Last September, the Blandin Foundation awarded Northfield funding for an Open Access Feasibility Study. Well, they are moving ahead with the study and recently posted a RFP on their web site.

Here’s the gist from the proposal:

The City of Northfield is seeking proposals for a Fiber to the Premise Feasibility Study. The purpose of this effort is to hire a qualified firm to provide insight on the feasibility of installing fiber to the premise within the city limits of Northfield.

This RFP is designed to elicit responses to a set of defined issues, listed under the Scope of Work, and also stimulate creativity in adding value to the overall concept of fiber to the premise within the City of Northfield.

I thought some blog readers might like to see the RFP in case their own community may be embarking on a similar journey. I thought other readers might be interested in submitting a proposal. Either way – good luck!
