TriWire has been selected to build Charlemont’s municipal fiber distribution network. As the lowest qualified bidder, the team at TriWire will begin construction on the town’s fiber-optic backbone as soon as our Make-Ready work is complete. The construction bid is very close to our initial estimates as the project continues to come in on budget.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, National Grid projects the completion of our Make-Ready is on schedule, however, Verizon’s Make-Ready completion date has been extended an additional 60 days. The Make-Ready phase of the project will continue to be the most uncertain since the utility companies schedule and perform this work based on independent internal timelines.
