You can put micro duct in regular duct, but not if it is occupied. Perhaps
someone can do it. I can't.
I hate any form of overblowing/double stuffing.
I would not do it unless I got a piece of the recurring action.

Subject: [AFMUG] Possible Fiber project for school
We may have an opportunity to bid on a fiber project to a rural
elementary school in our footprint. RFP has not been published yet,
so we have had only high level talks about this.
We can do this 3 ways.
1. A completely new build out for the school. Their own fiber, ducts,
handholes, etc. About 16 miles of state road so DOT will be
involved.
2. About 4 miles new build on a state road which will get them to our
footprint. We then lease them the other 12 miles on our fiber.
3. About 4 miles new build on a state road to our footprint, then we
attempt to pull their fiber through our duct for the remaining 12
miles.
Option #1 is going to be the most time consuming and most expensive.
But they are only out of pocket 20%. E-Rate will pick up the other
80%. Advantages to them, they own everything. Disadvantage, they
have to maintain everything. No real advantage to us, Just takes us
away from doing what we do. Maybe we can get a maintenance contract
from them for fiber cuts, etc. But I doubt it.
Option #2 quickest cleanest way to go. Bang out a 4 mile run and be
done with it. Disadvantages to them, reoccurring charges. Not sure
if dark fiber is covered under e-rate.
Option #3 try to squeeze their fiber into our current duct. We use
1.25" duct and I think our current fiber is .75", so it would be tight
depending on count. Is there a way to sub-duct existing duct? I know
I saw some high count low diameter dense fiber at one of the WISPA
shows.
Opinions?
Thanks
