Authorize Execution of a Rooftop Site License Agreement and an Office Space License Agreement with Behringer
Harvard Burnett Plaza LP, in the Amount of $100,000.00 Annually for the Lease of Space at Burnett Plaza Plus
$35,000 00 Annually for Utility Costs and $320,000.00 for Implementation of a Public Safety Radio Site with Credits
of $160,000.00 for the First Five Years (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Rooftop Site License Agreement and an Office Space License
Agreement with Behringer Harvard Burnett Plaza LP, in the amount of $100,000 annually for the lease of space at Burnett Plaza
plus $35,000.00 annually for utility costs and $320,000.00 for implementation of a Public Safety Radio Site with credits of
$160,000.00 for the first five years.
DISCUSSION:
On June 14, 2011, (M&C G-17303) the City Council authorized the execution of a system purchase Agreement with Motorola
Solutions, Inc., for the upgrade of the City's public safety communications system. The upgrade includes the implementation of
new radio equipment and supporting infrastructure at Burnett Plaza in downtown Fort Worth. The site also supports the City's
legacy radio systems, and will continue to house these systems through March 2015 This site provides radio coverage in central
Fort Worth and throughout much of the City.
The Agreements with Behringer Harvard Burnett Plaza LP (Burnett Plaza), will replace existing leases previously authorized in
1992. The Rooftop Site License Agreement will have an annual rate in the amount of $79,600.00, and the Office Space License
Agreement will have an annual rate in the amount of $20,400.00. The amount of $100,000 00 combined annual rate under the new
Agreements will reduce the City's cost by approximately 59 percent. In addition to the annual rates, utility costs are estimated to be
in the amount of $35,000.00 per year.
Costs for space build -out, implementation of new electrical components including backup generator, and rooftop installations are
estimated in the amount of $320,000.00. However the office space Agreement calls for credits totaling $160 000.00 to be applied
to the annual rate during the first five years of the Agreement. As a result, the net cost to the City during the first five years will be
approximately $70,000.00 annually.
The selection of Burnett Plaza is based on its location and height. Staff also reviewed another downtown structure, but determined
the lower cost associated with maintaining service at Burnett Plaza, coupled with the significantly lower rates under the new
Agreement, warranted the recommendation for the execution of the proposed Agreements.
Execution of the Agreements will allow the City to begin planning and construction of the space to house the radio equipment at this
site in time for the go -live of the public safety radio system now scheduled for July 2013.
TERM - Each Agreement shall be for an initial term of five years.
ADMINISTRATIVE INCREASE An administrative amendment or increase may be made to each Agreement by the City Manager
for an amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been
appropriated.
