About this file
This Addendum #1 document is a response to bidder questions issued by Hall County Government's Financial Services Purchasing Division for RFQ/P #46-027 regarding a property lease for installation and maintenance of a cellular tower in Georgia. The County is soliciting sealed bids from proposers in the regular business of installing and maintaining cellular towers. The addendum clarifies key project parameters and contractual terms, including that the awarded bidder must comply with all zoning, building, and setback ordinances as well as applicable federal and state laws. The County acknowledges that bidders may require additional time beyond the proposed 20-year initial term to secure commitments from cellular network providers and market the location; accordingly, the County is open to negotiating extended terms and additional renewal options. Height limits, ground space availability, and specific lease area locations will be determined by the awarded bidder rather than pre-designated by the County. Original submission due dates remain unchanged despite the addendum issuance.
Pricing for this procurement is structured around the anticipated cost to construct the tower, with bid bonds required at five percent of that cost. The lease agreement itself will be negotiated and presented to the awarded bidder following selection. The County has determined that it will not exempt the winning bidder from zoning processes or building restrictions, requiring full compliance with all applicable ordinances and regulations including Section 7.4.5 of the Hall County Code of Ordinances.

Response to Bidder Questions

RFQ/P #46-027 Hall County Property Lease for Installation & Maintenance of a Cellular Tower
Q1. Does the RFP exempt the winning bidder from the zoning process and any potential building/setback restrictions?
No. The awarded bidder must abide by all zoning and building/setback ordinances as well as Section 7.4.5 of the Hall County Code of Ordinances and all federal and state laws, rules, and regulations.
Q2. Based on the county’s expectations to perform the work in a timely and scheduled manner, has the county considered that the winning bidder may not yet have commitment from a cellular network provider, therefore, additional time may be necessary to market the location?
Yes, the County has considered this.
Q3. Has the county identified a height limit, ground space availability (square footage), and location of the lease area on the suggested property?
This will be the responsibility of the awarded bidder.
Q4. Would the county consider an extension of term beyond the proposed 20-year term?
Yes. A lease agreement will be presented to the awarded bidder.
Q5. Does the County have a plan for allowing more time than the proposed 20-year term mentioned in the RFP to allow for the location to be marketed?
The County understands that bidders may not have cellular network providers readily available. Thus, the County is open to discussing this further with the awarded bidder.
Q6. Will the original dates for submission be changed due to the addendum you plan to issue by end of next week?
No. All due dates remain as stated in the RFQ/P.
Q7. Clarification on the bond amount for this RFQ: Is the “bid amount” how much we are proposing it will cost to construct the tower?
Bid bonds shall be 5% of the anticipated cost to construct the tower.
Q8. Will the County consider lengthening the initial term and adding additional extensions?
Yes. See Q4 and Q5 above.
