AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action to Approve a Resolution Approving a Third Amendment to Rooftop Telecommunications License Agreement Between the Town of Addison and COP Spectrum Center, LLC F/K/A GPI Spectrum LLC, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount not to Exceed $29,112.96 for the First Year.

BACKGROUND:

In 2013, the Town of Addison partnered with the cities of Carrollton, Coppell and Farmers Branch to build and operate a public safety radio system comprised of six tower sites within the four cities. The Town selected the east tower at 5080 Spectrum as the location for Addison's tower site. The Town of Addison currently holds a rooftop telecommunications license agreement with COP Spectrum Center Partners, LLC to host the tower site on their building. The contract amount for Fiscal Year 2019 was $28,264.92 and has been paid. This expenditure is a budgeted item and was within budget.

The license agreement needs to be renewed. The license fee for the new term is $2,426.08 per month for a total amount of $29,112.96 for the first year (Fiscal Year 2020). The renewed license extends the original agreement for an additional five years expiring on October 31, 2023.

Provisions:

Two additional, five-year terms if desired by both parties.
Subject to a 3% annual escalation

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
