571—14.6 (461A) Dispute resolution. Should a dispute arise between the concessionaire and the department as to the interpretation of contract stipulations or whether the concessionaire is performing satisfactorily, the initial step of resolving the dispute will be an informal meeting and discussion between the park ranger and the district parks supervisor or other department personnel in charge of the area and the concessionaire. If the matter cannot be resolved, the concessionaire or area personnel may request a meeting with parks bureau staff in the central office of the department. The bureau chief shall, if possible, resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of all parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved, the contract shall be terminated and the department may advertise for bids in accordance with this chapter. The requirements of Iowa Code section 17A.18(3) shall apply to any contract termination under the provisions of this paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall not be a bar to or prerequisite of the provisions of rule 571—14.7(461A).
