The tower's a 48' Trylon self-supporting affair.
The base, rebar cage, and additional rebar driven into the hole walls for
positioning are all welded together.
The contractor made damn sure the base will remain plumb during the pour.
I intend to use 3 - 6 additional rods outside the cage attached to the legs
with big cable.
Not familiar with the term "Ufer"?

Hi OM,

Bond the rebar cage and have a lead to it accessible for an Ufer
ground.
