[AFMUG] Rates for fiber repair

[Adam Moffett]

I'm curious what some of you guys might charge for running 200' of new 
cable through a conduit, adding a splice case at both ends of the 
conduit, and splicing the old cable to the new section.

This is on private property and the existing cable was broken (bent into 
a hairpin by outside trauma) just outside the conduit.  There's not 
enough sticking out of the pipe to put a splice there, so I have to run 
a new piece through the conduit.

I guess the scope of work isn't that important though.  I'm more 
interested in how you bill it.  I know some people use an hourly rate 
for installing the cable and then a flat fee per splice.  Is there a 
justification for charging per splice as opposed to charging for T&M?  
Is it to recoup the cost of the splicer perhaps?
