Background and Discussion:

Precinct 4 is seeking to secure a commercial office agreement for administrative office use, as they are currently occupying a section of the 13th floor of 1111 Fannin and do not have adequate office space for the staff.  Landlord has the right to establish fair market value, based on lease comps for similarly situated office space, the Engineering Department agrees to fair market value rates of $18.50 psf for months 01-13, $19.00 psf for months 14-26, $19.50 for months 27-39, $20.00 psf for months 40-52, $20.50 psf for months 53-65, $21.00 psf for months 66-78, and $21.50 psf for months 79-91. There will also be 7 additional months of abated rent for months 01, 14, 27, 40, 53, 66, and 79.

 

Expected Impact:

This agreement has a term of 91 months and will commence once the Landlords work is completed.

 

Alternative Options:

The County could choose to not execute the agreement.
