About TSS
Telecom Site Services is a tower site acquisition company for the wireless telecommunications industry. Since 1995, TSS has provided all components of land acquisition for tower leases, including co-locations, zoning, title review, 911 addressing, building permits, FAA approvals, environmentals and FCC registration. TSS can also supervise surveyors, utility connections, and geotech operations.
Ray, the principal professional, has worked most of the rural and metro areas in Texas, plus New Mexico, Louisiana and Oklahoma and will personally do the site selection, title, environmentals and zoning.
Emphasis is made to implementation of the environmental phases of telecom siting early in the process, in particular, the NEPA/SHPO/Indian notifications. Ray is an EPA-qualified Environmental Site Assessor, so he can start the Indian Tribal notification process (TCNS) as soon as a good candidate is identified, i.e. before the lease is signed and whether it is the primary or back-up candidate- the notification process will start during the initial site search, not after the lease is signed. Whether you use TSS for your lease acquisition or use your own site acquisition people, TSS can provide our trademarked ARROWnote service to your company, which can save one to three months in the site “timeline” completion process. Ray has personally submitted Section 106 SHPO Form 620/621’s in 9 states.
The Phase I and NEPO/SHPO/Indian notification services, when combined with the site acquisition process, means a considerable cost savings to the client.
