implemented increase in Shell Island Shuttle services 2 We believe considerable improvements resulting in increased sales of food items due to
up scaled service equipment and more efficient access We also propose additional menu items and improved promotions in the food service area
3 Improved more efficient equipment should reduce waiting time at concessions4 There are concession layouts and promotional plans to be implemented that should also
increase the food concession gross sales 5 A BIG KEY FACTOR is employee placement training and management This should
reduce the personnel cost to gross we believe in most aspects of the park We will rely heavily on increased training and cross training to better utilize the work force
6 We also have the utmost confidence in our management staff and projected TEAM approach to operations
7 We find merchandizing and display of sundries to be lacking We will change the basis of merchandizing by the establishment of expected sales per square foot of shelf space wall display space and floor space required by freestanding displays
8 Some rearrangement of merchandizing floor plans should provide a more attractive and improved flow ofvisitor observation of sale merchandise
9 We will work with vendors who should provide better newer and more modern display units signage and promotional materials
10 We will discover and pursue certain co-op promotions and advertising through present or newly selected vendors
11 We will solicit more consignment merchandise with some end ofseason return privileges to be in conjunction with fully stock stores and yet reduce carryover
12 We will close out all dated or slow moving inventory and replace with the latest fastershyselling products
13 We plan to utilize the trailer space as a stock storage and warehouse facility and draw form it frequently so that a wider variety of merchandise can be carried at point of sale locations
14 Square footage is a premium merchandise exposure to visitors for service sales and purchases can be more varied In store excess stock or over stock will be eliminated
15 We will propose an attractive concession vessel with heads for male and female and a concession outlet Said unit will be capable of carrying kayaks canoes umbrellas for rent to Shell Island and shall be anchored at shoreline during the day to provide sanitation facilities Rentals lotions canoes as well as ice snacks and other needs for Shell Island visitors would be welcomed It would become another point of sale and visitor service not presently offered
16 We wish to eliminate non-essential employee parking from lots to provide for needed visitor space we are open to discussion how best to accomplish this There is no reason 25 or 30 cars should occupy spaces needed by visitors
17 There are other suggestions and proposals we wish to discuss at the appropriate time should we be short-listed for more in depth discussions and fmal negotiations

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We

since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel

Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist
Respectfully submitted

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan Page 1 of2
A Basis for Determining Gross Receipts and Revenues
We have reviewed park attendance records ie attachment B page 4 of 13 We observe the decline in attendance for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and another decline for fiscal year 2003-2004 ie 593986 visitors to 559696 visitors for fiscal year 2003-2004 Reasons for th e decline are not clear other than wetter and drier weather conditions Even so we expect with our promotional and advertising and other plans that visitor levels should move upward again for fiscal year 2006-2007
I have based judgment for determining 2006 gross receipts and revenues by an increase factor of20 We suspect an increase in Florida tourism advertising stressing recovery from hurricanes Ivan and Dennis andhopefully do not expect four Florida Hurricanes in 2006 at least not in mid-peak season months
Even so I am cautious and perplexed by general income figures verbally stated by present VSP of income and profits that do not seem to correlate to historical percentages of attendance and wish to make a further analysis of this apparent discrepancy
Still for the purposes of this proposal we are using 20 as a projected revenue increase
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I Page 2 of2
We are submitting a fee paid to the state of Florida of 12~0 as opposed to the 1000 paid by present VSP We believe this to be an upper level maximum to gain the VSP award and still allow a reasonable profitable operation We would prefer a slightly lower percentage as possibly needed cushion to help overcome unpredictable circumstances Yet we are still submitting the 1230 factor based on the following anticipations
1 1l1e already implemented increase in Shell Island Shuttle services 2 We believe considerable improvements resulting in increased sales of food items due to
up scaled service equipment and more efficient access We also propose additional menu items and improved promotions in the food service area
3 Improved more efficient equipment should reduce waiting time at concessions4 There are concession layouts and promotional plans to be implemented that should also
increase the food concession gross sales 5 A BIG KEY FACTOR is employee placement training and management This should
reduce the personnel cost to gross we believe in most aspects of the park We will rely heavily on increased training and cross training to better utilize the work force
6 We also have the utmost confidence in our management staff and projected TEAM approach to operations
7 We find merchandizing and display of sundries to be lacking We will change the basis of merchandizing by the establishment of expected sales per square foot of shelf space wall display space and floor space required by freestanding displays
8 Some rearrangement of merchandizing floor plans should provide a more attractive and improved flow ofvisitor observation of sale merchandise
9 We will work with vendors who should provide better newer and more modern display units signage and promotional materials
10 We will discover and pursue certain co-op promotions and advertising through present or newly selected vendors
11 We will solicit more consignment merchandise with some end ofseason return privileges to be in conjunction with fully stock stores and yet reduce carryover
12 We will close out all dated or slow moving inventory and replace with the latest fastershyselling products
13 We plan to utilize the trailer space as a stock storage and warehouse facility and draw form it frequently so that a wider variety of merchandise can be carried at point of sale locations
14 Square footage is a premium merchandise exposure to visitors for service sales and purchases can be more varied In store excess stock or over stock will be eliminated
15 We will propose an attractive concession vessel with heads for male and female and a concession outlet Said unit will be capable of carrying kayaks canoes umbrellas for rent to Shell Island and shall be anchored at shoreline during the day to provide sanitation facilities Rentals lotions canoes as well as ice snacks and other needs for Shell Island visitors would be welcomed It would become another point of sale and visitor service not presently offered
16 We wish to eliminate non-essential employee parking from lots to provide for needed visitor space we are open to discussion how best to accomplish this There is no reason 25 or 30 cars should occupy spaces needed by visitors
17 There are other suggestions and proposals we wish to discuss at the appropriate time should we be short-listed for more in depth discussions and fmal negotiations

