ITEM BACKGROUND: The compound currently occupied by Fleet Maintenance and Facilities Maintenance departments on South Roosevelt is needed by the Key West Airport for expansion of the passenger terminal in mid-2021.

This parcel, owned by Rockland Investment Corporation, Inc., is located at 111 Overseas Highway on Rockland Key. The initial lease term is for two (2) years with three one (1)year extensions. The initial term will commence on March 17, 2021, and terminate on March 16, 2023. The property will require some build-out and improvements to accommodate the operations of Fleet Maintenance. Payment of rent will not commence until May 1, 2021, or upon Fleet Maintenance actually begins its daily operations from that location, whichever occurs first. The total monthly rental is $8,529.75, which includes the base rent for the main and secondary parcels and a percentage of the common area maintenance charges. The County will also pay a prorate portion of the taxes and its utilities.
