PATRICIA FLURY MAYOR—COMMISSIONER ATTEST: LOUISE,STILSON, CMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO AND CORRECTNESS: BY: THO- AS .O AN BRO CITY AT" RNEY 7* 4 { CITY OF DANIA BEACH MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Commissioners CC: Ivan Pato, City Manager Dominic Orlando, Public Services Director Patricia Varney, Finance Director Larry Leeds, Community Development Director Kristen Jones, Parks and Recreation Director Mary McDonald, Human Resources Director FROM: Tom Ansbro, City Attorney DATE: April 17, 2006 RE: Proposed Bus Shelter Agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. Last year, the City was separately approached by Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and a local competitor company, each of which proposed to install new bus shelters bearing advertising panels at various stops located within the City. Each company proposed to install the same type of shelter. They are designed to provide night illumination derived from solar panel energy. We determined that in our locale, the two companies appear to be the only providers of such bus shelters. Therefore, an informal "request for proposal" process was begun. Recently, however, the competitor company, for unknown reasons, has chosen not to submit a response, leaving Clear Channel as the only company interested in providing the shelters. The company submitted a proposed Agreement which I have substantially modified. The most important features of the Agreement are: 1) a ten year term, with two five year option terms, to be granted at the City's sole discretion; 2) up to 30 shelters would be installed at mutually agreeable locations; Mayor and Commissioners April 17, 2006 Page 2 of 2 3) for the first year, a payment of $6,000.00 would be made upon execution of the Agreement and subsequently, annual fee of $650.00 (prorated if not in existence for a full year) for each shelter would be paid subject to an annual 3% upward adjustment; 4) the company is solely responsible to maintain, repair and replace the shelters, and to keep them and an area within ten feet around each shelter in a clean and presentable condition; 5) the City can require objectionable material displayed in any advertising panel to be removed; and 6) advertising panels will be available for City messages if a panel has not been "rented". A copy of the Company's detailed proposal, depicting the proposed type of shelter, is attached for your information. A copy of the Agreement is also attached. If you find the proposal acceptable, a Resolution has been prepared, authorizing execution of an agreement with the Company. TJA:slw Attachments AGREEMENT THIS IS AN AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") entered into on l�'l��L- , 2006, between the CITY OF DANIA BEACH, a Florida municipal corporation (the "CITY"), and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., a Delaware corporation, registered in Florida as CC Outdoor, Inc., and doing business in Florida as Clear Channel Outdoor, a Florida corporation ("COMPANY").

The phrase "chronic vandalism" shall be defined to mean damage inflicted to an individual shelter during any three (3) consecutive month period which require cumulative expenditures for replacements or repairs that exceed $1,000.00. 4. Relocation of Shelters. In the event of a change in bus stops or other transportation systems' designations, changes in street design or rights-of-way or changes the City Manager deems necessary for the public health, safety, welfare and convenience, or changes in demographics which materially affect the pedestrian and vehicular traffic flow at or near shelters established as provided above, the COMPANY, at the CITY'S written request, shall relocate a designated shelter to another location mutually agreed to in writing by the CITY and the COMPANY. If requested by the CITY, a shelter must be removed even if CITY and COMPANY cannot agree on a new site. The expense in connection with such relocation shall be borne by the COMPANY, and the COMPANY shall act expeditiously in order to relocate any such shelter, and in the event that a change of street design or right-of-way location shall require the relocation of a shelter, the COMPANY shall coordinate its work with the contractors or other personnel performing labor in connection with the change of street design or right-of-way location in order to accomplish the relocation expeditiously and without interference to the work related to with the relocation of streets or rights-of-way. 2 5.