I would like to propose future discussion with Park Management for another laundry facility within the campground area this VSP recognizes the need for additional facilities for visitors convenience
The existing map that is provided to everyone who cornes into the State Park is a great marketing tool that will continue to be offered to the Park by this VSP We agree with providing patrons with educational tools that would offer a printed brochure of proper environmental stewardship of St Andrews State Park In regards to but not limited to plant life sand dunes alligators sea turtles etc and will welcome Park Management input and desires for this brochure for a customized St Andrews State Park Brochure

D Visitor services facilities and equipment to be utilized to provide the goods and services described above The goal of this potential VSP is to provide visitors with as many conveniences for their stay with us here at St Andrews State Park for an overall quality most relaxing experience We have agreed to purchase all existing equipment from the current VSP (See Attachment A) to provide the same conveniences and some additional conveniences to patrons at St Andrews State Park Below you will find our plan to use each of these items and the location of the items or services within the St Andrews State Park
The first items addressed in our plan are the two Shuttle Boats Due to the seasonal profitability time frame for this service we propose the following schedule of operation
July 1 to October 1 We will operate one shuttle boat only on Sunday Monday Friday and Saturday from 900 am until 500 pm Two shutttes boats will operate on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 900 am until 500 pm passed o erating reports will support that these 3 days are the most visited days to Shell Island Variations of his schedule would only occur when visitor count reflected the need for fewer trips made to and from the island The schedule for operating one shuttle boat will pick up every 30 minutes On the days thit two shuttle boats are operating the pick up time will be every 15 minutes working opposite of the other boat one on shore at the island while the second shuttle will be at the loading doc provided ir side the state park located just to the left of the primary boat launch area Tickets will be sold for tne service from the Pier Store location and this location will open at 800 am to begin the ticket sale until last boat has delivered all island visitors back to the Pier Store Ticket price for shuttle trip ill be $1150 (over Age 12) and we will also offer at $1895 adult and $1295 for child a snorkeling package which will include the shuttle trip mask snorkel fins and dive flag We will offer to the public a discount coupon in the amount of $100 off the adult shuttle trip ticket at regular price of $1110 and $200 off the adult snorkel package at regular price of $1895 through 3 methods 2 will e offered in two separate local publications that distributes to tourist various discounts for many di erent activities in the Panama City Beach area and we will offer a $200 of discount coupon from the St Andrews State Park web site This location will also offer a kayak package at $3500 for a single and $4500 for a tandem kayak which includes the shuttle trip ticket Visitors will purchase their package and our staff will arrange for equipment to be available for their enjoyment once they arrive at the island The purchase of the conventional bus and trolley from the current VSP will be used to provide a transportation service for the convenience of patrons that will travel from the Pier Store location to the shuttle boat departure location With a new purchase by this VSP of an appropriate transportation vehicle an open-air design would be recommended enabling this VSP to provide additional transportation to assist St Andrews State Park with our parking problem at the Jetty Area Visitors will be able to park at the Pier Store parking and be transported to the Jetty Store Area on a 30-minute schedule A plan to schedule transportation to and from condominiums and hotels will also be considered with advice and agreement with the State Park officials

