Good Bye Generator! - September 30, 2011



MC Dean, the contractor that completed the electrical installation at 1000 5th Street, SE, wraps up its responsibility today as the generator that powered the school during our first few weeks of operation awaiting PEPCO is towed off the lot.

Using a generator was in our contingency plan to provide electric service to the modular units. It was a contingency that we did not think would occur given all the hurdles in the power supply chain that had been successfully overcome during the design and construction process. However, the double whammy of the delay in delivering the modular units to the site plus PEPCO's diversion to higher priority service requirements following Hurricane Irene activated our Plan B.

MC Dean provided flawless support during our period of temporary generator use both in keeping the unit mechanically fit but as important keeping it fueled even when that required weekend and holiday deliveries.
