1 (c) If a commercial mobile radio service provider is
2 interested in attaching its wireless facilities to a structure
3 owned by the state, the provider must submit a letter of
4 interest to the agency managing the structure together with an
5 application fee of $250. The letter must describe in
6 reasonable detail the provider's requirements for placing its
7 facilities on the structure. Within 45 days of receipt of the
8 letter, the state agency must notify the provider of the
9 site's availability and, if available, allow the provider to
10 perform on-site testing. All state owned structures are
11 hereby declared available unless the proposed facilities would
12 adversely impact the historic or environmental character of
13 the site, the structural integrity of the structure, the
14 security of a corrections facility as defined in s. 944.02,
15 including facilities operated by private entities with which
16 the Department of Corrections enters into contracts pursuant
17 to s. 944.105, or the department's expressed desire to locate
18 its own communications facilities on the structure.
19 (d) If a commercial radio service provider desires to
20 locate its facilities on an available state structure, the
21 state agency managing the structure shall enter into a lease
22 with the provider without competitive bidding or procurement.
23 The terms of the lease shall follow the terms of a model lease
24 which the Department of Management Services must establish
25 within 120 days of the effective date of this act. The model
26 lease will include, but not be limited to, the following
27 provisions: (i) rent will be based on fair market value of

2 allowed reasonable space in, on or near the structure to
3 connect and house any accessory equipment; (iv) the provider
4 will design all antenna attachments and shelters to minimize
5 any aesthetic impact; (v) the provider's use shall not
6 interfere with any current or future use of the site by the
7 state; and (vi) the duration of the lease will be 5 years and
8 grant the provider options to renew for three additional
9 5-year terms.
10 (e) Fifty percent (50%) of the first $5,000,000
11 revenue annually derived from the lease of state property
12 under this section shall be credited to the agency that
13 manages the property; the remaining 50% of the first
14 $5,000,000 revenue annually shall be credited to the school
15 improvement and academic achievement Trust Fund; all the
16 revenue exceeding $5,000,000 annually shall be credited to the
17 agency. If the tower is owned by or under the control of the
18 Department of Management Services, all funds shall be placed
19 in the State Agency Law Enforcement Radio System Trust Fund.
20 (f) If any department, board, agency or commission of
21 the state offers buildings and antenna structures that it owns
22 or manages for the placement of commercial mobile radio
23 services facilities through a fair and open competitive
24 procurement process, subsections (b) through (d) shall not
25 apply, if such bid or request for proposal is published within
26 90 days of a written request pursuant to subsection (b), or
