7. Maintenance and Renewal of Bond. The Tower Owner/Operator shall

Board of County Commissioners Regular Board Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns the maintenance and renewal of a bond for a tower owner/operator in Highlands County. The bond must remain active until 30 days after the tower is removed. It needs to be for 110% of the estimated removal cost and adjusted for cost increases. The project engineer's cost estimate must be renewed every 10 years and given to the County Engineer's Office. This is a planned administrative action related to an existing or future tower removal. The scope of work involves ongoing financial assurance and periodic engineering cost reviews. Local businesses involved in financial services, engineering, and potentially demolition or site remediation services could be impacted by the eventual tower removal and associated bond requirements.
