How confident are we in the ground at each end of the run? Is the
existing cabling shielded and grounded at both ends? If we're going to
ground both ends of the run, let's make sure we're not making a
significant ground loop.

I don't know nearly enough about the electrical service at Omni to have
an opinion on whether a ground loop is likely, and I'm definitely not a
pro at this kind of thing, but I think if you stop just short of
hooking it up and measure the current through the drain wire, as long
as it's reasonably low you're in good shape.

I don't do a lot with shielded twisted pair though, so if I'm confused,
please correct me. :)
