More on Docks
40%- 50% of our docks are already
reserved
Alum Creek Powerboat Club,
ACPC, has worked diligently with the State for the past five years to build
docks at the Alum Creek State Park. The proposed location for this project is
at the New Galena Ramp. The project includes 100 Dock Parcels (DP) that will be
open to the public. The State of Ohio has notified ACPC that a (RFP) Request
for Proposal will be issued in the first quarter of 2010 for a Concessionaire to
build and operate a new
Marina. ACPC intends to participate in the bid process in
an attempt to become the Concessionaire for the new
Marina .
ACPC must be in a position
to fund this project and demonstrate to the State that we have the necessary
financial commitment. We must raise $ 600,000 (100 * $6,000) to construct the
facility by selling 100 (DP) Dock Parcels in the Marina at $6000 per DP. In
addition an annual maintenance fee of $900 will be required for each dock
parcel, which will assist in the completion of the facilities and amenities.
The total timeline for completion for the project is seven to eight years with
the docks being the first priority. The initial $500.00 fee will provide you a
reservation number that will be utilized in picking your DP. The DP will remain
yours pursuant to the restrictions presented in the RFP.
After your initial $500.00
reservation fee, the breakdown of the remainder of the money needed for your DP
is as follows.
An additional $2500.00 will
need to be paid by 5/1/10.
The remainder $3000.00 will
need to be paid by 7/1/10
The RFP will mandate what
information is required to properly complete the RFP. We will communicate to
everyone who has committed for a DP and detail how any funds will expended the
RFP. At that time a vote will occur to determine if we all elect to proceed with
this project.
Complete payment of
$6000.00 per DP must be received by 7/1/10 so that we can demonstrate to the
State of Ohio our ability to finance the construction of the project. ACPC will
retain a waiting list of those individuals who are interested in a DP in order
of $500.00 reservation fee. If the entire commitment of $6000.00 is not received
in full by 7/1/10,
we will refund what money has been received and go the first individual who has
their $500.00 reservation fee in for a DP.
We must obtain the
commitment from 100 at $6000.00 per DP before we can respond to the RFP. If
we’re unable to demonstrate the necessary funds, $600,000 we will not be in a
position to respond to the RFP. Without a commitment from 100 people,
the proposed
Marina at New Galena will
not become a reality.
This is our only chance to bring this dream to fruition. Please help us
take advantage of this great opportunity.
This is what you have
requested. The DP will be yours. You no longer have to hope you get a dock via
the State Lottery Dock System. It’s up to you to determine if we will have the
ability to construct an additional Marina at Alum Creek State Park.
It has been a Vision, now let’s make it
a Reality.
Frequently Ask Questions
Is the $500.00 at risk
money?
Currently the $500.00 is not
at risk money. Once we receive the RFP from the State, we will determine if
additional work must be completed in order to respond to the RFP, which could
include surveys that must be completed. For everyone who has put in $500.00 to
reserve a DP, we will communicate the expectations of the State and determine if
everyone is willing to put a portion of the $500 reservation fee at risk.
What happens to my dock if I
get out of boating or move out of the area?
ACPC will retain a waiting
list for the docks and ACPC will be the responsible party with identifying the
next person on the wait list and once the purchase of the DP by the new DP
holder, your pro rated money for the dock will be sent back to you.
Is this a lottery dock?
No, the DP will remain yours
for the timeframe outlined in the RFP.
Can I sell my dock?
ACPC will be responsible for
reassigning DP’s for individuals who are no longer in need of a dock.
Will the docks have
electric?
The plan for the docks does
include electric and it is part of the on-going plan. It is also based on the
dock parcels request and money available.
Do I have to be a member of
the Alum Creek Powerboat Club to have a dock?
No, however in the initial
stages of building the docks, the membership fees are necessary due to all the
expenditures associated with pursuing building “The Docks at New Galena.”
Bottom line you don’t have to be a member…however if we don’t get enough members
in the powerboat club we will not have money necessary to start the dock
project. No membership, no money, means no docks!
When will the docks be
built?
After demonstrating to the
State that we have 100 dock parcels committed for with the full amount in the
bank, construction could begin as soon as 2011.
What additional amenities
will be available with the docks?
Our current plan is to have
electric and water for the docks. There will also be restrooms available along
with green space for family picnics.
