“In January 2014, the Bath-Highland Telecommunications
Management Team (TMT) led by CSPDC Regional Planner Robert Huff, solicited
proposals for professional broadband telecommunications planning services. A
selection committee made up of several TMT members reviewed eight proposals and
invited three firms to interview. Consulting Gateway Corporation (CGC), in
association with Dewberry Engineers, Inc., was selected to develop the plan.
CGC has provided multiple options that the TMT reviewed at their March meeting
in order to make service contract recommendations to local officials.
The TMT is a group of about 30 individuals that have been
tasked with improving Bath-Highland broadband services. The TMT acquired state
funding for the preparation of a
comprehensive Community Telecommunications Plan, which will include a needs
assessment analysis, broadband education and application development, last mile
connectivity solutions, preliminary engineering and cost estimates,
organizational and operational recommendations, and funding strategies for
future implementation projects. The plan is expected to be completed in late
summer 2014.”
