RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize an Interlocal Agreement with the Texas Railroad
Commission for facility sharing by the City of Fort Worth with the Texas Railroad Commission utilizing
1,497 square feet of office space at 401 West 13th Street.
DISCUSSION:
Exploration and development activities within the Barnett Shale gas field in Fort Worth and north
Texas have grown dramatically over the course of the last several years. Present and forecasted
levels of exploration and development point to a continued need for the Texas Railroad Commission
(Commission) to have a presence in the City of Fort Worth (City) in order to effectively fulfill required
inspections of current and future well sites and to transact other business relative to the affairs of the
Commission.
Pursuant to Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-22933) approved on July 22, 2008, the City
and the Commission entered into an Interlocal Agreement for facility sharing for office space located
at 401 West 13th Street, with the Agreement being for a term from September 1, 2008 through
August 31, 2013. Although this original Agreement provides for five one-year renewals, the parties
have agreed to enter into a new Agreement on substantially the same terms that will supersede the
original Agreement. The new Agreement will be for facility sharing at the same location because a
City location by the Commission has provided for more effective communications and interaction
between Commission and Staff, as both Staffs respond to issues and concerns related to gas
exploration in the area.
The terms of the Agreement are as follows:
1. Space: 1,497 square feet of office space at 401 West 13th Street;
2. Term: Five years commencing September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2018, with five one-year
automatic renewal options;
3. Costs: The Commission shall reimburse the City for the Commission's pro rata share of the
custodial and janitorial costs associated with the subject space which shall begin at a level of service
at twice per week at a cost of $184.00 per month. For the current fiscal year and for Fiscal Year
2013/2014 the cost will be $184 00 per month, but any increase or decrease in the City's cost for
these services will result in a corresponding new rate for which the Commission shall be responsible;
and
4. Signs City shall be responsible for maintenance of (i) existing signage on the building
identifying it as the location of the Texas Railroad Commission and (ii) existing green and white street
