all of these questions are valid. The guys who will use it would love to have line rate on the 10G, for a single conversation, but that's not going to happen. So, there's a certain amount of expectation management. For the purpose we're proposing, this would be an additional link to an existing office, a link for test/lab traffic specifically. We would run the lab management on the existing link (s) and provide some sort of restricted failover as well. Sorry I'm not going into more detail, just trying to balance the need for some info versus ... you know. This link wouldn't need to be 5 Nines, but with the office primary and backup, we can provide the connectivity almost 100% of the time. Thanks for all the comments everyone, they have been helpful.

Also, what are reliability and redundancy requirements.
10 gigs of bare naked fiber is one thing, but if you need extra paths redundancy, figure that out now and specify.
Is this latency, bandwidth, both? Mission critical, business critical, less priority? 24x7x365, or subset of that, or intermittent only?

It's typically that the last mile portion of the circuit is going to cost you the most, so it's important to know those details.

Fair enough
Seattle to Boston is the general route, real close.

Might want to be more specific. Catalina Island, CA to Buxton, NC (home of Cape Hatteras High School) will probably be way different than downtown LA to downtown Boston.
