[WISPA] Leasing towers to Cell Carriers
I have a couple of Rohn SSV-MW 250' towers located in areas with spotty cell service. I wouldn't mind getting a few carriers on these towers. I have been successful in finding contact information for ATT and T-Mobile, but nobody else. Does anyone have any contact information for these guys? Regards, Chuck WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Leasing towers to Cell Carriers
I will say it again, but I of course have no experience with this so I am quite sure 9809895234345 people will correct me. The best way to market your towers to cellular carriers. 1. Hang a sign. WIRELESS SPACE FOR LEASE. 2. Do an FAA on your tower. https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp 3. Do an FCC on your tower. http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna/index.htm?job=home 4. Sit back and wait to become a millionare. Heck, my housekeeper has an Aunt that knows a woman at her granddaughters school whose son in law gets 18k a month from his ground lease! Almost every carrier uses a site acquisition contractor for their sites, and the FAA and FCC are the first places they look. Then they go and drive around. If there are multiple towers in their search ring, they are going to look for the friendly tower companies, ie, ones they have done business with before, or the ones that are inviting them to do business with them, ie the sign. ATT Wireless probably uses 30 different contractors alone. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!

Re: [WISPA] Leasing towers to Cell Carriers
That is exactly how it happens. Did it for years and I can tell you the lazy site acquisition people will take the path of least resistance. Make their life easy. You trying to call a carrier will probably not even get to the right place. They make expansion plans at least a year in advance, they won't change their build out plan for one tower site. If you happen to fall in their plan you might be in luck. Your asking rent can make HUGE difference in getting a carrier on your site. $25 a month difference in rent catches a carrier's attention when you consider how many towers they have nationwide, every dollar in rent saved adds up each month over all those sites.

Re: [WISPA] Leasing towers to Cell Carriers
Before a large carrier will do business with you, a bunch of things need to be squared away - here's a checklist that we follow and present when marketing our towers Required documents for Verizon, ATT, T-Mobile, ClearWire, Cricket, Lightsquared and Sprint to co-locate on an existing tower 1. Title Report (less than 6 months old) with a memo from an attorney stating all mortgages, encumberances and potential conflicts with existing easements 2. Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (less than 6-9 months old) performed by a licensed Environment Engineer 3. Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment (where required) including subsurface investigation by geotechnical boring drill and lab investigation of core samples 4. FAA Determination including Survey with 1A letter performed by licensed surveyer 5. FCC Filing, including all correct notices up to date with appropriate coordination as verified by 1A letter. 6. Original lease. All agreements must be provided to the potential tenant, and the tenant may require the tower owner to obtain any required sublease consent or additional space at the tower owner's sole cost and expense. All leases must be properly notarized, signed and dated, and all exhibits must reflect the lease area and access route. 7. Original Geotechnical Survey 8. Original Tower Foundation and Structural drawings 9. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) checklist performed by a licensed environmental engineer and completion of the following compliance items, as required: a. Wetland determination and delination b. State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) Letter of No Effect c. Tribal Historic Preservation Office Approval (THPO) d. Floodplain Determination e. Archeological Survey, including subsurface investigation and lab research f.Environmental Impact Assessment filed with the FCC and evidence of the approval of that EIA is required before a tenant will co-locate on the tower 10. Zoning Approval, including the specific Conditional Use Permit, Special Use Permit, Variance, and/or Ordinance citing approval with restrictions (if any) and any other zonging entitlements 11. Building Permit Approval, including any stated restrictions for construction or future conditions on alteration of the structure 12. No tenant will agree to sign a lease with a tower owner without the receipt of all relevant documentation, the physical structure being completed, the lack of existence of favored tower companies in the given search area (typically .75 - 1.5 miles in diameter), and the budget to build sites in a given location.

Re: [WISPA] Leasing towers to Cell Carriers
I am responding to the first post in this thread, so I have no idea of what has been suggested. I am in a very rural area, I know for a fact the Crown Castle pay's $500/mth for a ground level space to lease from the land owner in this area. Crown built a 400 ft guided tower and they have Verizon on the top and U.S. Cellular at 200 ft. I would guess to estimate that they are charging at least $1200/mth to $1500/mth on each of those. I have not inquired on my cost to get to those, but the amount's I suggested are from land owner's in my area.

Re: [WISPA] Leasing towers to Cell Carriers
I would venture I must be doing it wrong then. As well as other tower companies. The majority of what you mention is dependent on the age of the structure also. Chuck, if you bought those towers where they stand from Jay, then the vast majority of what is listed is grandfathered. (knowing where Jay got those from) 1. Carrier will do this themselves, no matter if you do it. 2. Phase 1 and 2, the carrier will do if they feel the need, but probably not. 3. see 2. 4. They will verify during the site acquisition process online. 5. They will verify during the site acquisition process online. 6. Given. They want to make sure you are there legally, so they can be there legally. 7 and 8 saves some time, but they will do it themselves if needed. 9. Depends on the age of the tower. If it was erected when NEPA was not required, then they will not require it. While you listed many parts of it, people should not get blown away with it anyways, it is realy a rather simple process. I use a company in TX that completes it in a short time, for a cost usually below 1k, before travel if needed. 10. If required - and they will get that information directly from the zoning agency. You can provide it, it will look pretty, but they are going to pull it themselves. 11. See 10. Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!
