DISCUSSION: On August 24, 2004 (M&C C-20233), Fort Worth City Council authorized staff to advertise a request for proposals from private companies to drill for natural gas under Eastside parkland, which is comprised of the Gateway, Quanah Parker, and Tandy Hills City parks. The total available acreage is 702.65 acres. A request for bid proposals (RFP) was advertised for three consecutive weeks in two daily publications: the Commercial Recorder, published on October 28, November 3, and November 11; and the Fort Worth Star Telegram, published on October 28, November 5, and November 11. The RFP was also advertised twice in the Fort Worth Business Press in the November 7-13 and November 21-27 issues. The following sealed bids were received and opened on December 2, 2004: Bidder Lease Bonus/Acre Total Lease Bonus % Royalty Dale Resources LLC $2,031.00 $1,427,082.00 25 Four Sevens Oil Company $1,151.00 $ 808,750.00 25 Frost Brothers Resources, LLLP $1,000.00 $ 702,650.00 25 The bids received were evaluated by staff and the City's mineral asset management consultant, JPMorgan Chase to determine the best overall bidder. In addition to the lease bonus rate and royalties paid to the City, the bidder's drilling plan, reputation, financial status, project team, and compliance history were also evaluated. On December 14, City staff and representatives from JPMorgan Chase met with representatives of each bidder to obtain additional information and clarification of each proposal. City staff and JPMorgan Chase determined, based upon the proposal content and follow-up interview, that the Dale Resources LLC bid is the overall best bid. In accordance with the Alternative Assets Agency Account Agreement between JPMorgan Chase and the City (City Secretary Contract 29698), JPMorgan Chase will serve as the depository of the lease bonus revenue until the City adopts a Gas Lease Revenue Policy. The recommendation to adopt this policy is scheduled to be brought before Council on January 11, 2004.
