BACKGROUND:
|
In 2001, the County and Sprint entered into a Permit Agreement for the installation, construction and operation of a communication facility at the County's Tower Road Communication Facility site in San Mateo. The Permit Agreement expired in 2006, and Sprint continued operating at this site on a month-to-month basis in accordance with the holdover provision of the Permit. Sprint wishes to enter into a new long-term agreement for the site.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
Real Property Services has negotiated an agreement for a term of five years, providing Sprint one option to extend for an additional five years. The initial monthly fee of $3,000 is subject to an annual escalation of 3%. There are no changes to the use of the facility as a result of this agreement.
|
|
|
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Permit Agreement as to form. The Director of Public Works concurs in this recommendation.
|
|
|
FISCAL IMPACT:
|
The monthly fee, totaling $191,129 for the initial 5-year term, will be deposited into the Facilities Account for the Department of Public Works.
