Botetourt County solicits proposals from qualified vendors to enter into a public-private partnership to construct multiple communication towers. Botetourt County may provide a twenty-year (20) lease at a reduced rate for a land lease in lieu of free space for communications equipment on the towers. At their discretion, the vendor can lease out the remaining space on the towers to qualified tenants and retain all subsequent rental payments. The Tinker Mountain site will require a revenue-sharing agreement with the landowner, with $650 per month per tenant. The vendor will retain ownership of the structure and must maintain the tower in good condition for the duration of the land lease. Upon termination of the land use, unless otherwise provided and agreed by the County and land owner, the vendor will decommission and remove the towers and restore the sites.
