Title
Consider an Amendment of the Mansfield StarCenter Sports Facility Lease and Operating Agreement between the City of Mansfield and DSE Hockey Centers, L.P.
Requested Action
Consider Approving an Amendment to the Lease and Operating Agreement Mansfield StarCenter Sports Facility
Recommendation
Approve Agreement Amendment
Description/History
In 2015, Dallas StarCenter’s representatives contacted the City to discuss the possibility of creating a public/private partnership for the construction and operation of a sports facility called Mansfield StarCenter Sports Facility.
This facility will add an additional indoor element to our parks and recreation system that could operate year-round focusing on ice hockey leagues and tournaments and ice dancing. This facility will provide sports opportunities to our local youth and adults as well as out-of-town visitors. An economic and feasibility study was conducted on this project by Conventions Sport and Leisure, International.
Construction is being completed through the Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) delivery method. Pete Durant and Associates, Inc. was awarded the CMAR contract by City Council at their July 11, 2016 meeting. Magee Architects, L.P. is providing the architectural services for the project.
Justification
At the request of DSE Hockey Centers L.P., the opening date of the facility has been changed from September 1, 2017 to September 1, 2018. The amendment to the Lease Agreement adjusts only the sections affected by this date change. The Lease Agreement remains a 30 year term lease with annual rent payments and guidelines on how the facility is to be maintained and operated.
