hanijuzar ,

Get a copy of ASCE 10-97 " Design of Latticed Steel Transmission Structures". You will find the required information regarding loads and combinations to be used.

Design of foundation is just like any regular foundation( Spread, Pile etc.)

For the base plates you may face lack of info
And this is a good guideline in the internet:
Design of Monopole Bases. By Daniel Horn, P.E.

Also, there are some specialized software that would save you big effort
I don't remember any
But some looks pretty comprehensive and can do the whole design and claimed to be used by specialized companies.
