The City and Smart City Networks, LP (SCN) are currently parties to an agreement, wherein SCN is obligated to provide exclusive
communications services for facility users and exhibitors at the Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC) (CSC Nos. 46140 and 46140-R1)
(Agreement).
Per the Agreement, SCN is required to contribute three (3%) percent of its monthly gross revenues from the Agreement to a Technology Fund that
is specifically reserved for capital technology enhancements at the FWCC.
SCN has paid the City $347,603.04 specifically for the technology enhancement projects reserve since Fiscal Year 2015. In August 2019, the
PED submitted an assessment analysis to upgrade the FWCC network infrastructure developed by SCN to the City's ITS Department for review.
Upon final approval by the ITS Department, this upgrade will be completed, utilizing the revenue set aside. In the future, as additional funds
become available, further capital plans reviewed and approved by the ITS Department will be incorporated into the PED 5-year capital plan.
Funding for this project was included in the FY2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan in the amount of $35,000 in the Programmable Project.
Additional funding in the amount $73,632.04 is needed for the true up to account for previous received revenue that was not appropriated in the
project.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances,
funds will be available in the current Operating and Capital Budgets of the Culture & Tourism and Culture & Tourism Capital Projects Funds. Prior
to any expense being incurred the Public Events Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