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests

since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing

Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan Page 1 of2
A Basis for Determining Gross Receipts and Revenues
We have reviewed park attendance records ie attachment B page 4 of 13 We observe the decline in attendance for Fiscal Year 2002-2003 and another decline for fiscal year 2003-2004 ie 593986 visitors to 559696 visitors for fiscal year 2003-2004 Reasons for th e decline are not clear other than wetter and drier weather conditions Even so we expect with our promotional and advertising and other plans that visitor levels should move upward again for fiscal year 2006-2007
I have based judgment for determining 2006 gross receipts and revenues by an increase factor of20 We suspect an increase in Florida tourism advertising stressing recovery from hurricanes Ivan and Dennis andhopefully do not expect four Florida Hurricanes in 2006 at least not in mid-peak season months
Even so I am cautious and perplexed by general income figures verbally stated by present VSP of income and profits that do not seem to correlate to historical percentages of attendance and wish to make a further analysis of this apparent discrepancy
Still for the purposes of this proposal we are using 20 as a projected revenue increase
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I Page 2 of2
We are submitting a fee paid to the state of Florida of 12~0 as opposed to the 1000 paid by present VSP We believe this to be an upper level maximum to gain the VSP award and still allow a reasonable profitable operation We would prefer a slightly lower percentage as possibly needed cushion to help overcome unpredictable circumstances Yet we are still submitting the 1230 factor based on the following anticipations
1 1l1e already implemented increase in Shell Island Shuttle services 2 We believe considerable improvements resulting in increased sales of food items due to
up scaled service equipment and more efficient access We also propose additional menu items and improved promotions in the food service area
3 Improved more efficient equipment should reduce waiting time at concessions4 There are concession layouts and promotional plans to be implemented that should also
increase the food concession gross sales 5 A BIG KEY FACTOR is employee placement training and management This should
reduce the personnel cost to gross we believe in most aspects of the park We will rely heavily on increased training and cross training to better utilize the work force
6 We also have the utmost confidence in our management staff and projected TEAM approach to operations
7 We find merchandizing and display of sundries to be lacking We will change the basis of merchandizing by the establishment of expected sales per square foot of shelf space wall display space and floor space required by freestanding displays
8 Some rearrangement of merchandizing floor plans should provide a more attractive and improved flow ofvisitor observation of sale merchandise
9 We will work with vendors who should provide better newer and more modern display units signage and promotional materials
10 We will discover and pursue certain co-op promotions and advertising through present or newly selected vendors
11 We will solicit more consignment merchandise with some end ofseason return privileges to be in conjunction with fully stock stores and yet reduce carryover
12 We will close out all dated or slow moving inventory and replace with the latest fastershyselling products
13 We plan to utilize the trailer space as a stock storage and warehouse facility and draw form it frequently so that a wider variety of merchandise can be carried at point of sale locations
14 Square footage is a premium merchandise exposure to visitors for service sales and purchases can be more varied In store excess stock or over stock will be eliminated
15 We will propose an attractive concession vessel with heads for male and female and a concession outlet Said unit will be capable of carrying kayaks canoes umbrellas for rent to Shell Island and shall be anchored at shoreline during the day to provide sanitation facilities Rentals lotions canoes as well as ice snacks and other needs for Shell Island visitors would be welcomed It would become another point of sale and visitor service not presently offered
16 We wish to eliminate non-essential employee parking from lots to provide for needed visitor space we are open to discussion how best to accomplish this There is no reason 25 or 30 cars should occupy spaces needed by visitors
17 There are other suggestions and proposals we wish to discuss at the appropriate time should we be short-listed for more in depth discussions and fmal negotiations

