    There have been hundreds of tower manufacturers  over the years so you'll 
probably never find out exactly.
 
    You could make some educated inferences from  similar towers; e.g. AN, 
Trylon Titan, Rohn, etc. Or the best thing to do is to  get an engineer 
involved 
since he'll be designing the base anyway as part of the  PE part of your 
permit application. Or skip the permit and just get the calcs  and base design. 
 
    BTW the original base design is out of date  since it was designed before 
the current TIA-222 was even written or the  subsequent revisions published 
so it might not be useful so you'd have to  have it redesigned anyway.
