Cell Tower Consultants

The Town of Fairfield is seeking a qualified consulting firm to act as its negotiator for contractual arrangements that allow cellular carriers and related service providers to place antennas and related equipment on town-owned property. The consultant will be responsible for reviewing requests, developing lease or easement agreements, ensuring compliance with local regulations, and providing strategic advice on site selection and revenue optimization. This engagement is intended to support the town’s infrastructure goals while generating appropriate compensation for the use of public land. • Scope includes analysis of proposed antenna sites, preparation of lease/easement drafts, and negotiation with carriers. • Deliverables: negotiated agreements, summary reports, and recommendations for future tower placements. • Required expertise: telecommunications infrastructure, municipal law, real‑estate negotiations, and public‑sector consulting. • No line‑item bidding; firms submit a single proposal. • Project likely to be short‑term (months) but could extend based on number of sites and negotiations.
