With duct, it never happens. I would probably make them buy a spool of fiber and blow it in without splices if for some reason it needed to be cut. At the very least they would be on the hook for vault and splicing.

I assume tolerances is contract base, but if you wanted that 30k uncut, at what point would you consider the contract terms not met? If a cut necessitates an unplanned vault, who is normally responsible to provide the splice case and vault? What is your preference on who actually performs the splice, your splicers or the installation contractor?

If you have damage you can shift slack to add the splice. Only splice where you have to. I like 30,000’ reels when going long distances.

I assume that contract terms defined, but what is the norm? Like if you are at a crossing and catch the figure 8 with a track or something? What about if theres a factory defect in the spool?

Last year we paid $5-8/ft for drilling and $1.50-2/ft for plowing. Production, when I drill with one other guy locating, in open ground we can usually do >1000ft in a full day although often it's more like 6-7 shorter bores in the same day. Plowing, it's all based on how many obstacles. We usually do 1/3 or 1/2 mile a day but that's with crossing a few obstacles, drains, ditches etc. The plow itself can run at ~1mph in easy ground so that's not the limiting factor.