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests

since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

We are submitting a fee paid to the state of Florida of 12~0 as opposed to the 1000 paid by present VSP We believe this to be an upper level maximum to gain the VSP award and still allow a reasonable profitable operation We would prefer a slightly lower percentage as possibly needed cushion to help overcome unpredictable circumstances Yet we are still submitting the 1230 factor based on the following anticipations
1 1l1e already implemented increase in Shell Island Shuttle services 2 We believe considerable improvements resulting in increased sales of food items due to
up scaled service equipment and more efficient access We also propose additional menu items and improved promotions in the food service area
3 Improved more efficient equipment should reduce waiting time at concessions4 There are concession layouts and promotional plans to be implemented that should also
increase the food concession gross sales 5 A BIG KEY FACTOR is employee placement training and management This should
reduce the personnel cost to gross we believe in most aspects of the park We will rely heavily on increased training and cross training to better utilize the work force
6 We also have the utmost confidence in our management staff and projected TEAM approach to operations
7 We find merchandizing and display of sundries to be lacking We will change the basis of merchandizing by the establishment of expected sales per square foot of shelf space wall display space and floor space required by freestanding displays
8 Some rearrangement of merchandizing floor plans should provide a more attractive and improved flow ofvisitor observation of sale merchandise
9 We will work with vendors who should provide better newer and more modern display units signage and promotional materials
10 We will discover and pursue certain co-op promotions and advertising through present or newly selected vendors
11 We will solicit more consignment merchandise with some end ofseason return privileges to be in conjunction with fully stock stores and yet reduce carryover
12 We will close out all dated or slow moving inventory and replace with the latest fastershyselling products
13 We plan to utilize the trailer space as a stock storage and warehouse facility and draw form it frequently so that a wider variety of merchandise can be carried at point of sale locations
14 Square footage is a premium merchandise exposure to visitors for service sales and purchases can be more varied In store excess stock or over stock will be eliminated
15 We will propose an attractive concession vessel with heads for male and female and a concession outlet Said unit will be capable of carrying kayaks canoes umbrellas for rent to Shell Island and shall be anchored at shoreline during the day to provide sanitation facilities Rentals lotions canoes as well as ice snacks and other needs for Shell Island visitors would be welcomed It would become another point of sale and visitor service not presently offered
16 We wish to eliminate non-essential employee parking from lots to provide for needed visitor space we are open to discussion how best to accomplish this There is no reason 25 or 30 cars should occupy spaces needed by visitors
17 There are other suggestions and proposals we wish to discuss at the appropriate time should we be short-listed for more in depth discussions and fmal negotiations

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan New FacilitiesEquipment Proposed
Page 1 of 2
With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee

F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands

Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Don Croft President of Paragon of Florida has spoken at length with me concerning leasing a restaurant in the St Andrews State Park It is my understanding that should Paragon be award the Visitor Service Center contract that they have proposed adding an all purpose restaurant to the park
I am very much interested in leasing and operating this restaurant under my corporation Garcia Enterprises Inc With this tentative agreement it is understood that Paragon of Florida would construct the restaurant and Garcia Enterprises would only be leasing and operating it It is also known that it would be at least eighteen months after the awarding of the contract for Visitor Services at St Andrews Park before construction of the restaurant could begin

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests

since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan New FacilitiesEquipment Proposed
Page 1 of 2
With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue
Location Location Location Restaurant Description Scope and Style Analysis of Seasonal Feasibility Project Analysis The Target Market Customer Appeal Products amp Related Services Building Footprint - Accessability - View EngineeringArchitecture Landmark Feasibility Uniqueness as Attraction The Competition Multiple Use Considerations Marketing Plan Menu amp Sales Operations-Parking-Operational Hours Management amp Organization Long-term Development amp Exit Plan Total Cost ofProject Financial Data amp Projection Construction Requirements
2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I
I
I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests

7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan New FacilitiesEquipment Proposed
Page 1 of 2
With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue
Location Location Location Restaurant Description Scope and Style Analysis of Seasonal Feasibility Project Analysis The Target Market Customer Appeal Products amp Related Services Building Footprint - Accessability - View EngineeringArchitecture Landmark Feasibility Uniqueness as Attraction The Competition Multiple Use Considerations Marketing Plan Menu amp Sales Operations-Parking-Operational Hours Management amp Organization Long-term Development amp Exit Plan Total Cost ofProject Financial Data amp Projection Construction Requirements
2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I
I
I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands

Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I
Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests

7 We

since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

D Visitor services facilities and equipment to be utilized to provide the goods and services described above The goal of this potential VSP is to provide visitors with as many conveniences for their stay with us here at St Andrews State Park for an overall quality most relaxing experience We have agreed to purchase all existing equipment from the current VSP (See Attachment A) to provide the same conveniences and some additional conveniences to patrons at St Andrews State Park Below you will find our plan to use each of these items and the location of the items or services within the St Andrews State Park
The first items addressed in our plan are the two Shuttle Boats Due to the seasonal profitability time frame for this service we propose the following schedule of operation
July 1 to October 1 We will operate one shuttle boat only on Sunday Monday Friday and Saturday from 900 am until 500 pm Two shutttes boats will operate on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 900 am until 500 pm passed o erating reports will support that these 3 days are the most visited days to Shell Island Variations of his schedule would only occur when visitor count reflected the need for fewer trips made to and from the island The schedule for operating one shuttle boat will pick up every 30 minutes On the days thit two shuttle boats are operating the pick up time will be every 15 minutes working opposite of the other boat one on shore at the island while the second shuttle will be at the loading doc provided ir side the state park located just to the left of the primary boat launch area Tickets will be sold for tne service from the Pier Store location and this location will open at 800 am to begin the ticket sale until last boat has delivered all island visitors back to the Pier Store Ticket price for shuttle trip ill be $1150 (over Age 12) and we will also offer at $1895 adult and $1295 for child a snorkeling package which will include the shuttle trip mask snorkel fins and dive flag We will offer to the public a discount coupon in the amount of $100 off the adult shuttle trip ticket at regular price of $1110 and $200 off the adult snorkel package at regular price of $1895 through 3 methods 2 will e offered in two separate local publications that distributes to tourist various discounts for many di erent activities in the Panama City Beach area and we will offer a $200 of discount coupon from the St Andrews State Park web site This location will also offer a kayak package at $3500 for a single and $4500 for a tandem kayak which includes the shuttle trip ticket Visitors will purchase their package and our staff will arrange for equipment to be available for their enjoyment once they arrive at the island The purchase of the conventional bus and trolley from the current VSP will be used to provide a transportation service for the convenience of patrons that will travel from the Pier Store location to the shuttle boat departure location With a new purchase by this VSP of an appropriate transportation vehicle an open-air design would be recommended enabling this VSP to provide additional transportation to assist St Andrews State Park with our parking problem at the Jetty Area Visitors will be able to park at the Pier Store parking and be transported to the Jetty Store Area on a 30-minute schedule A plan to schedule transportation to and from condominiums and hotels will also be considered with advice and agreement with the State Park officials

Page 1 of 2
With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

D Visitor services facilities and equipment to be utilized to provide the goods and services described above The goal of this potential VSP is to provide visitors with as many conveniences for their stay with us here at St Andrews State Park for an overall quality most relaxing experience We have agreed to purchase all existing equipment from the current VSP (See Attachment A) to provide the same conveniences and some additional conveniences to patrons at St Andrews State Park Below you will find our plan to use each of these items and the location of the items or services within the St Andrews State Park
The first items addressed in our plan are the two Shuttle Boats Due to the seasonal profitability time frame for this service we propose the following schedule of operation
July 1 to October 1 We will operate one shuttle boat only on Sunday Monday Friday and Saturday from 900 am until 500 pm Two shutttes boats will operate on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 900 am until 500 pm passed o erating reports will support that these 3 days are the most visited days to Shell Island Variations of his schedule would only occur when visitor count reflected the need for fewer trips made to and from the island The schedule for operating one shuttle boat will pick up every 30 minutes On the days thit two shuttle boats are operating the pick up time will be every 15 minutes working opposite of the other boat one on shore at the island while the second shuttle will be at the loading doc provided ir side the state park located just to the left of the primary boat launch area Tickets will be sold for tne service from the Pier Store location and this location will open at 800 am to begin the ticket sale until last boat has delivered all island visitors back to the Pier Store Ticket price for shuttle trip ill be $1150 (over Age 12) and we will also offer at $1895 adult and $1295 for child a snorkeling package which will include the shuttle trip mask snorkel fins and dive flag We will offer to the public a discount coupon in the amount of $100 off the adult shuttle trip ticket at regular price of $1110 and $200 off the adult snorkel package at regular price of $1895 through 3 methods 2 will e offered in two separate local publications that distributes to tourist various discounts for many di erent activities in the Panama City Beach area and we will offer a $200 of discount coupon from the St Andrews State Park web site This location will also offer a kayak package at $3500 for a single and $4500 for a tandem kayak which includes the shuttle trip ticket Visitors will purchase their package and our staff will arrange for equipment to be available for their enjoyment once they arrive at the island The purchase of the conventional bus and trolley from the current VSP will be used to provide a transportation service for the convenience of patrons that will travel from the Pier Store location to the shuttle boat departure location With a new purchase by this VSP of an appropriate transportation vehicle an open-air design would be recommended enabling this VSP to provide additional transportation to assist St Andrews State Park with our parking problem at the Jetty Area Visitors will be able to park at the Pier Store parking and be transported to the Jetty Store Area on a 30-minute schedule A plan to schedule transportation to and from condominiums and hotels will also be considered with advice and agreement with the State Park officials

