What distance are the two holes apart and how much clearance is there in the
holes. I am just being nosey because if there is enough clearance and room
you could probably pull it through yourselves. You can check the strain that
a cable will take on some websites and if the cable is not affected by
grease you could use this to reduce the strain. Most cables now days are
very tough items. 

I know it is a cheapskates way to do it but with enough planning you could
make a nice little job of it. You could also add it to your CV (This has
nothing to do with CVS for any lurking agencies) "Sys Admin and Fibre optic
cable fitter extraordinary". You would of course still require someone to do
a decent job of splicing the thing and I think its quite expensive if it's
multimode.
