I'ts not my nickel, and not my tower.
I was told it was a 3 hour job with a 2 man crew by one of the tower
companies I got a quote from. But they also charged me an additional 10
hours of travel time. I understand the cost of a crew, but in each case,
the problem is not the time on the tower, it's travel - being 300 miles or
more away.
The rates I was quoted was 85/man/hr, which I thought were reasonable.
I was hoping there was just someone closer.it sucks that travel is the
majority of the cost.

Mark - industry rates for a tower crew is $70.00 - $110.00 per hour /
PER MAN - That doesn't include travel which most bill out at $50.00/hour
PER man for travel time.
This would be a full days work with a 3 man crew - Most will use a 4 man
crew to get this done. The $3500.00 seems about right for any tower crew
that has experienced hands and the proper insurance/tools.
Remember - you hire a cheap crew - you are in for cheap work and a
crappy job.

Subject: [WISPA] Maybe someone has suggestions... - Tower work
The FM radio station I'm working out a deal with... Is a non-profit, a
religious station that runs on donations.
So far, we have 2 prices for doing a standard tower inspection of about
a 200 foot tower, and I don't know if this includes tensioning guys,
etc. But the price is about $3500.
I don't believe they can actually pay that out. Can someone point me
to a
list or some resource that can point me to tower teams in eastern WA or
OR,
that might not be quite this much?If they can't do that, it really
puts
a wrinkle in my plans to put stuff on their tower, as I won't put
anything on it, nor can I get a climber to put stuff on it, unless the
work is done in the first place.
Any references would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mark