Business Plan New FacilitiesEquipment Proposed

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I
Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan New FacilitiesEquipment Proposed

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I I I

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints

I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We

since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I
Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan New FacilitiesEquipment Proposed
Page 1 of 2
With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue
Location Location Location Restaurant Description Scope and Style Analysis of Seasonal Feasibility Project Analysis The Target Market Customer Appeal Products amp Related Services Building Footprint - Accessability - View EngineeringArchitecture Landmark Feasibility Uniqueness as Attraction The Competition Multiple Use Considerations Marketing Plan Menu amp Sales Operations-Parking-Operational Hours Management amp Organization Long-term Development amp Exit Plan Total Cost ofProject Financial Data amp Projection Construction Requirements
2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I
I
I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan New FacilitiesEquipment Proposed
Page 1 of 2
With your concurrence we propose the following
1 A full service restaurant serving beverages as required and deemed suitable We believe it would be less than prudent to rush this in fiscal year 2005-2006 We believe a reasonable time frame would be for year 2007 operation We propose a complete analysis of need type-menu building design construction cost and probable operator I have various and definite ideas about the venture We will need to do financial projections then negotiations with you to allow a lease and contract ofduration to secure the investment Attached are the considerations we wish to address (see page 2) It is not our intention to delay the project We do however wish to be deliberative and thorough and develop a successful
wi[ project for the park the public and ourselves
We suggest further discussion all entities involved However we are ready to begin serious considerations We do no believe as has been suggested this project can be done for 329000 to 400000 We thin possibly 550000 to 700000 is more likely cost
Be l ow are some cons1 middotd erations middot we Ienv1s1on middot middot w1 middot11 pursue

2 Additional Proposal As previously mentioned in foregoing sections we believe a multi-purpose concession barge should be built for Shell Island It would have to be custom built for intended purpose It should contain bathroom facilities wholding tanks a concession cooking area and be constructed to also carry the canoes and kayaks and compact lounges to the island The barge would go each morning anchor near shore provide guest services expected and return each evening We believe this would be a great addition to the ShellIsland services and eliminate the visitor complaints
I I I I I I I I I I I I shy
I I I I
I
I I 3 We believe it is not in the best interest of the park or us to allow 25 or 30 parking spaces
to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests

7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Business Plan Page 1 of 2
E Paragon of Florida Basic BusinessPersonnel Management Policies
Overview
Business and personnel management will be consistent with the prior practices of the current VSP Mr Samuel (Bo) Fitzsimmons (corporate vice president of the current VSP at St Andrews) will assist Paragon with its transition to managing the State Park should Paragon be selected for contract award Records show that the prior business practices and management under Mr Fitzsimmons direction have been profitable We do not contemplate any substantial changes to these management practices during the first year Nonetheless below are some of Paragons fundamental personnel practices
Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities
Training specific to each assigned job description Cross-training to do more than one job for versatility and flexibility in staffing will be provided to qualified personnel
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I
Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands

