<br />* With respect to additional carriers or co-locating, there are <br />three ways the City may want to consider leasing: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1) Lease to T-Mobile only that space they need for their 10' x 12' <br />shelter and then lease additional ground space to other carriers if, and when, they go on the tower. Other, co-locating <br />carriers will have to pay T-Mobile approximately $1,000/month just for use of the monopole so, they will balk at paying <br />more than around $500/month for ground space. <br />You can still require T-Mobile to pay a portion of the rent in addition to whatever ground rent you get from co-locators; <br /> <br />2) Lease more space to T-Mobile than they currently require and <br />allow them to sublease some of that space to other carriers. Then, take a percentage (50% seems to be common) of the <br />rent from T-Mobile. <br />Currently, rents for co-location are around $1,200 - $2,100/month. <br />NOTE: Carriers usually don't agree to split co-location rent but, they will often do it with local governments. <br />Additionally, they build monopoles on city property knowing that they may never be able to recoup any of their costs <br />through co-location fees; or, <br /> <br />3) Allow T-Mobile to build the tower, convey it to the City and <br />abate their rent for an agreed upon number of years. Then, charge any additional carriers rent for tower and ground <br />space. <br /> <br />Any combinations of the above may be an option. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Some things carriers won't negotiate on are: <br /> <br />A) Access to the site - they usually need 24 hr/7 days a week access in the event the site goes down. This will be a large <br />burden if future park uses change. <br /> <br />B) Sharing a percentage of their revenue - other than co-location rent. <br />This becomes difficult calculation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Again if the City is to move forward these are possibilities to get the City the best deal. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dale Aukee <br /> <br />Field Representative <br /> <br />Great River Energy <br /> <br />Office 763-241-2229 <br /> <br />Cell 612-840-4019 <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
