The eligible charges also include basic installation and special construction. Leased Dark Fiber: The District leases capacity (i.e. a specific number of fiber strands) on a provider-owned and maintained fiber network. The eligible charges also include basic installation, special construction and maintenance and operations (M&O) and equipment to light the fiber. The maintenance and operations (M&O) charges related to leased dark fiber service will be the responsibility of the service provider.