I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

to be occupied all day be employees depriving guest visitors ofopportunities to enjoy the park Therefore we suggest we concurrently develop a plan for off site parking for position employees and transport them via trolley or bus to their workstation
4 We propose if possible to replace the trolley and bus with a tram or multiple carriage type transport pulled by an engine-vehicle more like is seen in other operations that also transport from parking lots to destinations We would like to ~ss~s possibility
5 The far east end of Shell Island is leaded with thousands of shells-very shallow water there to reach the beach However a grand attraction would be a one a day excursion to the area in watercraft that can accommodate the 18 12 and 6 water level I have been there and it is exciting and would be a talked about adventure for our guests
6 We request ~i_scussions of these improvements
7 We
-propose --shy
since we have a coat1 on staff as assistant manager to provide an exercise on the beach program It would e for campers employees and public Also we believe he could develop or organize tw daily volleyball games Also demonstrate sand castle building and other activities for the younger people Also perhaps an early morning or late afternoon trail hike

Employee Recruitment
Paragon will post employment notices (i e help wanted ads) during the St Andrews off-season at local and nearby colleges for summer employment Paragon will seek the greatest diversity possible for its staff To the extent necessary Paragon will also utilize local newspaper help wanted ads to fully staff the park
Drug Testing
Boat captains and mates will be tested for illicit drug use as required by United States Coast Guard laws and regulations All remaining personnel wtll be tested for drugs as reasonable suspicion necessitates Any employee testing positive for drug use will be fired
Training
Paragon will have as a minimum a one-day training program for all personnel that will work at St Andrews State Park This training shall include but not be limited to the following criteria
Basic job requirements Ability to interact favorably with park visitors Familiarity with park history including the construction of the jetties and formation of the ships channel Preservation of the park environment (ie foliage animal life waterways and the primitive nature of St Andrews) The importance ofbarrier Shell Island Safety (eg general safety and water safety) Alertness and observation of visitors safety and needs
This will include watchfulness for suspicious activities

Page 2 of 2
Nondiscrimination
Paragon will seek to employee a balanced diverse workforce which will mirror the visitor community served Paragon will hire US citizens and yet these individuals will reflect diversity to provide an international flavor in the makeup of the staff Paragon will fully comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race color religion sex and national origin Paragon will also fully comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 which adds age disability and marital status to the protected classes
Uniforms
Paragon will provide employees with distinctive shirts identifying them as Paragon Guest Service Personnel We will also propose certain guidelines as to other dress wear while on duty at the park These guidelines will reflect personnel uniformity and identity
We will address safety concerns as to loose clothing footwear etc For example we propose not to allow flip-flops cut-offs short shorts or any articles that carry messages of a vulgar or inappropriate nature - we prefer our personnel to not only be the best but to also look their best Inappropriate (eg vulgar or defamatory) language will be prohibited as well We do understand that there will be certain dress requirements for some positions and we will be considerate and deliberative concerning these factors We hope you agree with us
Photo name badges for security and identification are being considered for each employee
We are considering lockers for all personnel
Parking for Paragon employees
If possible we would like to propose that employees park in an area other than those spaces needed by park guests Ifyou agree we propose to shuttle our employees to their work areas We are open to discuss this matter

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands

Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist
Respectfully submitted

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan Proposed Modifications to Meet Visitor Services Needs
Page 1 of 1
1 A full-services restaurant
2 Shell Island concession and facilities vessel
3 Relocate parking space for employees
4 Replace trolley and bus with more appropriate tram-train for comfort efficiency and convenience 1iOTE (Also Cooler) Could also serve as apark tour vehicle for a nature appreciation tour of the park
5 Far east Shell Island tour J
6 Exercise and organized beach activities
Note Details of above suggestions can be reviewed on Business Plan Item 15 of this proposal

