After examining the various sites and consideration of coverage issues, Primeco proposed the <br />below listed sites for co -location agreements and staff has negotiated lease payments and terms <br />as noted. <br />SITE/TOVVER <br />ONE-TUYIE FEE <br />ANNUAL RENTAL <br />Hoban Tower <br />$10,000 <br />$10,800 <br />Tower Near EMS Station 1 <br />$10,000 <br />$10,800 <br />Gifford Water Tower <br />$10,000 <br />$9,360 <br />Staff submits that each of the three proposed contracts were intensely negotiated and for <br />purposes of brevity, the more salient points of the agreements are as follows: <br />1. Primeco will provide their own electrical service, emergency power, and locate <br />their equipment on a concrete slab outside the existing equipment building at the <br />sites. The only exception is the Hobart Tower location, which may be revisited <br />in terms of allowing the company to place their equipment inside the building <br />subject to space being available after the old VHF and UHF equipment is <br />removed and the 800 MHz system completed. Annual rental rate will be <br />reconsidered if space is available. <br />2. Lease is subject to a "no interference clause." <br />3. On each anniversary date during the term of the agreement the annual rent is <br />increased by four percent (4%). <br />Revenue from each of the tower sites will be allocated, as recommended by the County <br />Administrator and approved by the Board, to the respective department for use in paying existing <br />recurring expenses as well as maintaining and improving the towers or other structures upon <br />which the Primeco equipment is located. <br />RECON1MENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the three Tower and Ground Space/Co-location Agreements <br />between Indian River County and Primeco Personal Communications with the revenue being <br />utilized as noted above. <br />Commissioner Macht complimented staff on their handling of this project <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Grin, that the Board approve the three Tower <br />and Ground Space/Co-Location Agreements with Primeco <br />Personal Communications as amended, conditioned on <br />Primeco's acceptance, pursuant to staffs recommendations. <br />Commissioner Ginn questioned whether the existing facilities are engineered to hold <br />these towers, and Emergency Services Director Wright explained that an engineering load <br />analysis is performed prior to proceeding with any construction. <br />AUGUST 5,1997 BOOK 102, PAGE 2U3 <br />35 <br />
