> The Hudson River Park Trust (the "Trust"), a public benefit corporation
> in the State of New York and consisting of a partnership between the
> State and City of New York, is seeking proposals from professional
> organizations or established clubs or not-for-profits for the operation
> of a non-motorized public boathouse at Pier 96 in Hudson River Park (the
> "Park") in New York, New York. Located in Manhattan on Pier 96 at 56th
> Street at the Hudson River within a portion of Hudson River Park known
> as "Clinton Cove," the Pier 96 Boathouse and its associated boat access
> areas are new facilities with direct access to the Hudson River.
> 
> 
> 
> The new structure offers many possibilities for a non-motorized boating
> facility and possible concession. While the Trust's primary purpose in
> constructing this boathouse is to provide the public with safe, free or
> low-cost opportunities to experience non-motorized boating on the Hudson
> River, we recognize that in order to meet the operating standards
> articulated in the RFP, the Licensee may need to include a
> revenue-generating component, referred to throughout this document as a
> "concession," as part of the boathouse. Among the possible
> revenue-generating ideas that the Trust will consider are: dues for club
> members; fees for storage of  kayaks, canoes and other non-motorized
> boats; rental and limited retail sales of canoes, kayaks and other
> non-motorized boats and related boating supplies; guided boating tours;
> boating lessons; limited fundraising activities; and environmental
> interpretation programs.

> 
> Desired boathouse operations should include but are not limited to
> provision of public access for launching & landing a variety of
> hand-launched craft during regularly scheduled hours, a low-cost or free
> community boating component, and additional programming serving a
> diverse range of users. The successful party ("Licensee") will be
> responsible for operation of the boathouse in accordance with the terms
> and conditions set forth in this Request for Proposals ("RFP") and the
> License to be subsequently issued by the Trust.

I did not feel this violated the lists non-commercial rules.  If people
differ
