I just heard back from one of the engineering companies recommended by a
tower owner, he ballparked $1000-$1500 for the drawings, and $1500 for
the engineering, but said it depends on how much of the drawings are
already done, or if he has to go out and survey the tower and make one.

Subject: [AFMUG] Water tower structural engineering
Many of you guys are on Municipal water tanks, did you have to have
drawings/engineering done for your equipment? We have equipment on some
city water tanks through an acquisition, and the city is requiring us to
do full drawing/engineering/permits for equipment upgrades even though
we're only talking about changing some 2' dishes out (UBNT 5ghz to
licensed), and changing some EPMP1000 sectors to EPMP3000. The Water
department admits that our stuff is small and won't matter, but since
there are multiple cell sites on each water tank, they have to keep the
same rules for everyone, and we don't have enough luck to just 'change
it and see if they notice' They'll notice.
What type of company do I need to be looking for do to
drawings/engineering? I found a structural engineering firm, but they
only take existing drawings/plans and work from them so I need someone
to do drawings. Ballpark pricing for something like that?
