Palo Alto Online reports that a partner in Palo Alto’s broadband efforts has acquired an unsuccesful bidder for the project:

PacketFront is a partner of 180 Connect, which was selected by the City Council in January to work with the city to investigate developing a fiber network.

DynamicCity also submitted a bid for the project, but its submittal was deemed "non-responsive" because it would have the city bear all the financial risk with the approximately $41 million project.
