Agenda 12/11/2018 Item #16C 512/11/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Second Amendment to Agreement for the Provision of
Telecommunication Services and Facilities with Vertical Bridge S3 Assets, LLC, for the installation
of antenna equipment for the County’s emergency radio system.
OBJECTIVE: An Amendment is required to allow the County to install additional equipment on a
leased communications tower related to the county’s emergency radio system.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May 1, 1997, the County entered into an Agreement with Sprint-Florida
Incorporated, predecessor to the current owner, Vertical Bridge S3 Assets, LLC. The purpose of the
Agreement was to allow the County to install communications equipment for the County’s emergency
radio system. The tower is located on Loop Road. The Lease was later amended by First Amendment to
Standard Agreement for Central Office Space Lease and License ("First Amendment") in October 2001 to
modify the County’s leased space, reduce the rental rate, and extend the lease term.
The attached Second Amendment to Agreement for the Provision of Telecommunications Services and
Facilities authorizes the County to occupy additional tower capacity to upgrade the existing antenna
system to improve radio system coverage along the eastern portion of US 41 and vicinity. The
Amendment revises the rent from $1,437.10 to $2,487.10 per month and replaces the original Exhibit "A"
identifying the County’s new equipment. The rent for the added linear footage (10') is based on the
landlord's current fair market value while the exiting linear footage (30') is based on the 1997 rent that
includes annual five percent increases (Fact Sheet for rent clarification attached). If the Lease is extended
as allowed in the First Amendment, the Lease will continue until May 1, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT: The monthly rent of $2,487.10 shall be withdrawn from Intergovernmental Radio
Communication Program fund 188-140480.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board action. - JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Second Amendment to
Agreement for the Provision of Telecommunications Services and Facilities wit h Vertical Bridge S3
Assets, LLC.

FACT SHEET
Vertical Bridge Tower
Lease started: May 1, 1997
Lease expires: May 2, 2026
Currently:
Two omni/whip antennae - Current: 15’ long
Includes interior space in equipment shelter and utilities
Rent is currently $1,437.10
Current rental rate is $47.9033 per linear foot
Monthly rate is based on a 2001 Amendment which added a five percent increase to the
annual rent and revised the rent from $570 to $627 per month, or $20.90 per foot, due to a
change in equipment.
30’ of antennae x $47.9033 per linear foot (based on original Lease and Amendment) =
$1,437.099 or $1,437.10 monthly rent
Proposed:
Two omni/whip antennae – 20’ each
Increase in rent is $105 per linear foot. This figured is based on current Fair Market Rent.
5’ increase per antennae x 2 antennae = 10’ x $105 rent increase = $1,050 increase per
month
Rent methodology:
Typically, tower rents are not clear-cut and fluctuate from tower-to-tower.
Rents are based on the owner of the tower, the actual location of the tower, the location of the
tenant’s equipment on the tower, the size of space occupied within the equipment shelter, the
inclusion of utilities and/or use of owner’s generator, and length of lease term.
John Daly, Radio Communications Manager, IT, feels that the $105 is fair market rent. This
location is not only vital to the emergency radio system, but there are no other towers in the area
to support the County’s equipment for coverage.
The County is not paying utilities and has free use of the landlord’s generator at this location.
Based on the new rental rates, if the County were to negotiate a new lease at this location, the
rent for 40’ of antenna would be $4,200 per month. By amending the lease, the County saves
money.
