Background and Analysis:
Sunrise Park, located at 505 Bing Street NW, consists of two parcels. The parcel accessed from Birch Street NW, adjacent to the water tower, includes a concrete storage structure constructed by TCOMM911 in 2011.
In recent years, TCOMM911 identified a need for a larger facility to accommodate upgrades to its telecommunications infrastructure. Due to restrictions associated with the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grant encumbering the property, the City was unable to authorize an expansion of the existing structure. As a result, TCOMM911 vacated the building and relocated its operations.
The Parks Department has identified an opportunity to repurpose the existing structure for storage to support park operations. TCOMM911 is proposing to transfer the building and associated HVAC system to the City at no cost. The original construction cost of the structure was $106,257.59 in 2011, and an HVAC system upgrade was completed in 2017 at a cost of $3,085.00.
Because the value of the asset exceeds $10,000, Olympia Municipal Code (OMC) 3.56.020 requires City Council approval to authorize the City Manager to execute the Asset Transfer Agreement.
