The City of Durango has built a fiber optic network throughout the city as well as established existing conduit to be used for broadband facilities.

NEO’s Scope of Work. The City of Durango hired NEO to put together a valuation of the city’s existing conduit and fiber assets and to assist the City of Durango with the valuation and contract negotiations of IRUs of its fiber optic assets.

The Result: The City of Durango used the NEO valuation in securing long-term IRU contracts with providers and is currently issuing a Request for Proposal to various service providers to use the City’s existing assets to offer advanced broadband and wireless services to the community. NEO continues to consult with the City of Durango on various matters related to best practices, policies and recommendations to further advance broadband services.
