How It Works

Prove the project before committing to the project.

GSMB organizes municipal broadband development into clear phases so leaders can make informed decisions at each stage.

A
Evidence First
Test the opportunity before major commitment
B
Decision Gates
Municipal choice at each major stage
C
Qualified Delivery
Specialized firms perform specialized work
D
Long-Term Oversight
Operations, standards and performance reporting
Phase I

Feasibility & Business Case

Market and competition review, demand analysis, preliminary engineering, cost ranges, operating assumptions, financial modeling, funding review and decision package.

Phase II

Engineering & Project Structure

Advance technical design, operating structure, financing strategy, procurement preparation and partner coordination if the municipality elects to proceed.

Phase III

Procurement & Construction

Support a compliant procurement and coordinate implementation with selected engineering, construction and technology firms.

Phase IV

Launch & Ongoing Management

Coordinate the operating model, performance reporting, service standards and long-term program management.

A feasibility study is not a promise to build.

Its purpose is to replace assumptions with evidence and give the municipality a defensible go, revise or no-go decision.
