Depending on many variables, especially if you can plow some non-crossing lengths to save money, this will cost 1/4 to 1/3 million - the customer has the budget?
>From those questions it sounds like your fist fiber build, so my recommendation would be to have an experienced contractor do the design and management, so that you don't miss something major (e.g. that a certain road is state RoW instead of town RoW for whatever reason, and it turns out that you not only need to get different authorizarion to install there, but they need your line below 5ft, so if you plowed your conduit in at 3ft before the govt figured out how to tell you that, you need to rip it all out and re-do it, with much more expensive drilling). Also often experienced project managers have good hints like "if you can push your path one road over, most utilities aren't in there so you can save lots of money on not hydrovacing their lines and additional drill shots", or they know the unwritten processes to get maps of other utilities so you know where is easiest/cheapest to go. Also you would want to know how to register in your state CBYD membership and pay fees etc... Drilling under creeks/major ditches, at least in our province, required permission from government waterways department, which is a long process that doesn't always say "yes" at the end. Also they may require certain depth or pipe wall thickness that would require you to rent a bigger, more expensive drill than what you expected/budgeted to use for the rest of the project. A big increase in cable size will cost more to install due to time/effort manipulating the spools (possibly large costs if you change from "carry by hand" flat-drop 2ct size reels to "need to rent a toolcat for the whole project and clear a large area of brush so you can drive it in" 96ct reels) and additional difficulty/time jetting fiber into the conduit. Also for a big change you will need to switch the conduit and vaults (for slack storage) one size up, which adds costs up fast. Also a big change will take much longer to splice, so if you are splicing it every mile and at every creek crossing, that may double/triple your splicing costs. There's more detail, that I don't want spend forever writing, our company has been doing an extensive variety of fiber deployment (in Manitoba, which has its share of ground and weather challenges) so if you want you can phone me at some point and we can talk.
