RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute an Amended and Restated Communication Site Lease between New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC and Contra Costa County (County), to lease approximately 500 square feet of vault and tower space, for a five year term commencing April 1, 2016 and ending March 30, 2021;


EXERCISE any options to renew the lease, as defined in the lease. The County will receive total revenue of $148,884 over 5 years, as outlined under the terms and conditions set forth in the lease; and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that the lease will not substantially interfere with the public use of the property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund

BACKGROUND:

This site is a primary and necessary link in the communications network for Contra Costa County. The County maintains its own separate communication vault with equipment under the Department of Information Technology at this facility. This lease was originally leased to Bay Area Cellular Telephone Company under a lease dated July 1, 1992. The County has numerous revenue leases with different entities at this location.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the amendment may result in the County not being able to offset its operating costs in maintaining the tower and vault.
