Our Daily rate varies from $600-2500 a day. $600 is pretty rare. Most of the time it is in the $1000+ range.
Factors in the daily rate: 1.Insurance. This is the biggest cost we have on the tower side. Many companies require 3Million in liability, with some now requiring 5 million. 2.Operating crew size. For maintenance and “little” stuff like your PTP 550s we would send out a 2 person crew. Driving distance would be the biggest factor. After that it would depend on if it is a tower where we had to do an official closeout. Crown, American, etc. require paperwork if we are even certified to go on their towers. We mainly stick with American these days out of the big ones for new stuff. The amount of stuff required to bolt stuff to a Crown tower is nutty. This could be the reason for such a high cost is if it’s Crown or SBA and it’s a “certified construction crew” or whatever it is called. These are the crews who do Cellular and roll a full 3-4 person crew. We don’t touch Crown or SBA for new stuff due to many factors. The last crew we had come in was $3500 a day for Crown Work. If it was a tower we would do the work on we would bid that job at $800-1200 depending on distance. That is assuming you have the proper mounts, you supply the cable, and things were in place ahead of time (gate codes, keys, Notice to proceed, etc.). If everything is in place and everything bench tested I would plan on a day to get it done at 100’ on both ends.