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands

Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Busine$S Plan Page 1 of 2
F Schedule of Operations
Paragon proposes the following schedule rationale and description to support our proposed operations We believe it to be consistent with prior operations and will meet all reasonable visitor expectations
Hours Month Status
8am - 6pm July All facilities working and fully staffed at peak of year
8am - 6pm August Same as July
9am - 5pm September Time change o Daylight Savings Time - hours reflect change with qnset of shorter days etc Business is strongest on t abor Day and then falls off rapidly as school year begins A general slow down ofwork begins and some staff leaves
9am - 5pm October Business still in decline with more seasonal lay-offs as Park ramps down after peak season has ended
1Oam - 4pm November Repairs maintenance storage preparations to close for winter
December Closed until reopen for 2007 season
January Closed
lOam - 4pm February Begin ramping up - Maintenance checks inventory needs etc Also procurement and employee interviews
1Oam - 4pm March Interviews employee assignments scheduling purchasing placement ofadvertising promotional ideas Make ready for opening and begin opening demand areas
lOam - 4pm April Restocking of all facilities continued interviews and hiring dress-up facilities merchandising and displays
9am-5pm May All facilities open and staffed
8am - 6pm June Attendance increasing all full services available and staffed Begin hiring part time staff as season demands
I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
I I Page 2 of 2
Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist
Respectfully submitted

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure
Respectfully submitted

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Note to committee Your RFP states that the Park is open 365 days per year Does this apply to Park VSP as well The Proposal outline here is based upon actual past operational history provided by prior VSP operators We are of the understanding that the schedule we have given above has in reality been the practice Ifwe are in error we need to know and of course we will modify our proposal accordingly Our understanding is that there are no visitors to warrant operations in December or January We welcome and anticipate the opportunity to clarify our understanding during oral discussions
We understand there are variances in operations of each Visitor Service Center at St Andrews Park as dictated by demand For example the Jetty Service Center stays open longer then the Park Camp Store stays open the longest We will accommodate the Public and Visitor demand for service should such demand exist

Business Plan Handling Varied ServicesGoods
Page 1 of 1
It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

It is evident that due to Park attendance fluctuations which seem to change not only by month but also by week and even days (fo r example Tuesday Wednesday Thursday amp Friday are busier than Saturday Sunday and Monday for the Shuttle - yet Saturday and Sunday are more busy for the Jetty Service Center) these we believe are a part of thistype of business and must be accepted The key seems to be in the providers ability to have cross-trained multi-tasked oriented personnel who can shift on short notice from a light to a heavy demand position We recognize the challenge We believe with good people this can be best handled by fairness to all employees and their recognition of need to accommodate factors beyond our control Good scheduling with a keen sense of adaptability recognition is the best way to provide for these varied needs
Inventory control and transfer of goods to needed areas while still maintaining adequate records simply requires a well understood standard order of procedure

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Business Plan Seasonal Considerations
Page 1 of 1
We believe that our response to Item 11 of the Business Plan provides our good insight into the seasonal aspects of the business
I would add though that seasonal considerations do influence purchasing and inventory as well as our employment base and of course duration of some services offered Weather temperature economics attendance are all important factors in our projections and annual expectations It is clear that management must be on their toes well informed and daily vigilant in all areas of park operations We believe with our team and experience we can fill those needs and provide the best possible visitor experience for St Andrews Park Guest Our aim is that they go home and tell their friends and neighbors to visit with us the following year We allso believe a congenial cooperative work relationship with other park personnel to be necessary We hope all involved share the same sprit and goals

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Don Croft President of Paragon of Florida has spoken at length with me concerning leasing a restaurant in the St Andrews State Park It is my understanding that should Paragon be award the Visitor Service Center contract that they have proposed adding an all purpose restaurant to the park
I am very much interested in leasing and operating this restaurant under my corporation Garcia Enterprises Inc With this tentative agreement it is understood that Paragon of Florida would construct the restaurant and Garcia Enterprises would only be leasing and operating it It is also known that it would be at least eighteen months after the awarding of the contract for Visitor Services at St Andrews Park before construction of the restaurant could begin

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl

Subject RE Comments for meeting
Here are a few questions or comments 1 Concession Vessel for Shell Island will it be for this 06 season 2 If the two shuttle boatsconcession vessel and the sv~odspeed are all attached to the vsps dock will
there be enough room 3 The 10 X 24 cover canopy is this permanent or seasonrl at the shuttle dock 4 These dress up the park flags The DEP has a flag warping system If the VSP would like to improve on
our system fine But to many flags will confuse the visitpr 5 A salt water aquarium inside of a building will decay the building from the inside out 6 The concession vessel is a much better idea than a pefmanent structure on the island So far everything
built over on the island has been burned down or just diestroyed Carl
