Feedback sought on Rural FTTH Case Study

I will be presenting at the 2017 BICSI Fall Conference in Las Vegas in September and I am working on the simplistic case study that I shall be using to work with the Attendee's and would like your input on the below as to what your thoughts are on whether:

1) You feel you could achieve this project with timetable and budget provided

2) What additional information you believe would be needed for a Project Manager to commit to delivery of this project within budget and timetable.

So here is the reference case that I have put together to this point and would like your views:

This project assumes 100% take rate, as at present the only service available is limited. The company has no existing infrastructure in Rural Town USA.

The budget for this Rural Town USA program is $1.2Million which is an allocation of $1,565 per HHP, considering 756 units passed.  This budget is shared between the passive and active network projects.  This is an all-inclusive budget for project management, design, materials, construction, shipping, and taxes.

This project is allocated 9-months from start-to-finish to meet all deliverables.

Scope of Work

The target for this project is to utilize a mixture of 20% aerial and 80% underground. Aerial is a mixture of front yard access and back-alley access. Underground rights-of-way is 10-feet from back of curb or edge-of-pavement. Within the public underground utility corridor the water, gas, sewer, storm drains, and telephone cable are currently residing.
