The next page explains why a Request for Proposal is not being used. The Request for Qualifications is designed to avoid
"unnecessarily limit(ing) the number and quality of teams responding...The City seeks the most qualified, most enthusiastic, most committed development team, and will, instead, use this RFQ process to select that team as the Developer of Record..."
In the agreement that will be negotiated after the Developer of Record is selected,
"Issues of ownership, control, timing, financial interest, and return on investment will be documented in the development agreement."
The rest of the page is devoted to outlining what Crystal Lake's city government wants to be completed in the first phase of the Vulcan Lakes Center development:
A public beach area and shore protection
A public shelter/cabana/concessions facility
Small boat marina, fishing piers, and several public overlooks
A unifying trail system
Site circulation with access to US 14, Pingree Road and Main Street
Market driven uses compatible with the site are most likely to include:
Active Recreation facilities
High quality restaurants and entertainment uses
Other compatible uses designed to maximize site views, such as high-quality housing, hotel, conference, banquet centers, etc.
The City says it wants the developer to construct the public improvements, which will be reimbursed with TIF money. (Click to enlarge image.)
