You could drill or dig holes around the existing concrete, install sonotube, hang anchor bolts with a template for the new tower and fill with concrete. Then you could just tear down and erect the new tower in a day. Just swap them out.

Mods are usually easier to get permits for. Leave the concrete base dig around it a bit and cover it up with more concrete. I had a SS tower fall and I used the same base and sifted the tower feet 90 degrees. It was all a modification or upgrade.
