Tower grounding.

Fellow reflector members:

I know that a tower mounted ON, not in/through a
concrete base needs a grounding cable.  But in
the case where the tower, Rohn HDBX-48 in my
case, will be mounted onto metal stubs (BXB-8)
that go through the concrete and are touching
the ground underneath, is it still necessary
for an additional grounding cable?

I've got a feeling that there are some codes
governing this but I just don't know where to
turn to get them.  The Rohn manual for the 
HDBX-48 doesn't specify anything in the way of
grounding.

Thanks in advance for advice!
