drilling under 389.233 net mineral acres, more or less, of City-owned properties located in Tarrant County,
known as the Rockwood Park, to Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C., for a two-year term.
DISCUSSION:

parkland known as Rockwood Park for the purpose of subsurface drilling and extraction of natural gas.
On August 14, 2007, (M&C G-15829) Fort Worth City Council gave authorization to advertise and receive
bids for subsurface drilling and extraction of natural gas under Rockwood Park.
A request for bid proposals (RFP) was advertised for three consecutive weeks in the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram, published on August 16, August 23, and August 30, 2007.
The following sealed bid for the gas lease was received and opened on September 6, 2007.
Bidder Lease Bonus/Acre Total Lease Bonus Percent Royalty
Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C. $12,222.00 $4,757,205.73 26
The bid received was 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

of an M/WBE investor. Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C., has committed to a 3 percent M/WBE participation
goal as required.
