STATION FEES

Effective 1 March 2007: The Gump Station charges a 'flat daily fee' per person (researcher, professor, or student). The fee gives access to all shared facilities (subject to availability and according to Station usage policies). It includes usage of labs, internet, scuba, cars, and boats.

A day use fee is charged for users not housed at the Gump Station (non-residents)

A daily resident fee (self-catering) is charged for users staying in one of the Station's housing options:

  • Shared housing
    • Dorm - up to 3 people (of the same gender) per room = 1 x base rate.
  • Private housing
    • Waterfront bungalow = 2 x base rate. Private rooms (shared kitchen/bath), charged assuming a minimum of double occupancy (third person is charged an additional 1 x base rate)
    • Hillside studio = 2 x base rate. Private small bungalow with kitchen/bath, charged assuming a minimum of double occupancy (third person is charged an additional 1 x base rate)
    • Hillside bungalow = 4 x base rate. Private 2-bedroom bungalows charged assuming a minimum occupancy of 4 people (fifth person is charged an additional 1 x base rate).

Billing

Usage will be summarized each month and an invoice issued by email. Goods and services that are not covered by the flat fee (e.g., catering services, customs agent) are billed separately as 'pass through expenses'. Users requiring such goods and services must notify Hinano Teavai-Murphy in advance.  All invoices are issued by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research in Berkeley and this is where all payments must be sent. Payment options and instructions will be sent with your invoice. The Gump Station in Moorea does not issue invoices or accept any payments.  Please contact Christine Owen for futher information.

NOTE: The base rates are calculated to recover the full cost of operating the Gump Station. The University of California, however, subsidizes operations and thus most users are not charged the full cost (corporate) rate.  As many users have to plan their budgets over a multi-year period, the Gump Station strives to maintain stable rates, however, rates may change at any time. Any changes will be posted with as much notice as possible.
