SUBJECT
(CD 7) Ratify Conveyance of an Easement to Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, d/b/a AT&T Texas (AT&T), Being Approximately 0.065
Acres of City Fee -Owned Property, for Underground Fiber Optic Lines at 2012 Eagle Parkway Near Alliance Airport
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council ratify the conveyance of an easement to Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, d/b/a AT&T Texas
(AT&T), being approximately 0.065 acres of City fee -owned property, for underground fiber-optic lines at 2012 Eagle Parkway near Alliance
Airport in Denton County.
DISCUSSION:
On September 29, 2020, the City entered into an agreement with Alliance Al No. 1, LLC ("Alliance Al") to lease space at 2012 Eagle Parkway,
76177, located at the Alliance Maintenance Facility ("AMF").
Alliance Al subleased the space to TuSimple and built a small facility for their autonomous trucking technology company operations.
TuSimple has requested high-speed internet access to the facility that the company primarily uses to upload/download data to and from the trucks.
This process allows the trucks to "learn," an essential function that is vital for the company's operations. Without this fiber connection provided by
AT&T, TuSimple cannot achieve the required data transfer or network transmission speed (10gbps).
This AT&T fiber connection requires an easement on the AMF to complete the connection.
The City of Fort Worth has conveyed an easement necessary to provide underground fiber-optic line(s) at the AMF which is owned by the City of
Fort Worth.
This M&C shall ratify the conveyance of said easement to Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, d/b/a AT&T Texas (AT&T).
