The Atlantic Highlands Harbor Commission has set October 31 as the date when all requests for a proposed use of the former Shore Casino restaurant and catering facility are to be received for review.
The RFP, which is posted on the borough’s official website ahnj.com under Harbor bids (Direct Link Below), also indicates the bids are to be submitted to the Harbor Commission office at the yacht Harbor by noon on October 31, and will be opened at Borough Hall on First Avenue at 1 p.m.
Bids will then be reviewed during November and decided on December 9 by the lease committee comprised of Harbor Commissioners Michael Curry and James Krauss.
The execution date for the five-year bid lease to begin and the commencement date for beginning operations of catering or events facility are both to be decided once the bid is awarded.
While the bid indicates it is for the 20,500 square-foot premises which have been the Shore Casino for more than half a century, it lists as amenities an AV system, place for storing garbage and parking, though it does not indicate how many parking spaces would be included. A recent temporary lease of parking spaces in the busy harbor enabled the leasee to close off the area near the tennis courts though that is not specifically spelled out in this newest bid.
Although the governing body took no formal action on the disposition of the lease with the Shore Casino, the RFP for the new tenant specifies the Mayor and Council has the right to reject all bids should the top bidder not be accepted.
The proposal is for a five-year term for the leases with the option to renew by mutual consent of the Commission and the lease.
