Subject: APPROVAL OF A LEASE 2065 MARTIN AVENUE #101
COUNCIL
DISTRICT: Citywide
Approval of a one-year lease agreement
with Kinco Mercado Real, LLC for 3,420 square feet of office space on the
ground floor of a building located at 2065 Martin Avenue, at a rental rate of
$12,175.60 per month for the animal control dispatch facility.
Commencing July 1, 2001, the City of San
José will be providing animal control services, assuming the responsibility for
services currently provided by the Humane Society of Santa Clara County. In order to accommodate their new
responsibilities, the City is constructing an animal shelter and office
facility on Monterey Road in San José.
This new facility is scheduled for completion in May of 2002. In the interim, the City will take over the
existing animal control dispatch facility operated by the Humane Society at
2065 Martin Avenue, while contracting with that organization for the housing of
impounded animals.
At the request of the City Manager,
Public Works Real Estate staff negotiated a new one-year lease for 3,420 square
feet of office space on the ground floor of 2065 Martin Avenue at a rental rate
of $12,175.60 per month. This includes
an assessment for the City’s share of water and garbage services. In addition to the rent, the City will be
responsible for providing utilities, maintenance and janitorial services to the
leased premises.
The Martin Avenue site was selected
because it is a pre-existing facility that has already been set up for animal
control operations, including telephone and radio dispatch equipment as well as
an area suitable for the storage of City vehicles.
Because the lease term is limited to a
one-year period, it does not contain any cancellation language.
Not applicable.
This item has
been coordinated with the Office of the City Manager and the Department of
Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services.
The Office of the City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and approved
it as to form.
Rent for this agreement is
$146,107.20. In addition to the rent,
the City will also be responsible for providing utilities, janitorial and
maintenance services to the leased premises at an estimated cost of $22,500.
