Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 5/22/2007
DATE: Tuesday, May 22, 2007
LOG NAME: 30PRAIRIE DOG REFERENCE NO.: **L-14322
SUBJECT:
Approve Acceptance of Lease Agreement with Chesapeake Exploration Limited Partnership for
Natural Gas Drilling Under 39.56 Acres More or Less of City-Owned Properties Located in Tarrant
County, Texas, Known as the Prairie Dog Park
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the acceptance of a lease agreement for natural gas
drilling under 39.56 acres more or less of City-owned properties located in Tarrant County known as the
Prairie Dog Park to Chesapeake Exploration Limited Partnership for a two-year term.
DISCUSSION:
On June 20, 2006, (M&C L-14201) Fort Worth City Council authorized the conversion of dedicated
parkland known as Prairie Dog Park for the purpose of subsurface drilling and extraction of natural gas.
A request for bid proposals (RFP) was advertised for three consecutive weeks in the Commercial
Recorder, published on August 24, 2006, August 31, 2006 and September 7, 2006.
The following sealed bids for the gas lease were received and opened on September 14, 2006.
Bidder Lease Bonus/Acre Total Lease Bonus % Royalty
Chesapeake Exploration Limited
Partnership $10,818.00 $427,960.09 26%
Marshall R. Young Oil Co.
and Quicksilver Resources, Inc. $6,000.00 $237,360.00 25%
Dale Resources, L.L.C. $6,000.00 $237,360.00 25%
Llano Royalty, Ltd. $5,050.00 $199,778.00 25%
The bids received were evaluated by staff and the City's mineral asset management consultant, JPMorgan
Chase. 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.
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 requests wire transfer of the funds. The net transfer to the City less administrative
and legal fees of$21,398.00 is estimated to be $406,562.00 more or less.
The City has established a Minority Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goal of 3 percent
on City-owned property of 40 acres or more without an investment goal. On leases of City-owned property
of 700 acres or more, the City has established an option of either a 3 percent M/WBE goal or the inclusion
of an M/WBE investor. This lease is less than 40 acres therefore no M/WBE participation goal is
required.
