DESCRIPTION:

Assistant City Manager
At the November 5, 2013 City Council meeting, the City Council received a report and approved
the concept of acquiring a consultant to market the leasing of City sites as possible
telecommunication infrastructure locations as well as manage any resultant leases
(Attachment 1).
As a number of leasing opportunities have presented themselves recently, in particular the
Fallon Sports Park location as mentioned at the November 5, 2013 meeting, Staff is
recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to finalize the contract

negations with Horizon Tower, LLC and execute the agreement as long as the terms are in line
with those highlighted within the attached Staff Report and accompanying consultant proposal.
Contract negotiations have been proceeding in an appropriate manner and timeframe; however,
given the uniqueness of the services being provided, which has required an augmentation of the
City's standard Consultant Services Agreement template, and the impact of the holiday breaks,
Staff is recommending that the City Manager be authorized to finalize the agreement language,
as long as they are within the parameters outlined within the Staff Report and Consultant
proposal, to help expedite the process and avoid waiting an additional month to approve the
agreement as there is only a single meeting within the month of January.

Proposal for Telecom Marketing and Management Services
Prepared by Paul McCreary, Parks and Community Services Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider a proposal received by Horizon Tower, LLC to provide consulting
services for marketing and management of telecommunications sites on City property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Each telecommunications lease has the potential to generate for the City an estimated $175,000
to $200,000 over a ten year period.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the concept of securing a consultant to market and
manage telecommunications services on City property, and direct Staff to negotiate an
Agreement with Horizon Tower, LLC.
Submitted B Reviewed By
Director of Parkland Assistant City Manager
Community Services
DESCRIPTION:
The City frequently receives inquiries from cellular service providers about locating
telecommunications equipment on City property. Currently the City has one lease for a cellular
antenna behind the Shannon Community Center that serves Sprint PCS. Citywide there are
currently approximately 16 telecommunications towers and, as the City grows, the demand is
increasing to locate additional antennas in the eastern part of Dublin. Additionally, due to the
dramatic increase in the use of data - driven smartphones, there is an industry -wide trend toward
densification of service in existing areas.
Page 1 of 3 ITEM NO. 8.1
With the demand growing for telecommunications sites in Dublin, Staff believes that this is an
opportunity to create additional revenue streams for the City. However, the telecommunications
industry is complex and continues to rapidly change. Therefore, Staff published a Request for
Proposals (RFP) to find an expert to: 1) market the City's properties as potential telecom sites;
2) negotiate lease agreements for City Council consideration, and 3) manage the improvements
and the relations with lessees during the term of the agreements. It is anticipated that retaining
the services of a telecommunications consultant will help the City maximize the revenue
potential of telecom sites and be a more efficient use of staff time.
As part of the RFP process, Horizon Tower, LLC of Danville was the only firm to submit a
proposal to the City to provide the marketing and management services outlined in the RFP
(Attachment 1). Horizon is a wireless infrastructure company that has been in business since
2004. Horizon's staff has over fifty years of combined wireless site development experience in
the planning, design, construction and project management of telecom sites. They have
experience negotiating telecom lease agreements including lease amendments and
adjustments; site equipment specifications; stealth applications for suitable design parameters
for zoning approval and building permit compliance; legal compliance and all environmental
compliance. Horizon has experience working in partnership with a variety of public agencies
such as City of Oakley, City of Fontana, the State of California and various school districts.
Under the proposal received from Horizon, Horizon would work with Staff to identify potential
sites for telecommunications leases. Fallon Sports Park is one site that Horizon would highly
recommend for telecommunications equipment due to service gaps in Positano and Jordan
Ranch. A preliminary review shows that Fallon Sports Park has the potential for up to four
carriers. Staff also believes that there could be renewed interest in the Public Safety Complex,
as there were several wireless carriers using that site when it was the former home to the
National Food Lab. There has also been interest by the current lessee at Shannon Park to
expand capacity. That agreement expires in 2014. If retained, Horizon would also negotiate
with the lessee at Shannon Park for any modifications to the site and future amendments to the
agreement, which is almost 15 years old.
Agreements would be negotiated so that all capital costs for the improvements be paid for by
the lessees, as well as all operating, maintenance and repair costs. Agreements would have a
defined term with options for renewal and escalating lease payments. Horizon would only have
the ability to negotiate agreements for the City using a standard agreement agreed to by the
City as a template. All draft agreements would be presented to the City Council for
consideration and approval.
The proposed financial arrangement between the City and Horizon would be a tiered revenue
share structure for all telecom lease revenue generated by the partnership. It is set up to
incentivize Horizon to negotiate the best possible lease terms on behalf of the City. Following
shows the percent share of the monthly lease payments that Horizon would receive for their
services:
Gross Monthly Lease Payment
per Telecom Antenna
Horizon Fee
Years 1 to 5
Horizon Fee
Years 6 &
Beyond
Net to City over
10 years
Less than $2,000 /month
20%
15%
Up to $186,000
$2,000 to $2,399 /month

20%
Up to $208,000
$2,400 /month and greater
30%
25%
Over $210,000
Page 2 of 3
Horizon would not be paid any retainer fee and, as noted, there would be no capital outlay for
the City. Therefore the City would not be out any funds to enter into an Agreement with Horizon
and have them market potential sites.
Staff has followed up with references provided by Horizon Tower and found the firm to have a
reputation for professionalism, demonstrated technical knowledge of the industry, creativity and
follow- through. All references would work with Horizon Tower again on future projects.
If the City Council concurs with the concept of securing the services of Horizon, Staff will
negotiate a Consulting Services Agreement with Horizon for approval by the City Council at a
future meeting.
