Gate Attendant Contracts

Gate Attendant Program

 

Gate attendants are an essential part of the Corps of Engineers recreational program.  These people are private individuals who work under contract for the Corps of Engineers.  Contracts at Town Bluff Project require a two-person team. 

Currently, the two camping parks at Town Bluff utilize two sets of attendants each, both sets on a 4 day on, 4 day off rotation.  These contracts run from 1 October to 30 September. As needs arise, volunteer hosts are used to assist the attendants and provide coverage at additional recreation areas.
