Never been asked for GIS yet. Autocad, draftsight, lots of drawing programs. Cut and paste from google earth.
Sheet of butcher paper and a T square if you really are hurting. I presume you at least have a truck. Go rent one. I have been doing underground telecom construction since 1978. Believe me, I have done it. Pick and shovel. Climbing poles with a brace and bit. You can do a lot with a trencher and a shovel.

I'm in Ohio which is pretty easy to work with from what I gather, but they still wanted the GIS design of what you were doing. 2) They all want money. If you don't have $1000 you can't get product. Are you just pushing off your fiber reel off the truck? Where are you getting a truck for <$1000? 3) WISP that can't afford a one day trip, wisp wants paid for the bandwidth, still more than a one day event 4) HD wants money for seed, too. 5) Clever trick, that's a lot of hand digging to set that up and you better hope there's not a rock to divert your pipe The items you listed here are more than a 1 day trip.

Many times there are PUEs that you don’t need to even ask before you bury. I get private easements all the time for the price of a stamp and recording. Did 3 yesterday. 2) Graybar, Codale, Millenium, Ebay. Roll it, they will load it into the back of your truck. You can build a cheap saw horse based reel holder. 3) If you are a wisp or know a wisp you can get bandwidth. 4) You cut the sod, fold it over, trench, backfill and fold the sod back. Or go to HD and buy seed. 5) 1/2” steel water pipe, garden hose on one end. Dig a start hole. Turn on water. Start working the pipe under. Helps if you have a nozzle on the end. Or spend a few dollars for a missile.

How are you getting a spool of fiber? How are you moving it? You need bandwidth, how low can you possibly get that per month? If you're using a trencher, where are you getting the seed to fix the damage? How are you getting under a driveway?

That's my opinion. On Thu, Feb 10, 2022 at 2:18 PM Steve Jones <[email protected]> wrote: im trying to fund buying out a small underground construction outfit.

Im just looking for the numbers, not for funding. I'm curious how much has been dispersed in the last decade, how much is pending dispersal, how much is pending allocation and how much is pending legislation.
