this may not be the project that you are referring to,but i went to the pre-bid construction meeting in hamilton about a year ago along with about 20 other contractors.it was a city owned fiber ring that was to tie into all government bldgs. the issue that came up was with cincinnati bell,they were there to get all the info on the job also,and a local contractor made the comment that if cin-bell didnt get the bid that they would drag their feet on all the make ready on the bell poles thus keeping the bid winner from making the completion date and incurring a $500.00 a day fine.they also had a duct bank that was never proofed .bottom line was that local govenment was not prepared and could not answer most questions asked effectively.by the way it was 70 mile ring.hope this helps
